The JPT will take its guests back to the Twenties when romance seemed so divine, starting in the morning by watching Robert Redford and Mia Farrow star in the Award-winning 1974 movie at the Jane Pickens Theater - a magnificent historic theater that was actually a part of Newport life in the 1920s. Then, strolling the beautiful grounds of the Rosecliff Mansion - where The Great Gatsby was filmed - and experience how high society lived and loved.
