WAM Nights: “Sixteen Candles” Movie Night
◆ Friday, October 2nd, 2026 | 6 - 8 PM

◆ Fall back in time with films that celebrate what it is to be a teen. In this program series, each screening features the nostalgic teenage Americana pictured in 'David Hornback: Where the Hell is Wichita?'. Grab a drink or a bite to eat from EAT at WAM and join us for a movie night.
