Jane did a great job, so let’s all make sure to thank her when we see her around Penn’s Village!

This Week at Penn’s Village

Penns Village Goes to the Movies - Antoinette

Monday, September 15th
2:00 - 4:00 p.m.
Philadelphia City Institute - Free Library, 1905 Locust St.

Antoinette in the Cévennes is a delightful road-trip-in-a-comedy disguise. What starts as a quest for love becomes a journey of self-awareness as Antoinette navigates heartbreak, eccentric landscapes, and the quirks of her donkey sidekick. It’s a thoughtful, tender story about moving on, embracing the unexpected, and delighting in unlikely friendships.

No registration required!
