Metropolitan
Wednesday, Dec 24, 2025 at 4:00 PM - English
Celebrate the season with a Holiday Presentation featuring a special screening of METROPOLITAN!
An ironically comic look at Manhattan’s endangered debutante scene, Metropolitan chronicles the rise and ultimate decline of a group of young Park Avenue socialites who gather nightly to discuss love, honor, and the impending demise of their class.
Into their midst comes an outsider in a rented tuxedo, Tom Townsend, a Fourierist socialist from the socially alien West Side. But there is a real escort shortage on, so Tom is welcomed into the group, particularly by Nick Smith, the group’s ostensibly arrogant but oddly kind ringleader, and by quietly charming Audrey Rouget.
A witty, richly detailed comedy-drama, Metropolitan accurately portrays the surviving remnants of the world, which F. Scott Fitzgerald’s This Side of Paradise caught at its heyday.
“Ironic, touching and wickedly funny, it’s hard to imagine a more impressive debut.”— Mike McGrady, Newsday
Irresistibly funny.” –Janet Maslin, The New York Times
