Spend a night in jail with John Waters and have dinner with Murray Bartlett!
The Provincetown Film Society (PFS) has announced details for its fourth annual winter auction. Taking place online February 2-11, 2024, the the PFS annual winter auction features a variety of items, experiences, and getaways, including “A Night in Jail with John Waters” and a private dinner for two with Emmy Award-winning actor Murray Bartlett (The White Lotus, Welcome to the Chippendales, Tales of the City, Looking).
“A Night in Jail with John Waters” is a once-in-a-life sentence experience. Four lucky inmates will get the chance to go behind bars to dine and spend the night in Provincetown Jail with John Waters in July 2024. After a private meal served by Chef Jacob Hetnarski, inmates can return to their cells for the night, or prowl the corridors in the hopes of making friends – just be up in time for 6am parole!
All proceeds will benefit the mission of Provincetown Film Society to present and advocate for gender, racial, and LGBTQ+ representation on screen by providing year-round programming and platforms that allow voices of all kinds to be heard, as well as the upcoming 26th annual Provincetown International Film Festival, which runs June 12-16, 2024.
