Potluck and a Movie Night

Location

Emerson Hall, Court St. Castine.

The CAA is reviving its popular "Potluck and a Movie Night".  Gather at Emerson Hall for a wonderful potluck supper in the meeting room, followed by the film upstairs. Prior years' series (see below) were successful with excellent films introduced by Castine residents who selected a favorite film for the series. Some interesting background is given, scenes to watch for, who turned down the role, where the story originated, amusing stories from behind the scenes, etc., all of which make the viewing more interesting.

If you are willing to host a film, please contact Johanna Sweet (207)-326-4924 to fill in the schedule. Try to pick movies that, perhaps, everyone has not seen before or even knows about. An exellent on-line resource for movies is imdb.com. Movie DVDs are available through the Witherle Memorial Library.

Dates planned for the 2024 series are listed below.  Also, watch for announcements in emails and in the Patriot.

Potluck starts at 5:30 followed by the film at 6:30 (you can opt to just come for the film)
