Get ready for a fun-filled evening at Gorton Center with a screening of the iconic 80s classic, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off! Directed by the legendary John Hughes, this timeless teen comedy is the perfect pick for anyone in the mood for laughs, nostalgia, and a little bit of rebellion.

The film follows Ferris Bueller, a charming, brash, and eternally confident high school senior who’s tired of spending his days cooped up in class. Rather than staying home sick, Ferris hatches a plan to skip school and take his best friend, Cameron, and girlfriend, Sloane, on an unforgettable adventure through the streets of Chicago. From high-speed car chases and daring museum escapades to a surprise appearance at a parade, Ferris leads the crew on a day that’s as exciting as it is unpredictable.

But, of course, no grand adventure is without its challenges. Enter the ever-determined principal, Ed Rooney, who is on a mission to catch Ferris in the act, adding even more chaos to the day’s mischief.

Filled with memorable moments, hilarious one-liners, and heartwarming scenes, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off is more than just a story about skipping school—it’s a celebration of youth, freedom, and the art of living in the moment.
