Dinner & a Movie: Philomena
Based on a best-selling book, this film explores the history of unmarried mothers and their children through Philomena’s heart-wrenching (and at times amusing) search for her long-lost son.
Dinner is complements of Philomena’s Irish homeland—soda bread, farmhouse salad with goat cheese, Gaelic chicken with mushroom whiskey sauce, steamed vegetables, mashed potatoes, Bailey’s Irish Cream cheesecake, and Irish coffee.

Dinner & a Movie: Chef
When an executive chef gets into a very public fight with a restaurant reviewer, he’s forced to go back to his roots with a food truck while also piecing back together his estranged family. Their road trip across the southern U.S. features wonderful Miami, New Orleans, and Austin music as well as Gumbo, Cuban sandwiches, Texas BBQ, and beignets. This experience should warm your heart and your taste buds.

The Melody Lingers On
“Irving Berlin has no place in American Music. He is American Music.” Jerome Kern
With a life that spanned more than 100 years, and a canon of music written over the course of five decades and covering several genres as ballads, dance numbers, novelty tunes, and love songs, Irving Berlin defined American music. The Melody Lingers On is as much a story of his life as it is a wonderful collection of his music. The audience can look forward to a trip through time, and will happily recognize many of the songs…Puttin’ On the Ritz; Oh, How I Hate to Get Up in the Mornin’; Always; and, of course, White Christmas among many others. Let’s enjoy this family-friendly ride together!
