Silent Stars, Powerful Voices

Theda Bara and St. Augustine’s Film Legacy
Elegant Evening Buffet, Wine Bar & Presentation with Dr. Tom Graham
Tuesday, March 31 | 6:00 PM | $60

Join us for an elegant evening buffet and wine bar at the Historic Peña-Peck House, followed by an illustrated presentation by historian Tom Graham, Professor Emeritus of History at Flagler College.

With rare film clips and vivid storytelling, Dr. Graham explores the life and legacy of silent-film icon Theda Bara—then turns the spotlight on St. Augustine itself. Discover how our city became an early center of motion-picture history, hosting film crews, stars, and studios that helped shape American cinema. Learn how Theda Bara’s career intersected with this remarkable moment, and how St. Augustine’s landscapes and light left a lasting imprint on the birth of film.
