A screening of The Princess Bride with Cary Elwes in New Bedford? As you wish!

Journey back to the fantastical lands of Florin and Guilder for an adventure filled with fencing, fighting, torture, revenge, giants, chases, rodents of unusual size, near escapes, miracles, and, of course, true love. After a screening of the beloved film, Elwes will engage in a moderated discussion revealing an inconceivable look at life on and off the set of the iconic movie.

Friday, January 29 at 7:30PM. Get your tickets at zeiterion.org

The Zeiterion celebrates the life of feminist icon Gloria Steinem, who graced the Zeiterion stage in 2018.

She addressed the political climate, helped revive activism for women’s rights, and took questions from the audience as part of the New Bedford Lyceum collaboration.

We honored the event by commissioning artist Peter Cardoso to create a limited edition silkscreen poster.
