After dinner, guests will walk around the corner to the historic theatre for a screening of “The 100-Foot Journey,” which will start at 7:30 PM.
The movie follows Hassan Kadam, a largely self-taught culinary novice. When he and his family are displaced from their native India and settle in a quaint French village, they decide to open an Indian eatery. However, Madame Mallory (Helen Mirren), the proprietress of an acclaimed restaurant just 100 feet away, strongly objects. War erupts between the two establishments, until Mallory recognizes Hassan’s impressive epicurean gifts and takes him under her wing.
Tickets are $100 per person for the dinner and movie. Price includes tax and tip.
Tickets for the movie only will be available at the theatre box office on the night of the movie. Cost is $12 for adults and $6 for members.
