From award-winning writer-director Mona Fastvold (The World to Come, The Brutalist) comes the extraordinary true legend of Ann Lee, founder of the devotional sect known as the Shakers. Academy Award nominee Amanda Seyfried stars as the Shaker's irrepressible leader, who preached gender and social equality and was revered by her followers. The Testament of Ann Lee captures the ecstasy and agony of her quest to build a utopia, featuring more than a dozen traditional Shaker hymns reimagined as rapturous movements with choreography by Celia Rowlson-Hall (Vox Lux) and original songs & score by Academy Award winner Daniel Blumberg (The Brutalist).

We are having dinner beforehand at Oishii (same parking lot as the movie theater) just to make it more social. That's at 6:00. If you just want to come for the movie, meet us at the theater at 7:15 for the 7:30 showing. You can also come just to dinner - if you're coming for just dinner or just the movie, please say so in the comments. I'd especially like to have an approximate count for dinner.

It's supposed to be 39° and sunny on Monday, and 46° on Tuesday, so I'm optimistic that the roads will be OK.
