When their new guardians forbid Andi and her younger brother, Bruce to have a pet, have to find a new home for their dog, Friday.

When barking dogs make the neighbors suspicious, Andi and Bruce use every invention they have to keep their secret.
Benjamin Button was born old. The doctors gave him little time to live, but live he did, growing younger by the day. His mother died during his birth and his father abandoned him, leaving him to be raised by Queenie, a black woman and caretaker in an old folks home.
Daisy's grandmother lived at the home, and so there Benjamin and Daisy met. Over the years they remained in contact, until in their 40s they reconnect as their ages finally match. But Benjamin continued to grow younger, as Daisy grew older.
The story is told through the eyes of Daisy, as her daughter reads aloud her diary as Daisy lies on her deathbed.
Please note that due to its length, our showtimes have changed drastically for the presentation of The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.
