This is a pie story about A Ghost Story. The film from director David Lowery features Casey Affleck as a ghost (complete with the white sheet and eye holes) and Rooney Mara as a grieving wife. It's a meditation on loss, memory, and time, and has been getting fantastic advance reviews. 

The Little Cookout on July 30

While watching a movie and utilizing The Little's air-conditioning are great summer activities, from time to time we like to embrace other warm weather traditions.

That's why we're happy to tell you about
The Little's 2nd 'Member' Cookout!
 
We'll be grilling and selling hot dogs, hamburgers, along with vegetarian options from 2 p/m. to 4 p.m. (or the grilled goods are gone) on Sunday, July 30. This will be a rain or shine event, and will take place on our patio directly outside the theater 2-5 entrance.
