About Our Film
Suze is a prize-winning Canadian comedy-drama, written and directed by Dane Clark and Linsey Stewart. The film stars Michaela Watkins as Suze, a woman whose feelings of empty nest syndrome, after her daughter Brooke (Sara Waisglass) moves away to attend university, lead her to become a doting mother figure to Brooke’s ex-boyfriend Gage (Charlie Gillespie) ….. even though she never liked him at all when he and Brooke were dating. You can get a glimpse of this terrific film by viewing the trailer.
This special screening of the film will be accompanied by popcorn while you view!
Tickets are $25 per person. You will receive a full charitable tax receipt when you purchase your tickets. Bring your friends. Everyone is welcome!
Many, many thanks to our sponsor: Julie Parker, Royal Service Real Estate Inc. Julie is covering the costs of the film and the venue. As a result, all proceeds go to CFUW-Northumberland scholarships.
Established in Canada, truly Canadian.
Don’t miss the special offers from these nearby businesses:
Boston Pizza and CJ’s Tap and Grill are both offering a 10% discount to ticket holders on Monday March 24.
