The Wedding Banquet
The Wedding Banquet is a joyful comedy of errors that reimagines Ang Lee's 1993 film, exploring the complexities of relationships between two LGBT couples. It follows a gay man, Min, who makes a deal with a lesbian couple, Angela and Lee, to obtain a green card in exchange for her partner's IVF treatments. Their plans are disrupted when Min's grandmother surprises them with a traditional Korean wedding banquet. The film delves into the challenges and evolving dynamics within these couples, balancing humor and emotional depth.

Concessions and cash bar available.

Tickets are only $12 and are available at the Ajax and McLean Community Centres, the Audley Recreation Centre, and online at www.ajax.ca/sfc. For more information, call 905-619-2529, ext. 2787 (ARTS), email us at stfranciscentre@ajax.ca, or visit us online at www.ajax.ca/sfc
