Then party in style at West Palm Beach's hottest nightspot - Resort. Featuring the world premiere of the comedy "When Do We Eat" starring Lesley Ann Warren, Jack Klugman, Michael Lerner, Adam Lamburg, Shiri Applby and Meredith Scott Lynn "When Do We Eat?" is the story of the "world's fastest Seder" gone horribly awry. It's about an old school dad (Michael Lerner) who's as tough on his sons as his father (Jack Klugman) is on him.On this night, however, one of the boys slips Dad a little extra special in his antacid in order "to give him a new perspective."Meanwhile, Mom (Lesley Ann Warren) brings a handsome stranger to dinner and the kids take sides. By the end of the night, though, Dad's visions turn him into a modern day Moses intent on leading this hungry group to the promised land of family forgiveness. Of course they're all so stubborn, it would be easier to part the Red Sea.
