Celebrate One City, One Book and join us for a film screening that highlights the cuisine of a local culture. This month’s selection celebrates Italian cuisine. 

Big Night (Rated R) is the story of Chef Primo (Tony Shalhoub) and businessman Secondo (Stanley Tucci) who are immigrant brothers from Italy who open their dream restaurant, Paradise, in New Jersey. However, Primo's authentic food is too unfamiliar for the local tastes, and the restaurant is struggling. When famous Italian-American bandleader Louis Prima is scheduled to appear at Paradise, the two brothers put all of their efforts into the important meal, which will likely decide the fate of their restaurant.

A representative from a local Italian restaurant will be invited to attend with a brief presentation before the film screening. There will be a sample of the cuisine provided. Contact Ronald Headen by email or call 336-412-6199 for more information.
