"ANIMAL CRACKERS"

One Night Only: Wednesday, May 13th at 7:15pm

At the elegant Long Island estate of society matron Mrs. Rittenhouse, high society gathers for a lavish weekend party in honor of a celebrated explorer returning from Africa. But when the guest of honor turns out to be the wildly unpredictable Captain Geoffrey T. Spaulding—played by Groucho Marx—the evening quickly descends into delightful chaos.

Joined by his equally mischievous cohorts, including the silent but scheming Harpo Marx and the fast-talking Chico Marx, Spaulding disrupts the rigid world of high society with rapid-fire wit, absurd antics, and unforgettable musical numbers. When a priceless painting goes missing, suspicion spreads among the guests, leading to a madcap investigation filled with disguises, double-crosses, and signature Marx Brothers mayhem.

Based on their hit Broadway show, Animal Crackers is a sparkling showcase of the Marx Brothers at their finest—blending clever wordplay, physical comedy, and satirical jabs at the upper crust. A timeless comedy classic that still delivers big laughs nearly a century later.

This special presentation includes live introduction and post screening discussion with film historian Harry Marks of "Let's All Go to the Lobby".

Don't miss this rare opportunity to experience a classic film as it was meant to be seen on the Big Screen!
