Come Play Bridge (On Campus)
Description: This study group is for people who already know how to play bridge. Join us if you would like to meet other ICL members who play and want to have more opportunities to play the game. We welcome those who have recently learned the game as well as intermediate and advanced players. We will be playing for FUN, not cutthroat! Hopefully we can all learn from one another. NOTE: This is an ongoing study group, but new participants are always welcome.

Variety - The Spice of Life (On Campus)

A pair of documentaries, one directed by his former comedic partner, Elaine May, the other produced by the PBS American Masters series 4 months before his death, chart the life and career of this multi-talented film and theater director. One of only 19 people to have won all four major American entertainment awards, his films secured 42 Academy Award nominations, winning 7. Join us for a nostalgic trip you're guaranteed to enjoy.

The Comic Genius of Peter Sellers (On Campus)
Description: Peter Sellers has been variously described by his peers as "the greatest comic genius England has produced since Charles Chaplin,” one of the most glittering comic talents of his age,” and as one who "changed like a chameleon throughout the era, dazzling audiences.” The films starring Sellers as Inspector Jacques Clouseau and directed by Blake Edwards particularly showcased his comedic brilliance. We will view and discuss the five hilarious Pink Panther films, with a surprise bonus Peter Sellers comedy in the final session. Members will be treated to some of the most hysterically funny films ever produced!
