Join us on the first Thursday of the month for Thursday Theater! We'll be showing two hit films that take place around the holidays on the big screen in the McAllaster Room. Feel free to bring a small snack or drink if you would like.
First up at 2:00, is Small Things Like These. Oscar® winner Cillian Murphy delivers a stunning performance as devoted father Bill Furlong in this film based on the best-selling novel of the same name by Claire Keegan. While working as a coal merchant to support his family, he discovers disturbing secrets kept by the local convent and uncovers truths of his own forcing him to confront his past and the complicit silence of a small Irish town controlled by the Catholic Church. (Rated PG-13. Run Time: 1h 38m)
Then at 6:00, The Best Christmas Pageant Ever is based on the beloved book by Barbara Robinson. The Hardmans are absolutely the worst kids in the history of the world. They lie, they steal, they bully... and now they've hijacked the town Christmas pageant. It follows six siblings who sneak into church searching for snacks and walk away with the lead roles in the town pageant. Grace is directing the performance for the very first time; she and her daughter Beth and husband Bob are in over their heads, especially against a town that wants them to kick the Hardmans out. But the play's mischievous stars might unwittingly teach a community the true meaning of Christmas. (Rated PG. Run time: 1h 39m)
