Croissant Happy Hour

Move over popcorn, butter has a new best friend! The historic Newtown Theatre is once again teaming up with Mamie Colette Bakery for a “Croissant Happy Hour” and French movie on Thursday, June 5.  

This whimsical event begins at Mamie Colette’s with an after-hours croissant happy hour featuring “croissanterie boards” and drinks from 6:00 to 7:00 PM. During this hour, guests will enjoy a variety of freshly baked mini croissants, cheese, fresh fruit and drinks. At 7:00 PM, guests will begin making their way down State Street to the Newtown Theatre for a 7:30 screening of “The Taste of Things.”

“The Taste of Things” was chosen as the French entry for Best International Feature Film at the 2024 Academy Awards. Set in France in 1889, the film follows the life of Dodin Bouffant, who lives with his personal cook and lover Eugénie. They share a long history of gastronomy and love, but Eugénie refuses to marry Dodin so the food lover decides to do something he has never done before: cook for her.  

Only 100 tickets will be sold for the happy hour/movie combo, and no tickets will be sold at the door. Those who only want to see the movie can buy tickets at the theatre’s box office starting at 7:00 that night.
