Guests are encouraged to dress in themed costume as we enjoy a featured film along with a themed secret dinner menu experience inspired by the film created by Elevenses Tavern. Elevenses will be popping up at this event with themed movie packs available for purchase/preorder and a portion of all sales will go directly to the cinema. Costume contest and more to be announced. Dinner will immediately follow the film at Elevenses, starting at roughly 7 PM (see tickets for details). Each movie ticket supports the theater with a special price of $11/ea. This event helps support the continued operation of our beloved local theater while bringing the community together for a fun—dare we say—nerdy night out.

People Plus Music in April Online Auction
2026-04-01 - 2026-04-30 | Online Auction
The 24th annual People Plus Music in April online auction fundraiser is now OPEN! The online auction features almost 400 items, launched on April 1, and will close on April 30 at 9:00 pm.
The auction will feature items including local gift certificates, jewelry, private dinners, variety baskets, clothing, paintings, vintage treasures, hand-made items and much more – there is something for everyone – in every price range! Visit www.peopleplusmaine.org, and click on the link for the auction to view the catalog of amazing items. New items will be added every week so check back often and place your bids (you’ll be notified if someone outbids you so you can bid again!).
Music in April is THE signature fundraiser for People Plus, celebrating its 50th anniversary this year! It includes the online auction plus a gala dinner and live auction event on Saturday, April 11 from 5-9 pm at St. Johns Community Center in Brunswick. Proceeds enable us to serve over 1700 People Plus members who represent an ever-increasing population of retirees and elders on the Mid Coast. This non-profit could NOT do it without the income from Music in April – which has become a fantastic signature event in our community. The Center has raised over $915,000 from the event over the last 23 years. These last few years have demonstrated exactly how vital People Plus is to the lives of the older adult populations. In addition to hundreds of classes, clubs and meals held safely at the Center, we made over four thousand deliveries of groceries, food pantry boxes, meals and prescriptions – and provided over 33,000 miles of transportation – just last year, keeping seniors safe!
People Plus serves the greater Brunswick community by offering a variety of activities to support engaged, healthy and independent lives for older adults, as well as hosting the Teen Center where young people can meet safely to explore creative outlets, eat a healthy meal, and develop into well-rounded adults. People Plus also provides outreach and transportation services and offers many volunteer opportunities.
