The Princess Bride in Dexter Park

About this event

Last summer we partnered with the West Broadway Neighborhood Association (WBNA) for an outdoor screening in Dexter Park in Providence. It was a wonderful event and everyone had a great time. So this year, WBNA reached out about doing TWO outdoor screenings in Dexter Park. There'll be one in September, and then there's this one coming up on the 29th. The movie we're playing is the much-beloved *The Princess Bride*! A high-spirited adventure that pits true love against inconceivable odds, *The Princess Bride* has charmed legions of fans with its irreverent gags, eccentric ensemble, and dazzling swordplay. A kid (Fred Savage), home sick from school, grudgingly allows his grandfather (Peter Falk) to read him a dusty storybook—which is how we meet the innocent Buttercup (Robin Wright, in her breakout role), about to marry the nefarious Prince Humperdinck (Chris Sarandon) though her heart belongs to Westley (Cary Elwes). The wedding plans are interrupted, however, by a mysterious pirate, a vengeful Spaniard, and a good-natured giant, in a tale full of swashbuckling, romance, and outrageously hilarious spoofery. Directed by Rob Reiner from an endlessly quotable script by William Goldman, *The Princess Bride* reigns as a fairy-tale classic. Join us on Saturday, August 29th for a 7:20pm outdoor screening of *The Princess Bride* in Dexter Park. A lot of people come to WBNA events, and judging from the RSVPs from our other outdoor events, people love outdoor movies. Because of that, I'm going to say that we should meet in the park at 6:30pm to hang out and find a spot together. I'll put in the comments where we are the day of. I'm pretty sure we'll have popcorn and hot chocolate for sale. **There will not be seats, though, so it's up to you to provide your own chair or blanket.** It's also a free event. See you there!
