Tickets for the third annual Defending Democracy Film Festival on March 23 are now on sale at https://www.rehobothfilm.com/CAT-this-week-cinema-art-theater-now-playing! Celebrating International Women's Month, this fundraiser will start at 6 with a reception and raffle, with refreshments kindly provided by DiFebo’s restaurant. Proceeds from drinks benefit our partner, the Rehoboth Beach Film Society. The raffle will include donated items and a 50/50 prize.
