To keep their culture and community intact, the 360 residents must relocate their entire village to solid ground across the river while facing the indifference of a federal government that refuses to recognize climate change. Directed by Andrew Burton, Michael Kirby Smith.

Waitress: The Musical
On-Screen
Friday, February 21, 2025, 7 pm
Experience the hit Broadway musical on the big screen at LPCA with a helping of famous Noon Mark pie!
This musical film is the live stage recording of Waitress: The Musical, featuring composer-lyricist Sara Bareilles as Jenna Hunterson, a waitress and expert pie maker stuck in a small town and a loveless marriage. When a baking contest in a nearby county offers her a chance at escape, Jenna fights to reclaim a long-forgotten part of herself.
Through the support of her fellow waitresses and an unexpected romance, Jenna begins to find the courage to take a long-abandoned dream off the shelf. Waitress celebrates the power of friendship, dreams, the family we choose and the beauty of a well-baked pie.
We’re very excited to partner with the Noon Mark Burger & Pie Joint, who’ll be sweetening the deal with free slices of pie before the film and whole pies available for purchase (cash only)!
