Reel Adventures: The Silence of the Lambs Trivia Night
2026-01-16 17:30 - 20:00
It’s like a book club, but MUCH better!
Do you like movies? Do you like exploring behind the scenes and learning the nuts and bolts of movie making? If so, please join us for Reel Adventures: The Silence of the Lambs! It’s like a book club, but MUCH better! Along with good fun, food and drink, prizes awarded, and more.

It works like this: We pick a movie that is either available free of charge, or at minimal cost, on one or more digital platforms. You watch this movie in the comfort of your own home, and then we meet at the museum for a discussion led by film expert and director Jeffrey Goodman, intermixed with trivia and games.

We will be providing complimentary water, soft drinks, a signature-themed mocktail, and light hors d’oeuvres. However, you are encouraged to bring whatever snacks strike your fancy.

The Silence of the Lambs is a 1991 American psychological horror thriller film directed by Jonathan Demme and written by Ted Tally, adapted from Thomas Harris’s 1988 novel. It stars Jodie Foster as Clarice Starling, a young FBI trainee who is hunting a serial killer known as “Buffalo Bill” (Ted Levine), who skins his female victims. To catch him, she seeks the advice of the imprisoned Hannibal Lecter (Anthony Hopkins), a brilliant psychiatrist and cannibalistic serial murderer.

The Silence of the Lambs is available on Roku with subscription and YouTube TV, Amazon Prime, and Apple TV for $3.99.

So, we look forward to seeing you!
