A Wicked Fun Time in Pleasantville
Get ready for an unforgettable weekend of Wicked at Jacob Burns Film Center! From Friday, Nov. 22, to Sunday, Nov. 24, we’re hosting a variety of events and special screenings to make this a magical experience for fans of all ages.
Friday, Nov. 22
- 4–8 pm: Wicked-Themed Cocktails in the Lobby
Make your way to our lobby for Wicked-themed cocktails crafted by a local bartender from Crawdaddy’s Creole Kitchen, with both alcoholic and non-alcoholic options available to enhance your evening!- Cocktail—Wicked Green Elph
This green cocktail channels Elphaba and is made of Midori, vodka, lemon, lime, club soda and pink & black edible glitter. The carbonation from the club soda keeps the glitter iridescent and moving throughout the green drink, creating a black and pink aura. - Mocktail—My Pretty
This pink mocktail, reflective of Glinda, consists of jasmine green tea, lemon, plum hibiscus syrup, and ginger beer. The bubbles from the ginger beer are a play on the bubble that Glinda arrives and departs by. This vibrant pink mocktail is garnished with green apple rock candy
