Scott Fitzgerald’s iconic characters-where the cocktails flow, secrets bubble to the surface, and guests become part of the story. With handcrafted cocktails, dancing the Charleston, and a twist of undercover intrigue, you’ll mingle with Gatsby, Daisy, Nick, and Jordan as the evening unfolds across three acts. Dress to impress and prepare to party like it’s the Roaring Twenties-because on Gatsby’s boat, everyone has something to hide.
