Little Miss Sunshine

By William Finn and James Lapine

Directed by Meghan Randolph

"You can pick a shampoo, you can pick who you screw, but you can't pick your family."

The Hoover family is having some issues. Dad’s a struggling entrepreneur. Mom’s trying to pay the bills, Uncle Frank has lost his lover and his job, Grandpa got kicked out of the retirement home. And teenage Dwayne hasn’t spoken in three months. But when quirky, 8-year-old Olive is a finalist in the Little Miss Sunshine beauty pageant, they attempt to put their troubles aside, climbing into a dilapidated van and driving cross country to get her to the competition. Based on the 2006 Academy Award-winning film, Little Miss Sunshine is a hilarious, heartfelt tale about self-acceptance, true beauty, and what it means to be a winner.
