Movie Night Wednesdays: Pieces of April
Before Tom Cruise but after Dawnson's Creek , Katie Holmes was April, a wayward "first pancake" young adult setting out to create Thanksgiving dinner for her very skeptical family. Heartfelt and humorous, Pieces of April is an indie depiction of family, the holidays, and how some people just weren't meant to be cooks. The movie screening starts at 6 p.m. on Wednesday, November 26, at Burton Barr Central Library. For more information, visit www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org.
