Film Screening of The Last Pig

Location: 3500 Arendell Street, Morehead City
Start Date: 04/27/2018 | End Date: 04/27/2018
Start Time: 7:00 pm | End Time: 8:30 pm

THE LAST PIG is a lyrical meditation on what it means to be a sentient creature with the power to kill. Deeply immersive, the film follows a farmer in his final year of slaughtering pigs. Through sparse, intimate musings, the farmer reveals his growing conflict over a life spent “peddling in death.” As the story unfolds, his struggle becomes our own. The Last Pig is a poetic snapshot of a seminal year in one man’s life as he journeys beyond the slaughterhouse.

THROUGH THE LOOKING-GLASS, by Lewis Carroll

Set in Wonderland... with two courses of themed tea & three courses of themed tea fare; including an appetizer, our formal two tiered server (stacked with savories and sweets) and our famous grand finale dessert... (Tea fare created for you by our kitchen artists inspired by Carroll's trip into this land of imagination).

This afternoon of whimsy will find our friends and guests attended by none other than the Mad Hatter, Alice, the March Hare, the Doormouse, the Red and White Queens, the Lion and the Unicorn, and Humpty Dumpty.

Music, story-telling and fantasy come to life in a theatrical tea-time- this is sure to be an afternoon to remember!

"I didn't know it was your table," said Alice: "it is laid out for a great many more than three." "Treacle..." said the Doormouse... "I want a clean cup," interrupted the Hatter...
