We start with a FREE Tour of the Historic Orinda Theatre with Film Critic and Author, Matías Bombal and learn more about its historic murals, ownership through the years, efforts to save this iconic theater space and more. The Time-Out website, based in France, listed it as the 23rd most beautiful theatre in the world in 2025. These tours are newly-offered at Orinda just having started in September.
The tour starts at 11:00 and last about an hour. Then grab a bite to eat nearby (attendees can choose where they'd like to eat as there are several options) (often the group splits up and goes off to different places) FINALLY at 1:00 we'll see the classic 1964 film about what could happen if the wrong person pushed the wrong button -- and it played the situation for laughs. A mentally unstable American general orders a hydrogen bomb attack on the Soviet Union, triggering a path to global nuclear holocaust that a war room full of politicians and generals frantically tries to stop. Duration 1 hr 33 min
