“I am excited that we have the opportunity to open our campus up to the community for a series of movie nights this summer,” says Quest University president George Iwama. “Quest is in a beautiful location surrounded by mountains, which makes it an ideal space for outdoor events. With COVID restrictions loosening, we are happy to be able to host events again for the public — in a way that is safe and fun for the whole family. I would like you, our community, to feel more comfortable and familiar with our campus. I look forward to welcoming you to one or more of these shows.”
This year’s exciting lineup includes some all-time favorite movies. Blacksmith Will Turner teams up with eccentric pirate “Captain” Jack Sparrow to save his love, the governor’s daughter, from Jack’s former pirate allies, who are now undead in Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl to be shown on July 22.
Iron Man, the superhero movie that kicked off the Marvel Universe movies, will be the feature on August 5. After being held captive in an Afghan cave, billionaire engineer Tony Stark creates a unique weaponized suit of armor to fight evil.
On August 19, come watch Monsters University and take a look at the relationship between Mike Wazowski (Billy Crystal) and James P. “Sully” Sullivan (John Goodman) during their days at Monsters University, when they weren’t necessarily the best of friends.
