The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything
Come join us for a family movie and pot luck dinner as we watch The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything. Bring a Friend.
In this animated film, Elliot, Sedgewick and George are working as the clean-up crew at the Pieces of Ate Dinner Theatre that features a show about pirates which they hope-beyond-hope to star in some day. But with Elliot’s timid nature, Sedgewick’s laziness, and George’s issues of self-confidence, the trio will not even reach for their dreams.
But things change when they receive a note seeking help that sets the wheels in motion for them to stop being couch potatoes and become the people that are called to be.
