An Officer and a Gentleman – Free Movie Event

Presented by: Veterans Connection: Meetup & Workshop
Sponsored by: M & T Bank
An Officer and a Gentleman follows Zack Mayo (Richard Gere), a headstrong Navy recruit determined to coast through Aviation Officer Candidate School. But his swagger is quickly challenged by the relentless discipline of Gunnery Sergeant Emil Foley (Louis Gossett Jr.), whose tough-love leadership forces Zack to confront his own flaws. As Zack navigates grueling training and unexpected emotional trials, he finds himself drawn to Paula (Debra Winger), a spirited local with dreams of her own. Through hardship, romance, and self-discovery, Zack learns that becoming an officer—and a gentleman—requires more than just ambition. It demands heart. Tickets are available by calling 570-836-1022 x2 or at the Dietrich’s ticket booth while they last.

Admission: Free admission, small popcorn and small soda!
