The Park Theatre, 19 Main St. in Jaffrey, will hold a night of song and food on New Year’s Eve. The evening features local favorites Bernie and Louise Watson, and the party will go from 5 to 7:30 p.m. on Dec. 31.

The party will include hot and cold hors d’oeuvres from Carolyn Edwards’ Sunflowers Café, the next-door neighbor of the performing arts center. Longtime friends of the theater, “Bernie & Louise” will provide the entertainment for dancing and listening. Tickets are $30 each, and a cash bar will be open.

“Bernie and Louise have been fervent supporters of The Park Theatre for many years. They have performed for fundraising events, parties and concerts. Everyone remarks that they are the sweetest couple and beloved by all who watch them perform so beautifully. Their music evokes incredible memories for people. Combine that with Sunflowers Café and you have the perfect recipe for a grand New Year’s Eve event,” state Steve Jackson, CEO and managing director of The Park Theatre.

The debut of the new “West Side Story” film happens right after the party at 7:30 p.m. in the theater’s Eppes Auditorium. Tickets for West Side Story can be purchased separately at $9 for adults, $8 for military, seniors, children and students/teachers.

Tickets can be purchased at theparktheatre.org or by calling the box office 603-532-8888. Proof of vaccination and masks are mandatory at the theater for all events.
