Families in Princeton are invited to a special evening at the Evangelical Covenant Church on Saturday, September 6, 2025, at 7:30 PM. The church is transforming its parking lot at 24 North Main Street into an outdoor theater, showing the lighthearted, faith-based comedy “Selfie Dad.” As part of the 54th annual Bureau County Homestead Festival, attendees can look forward to enjoying complimentary root beer floats and popcorn throughout the night. Organizers say the event aims to bring the community together for fun and fellowship in a relaxed setting. The movie and refreshments are free, making this a budget-friendly way for friends and family to spend time together as summer winds down.
The 2020 film “Selfie Dad” brings humor and heart to the screen, following Ben Marcus, a father in the throes of a mid-life crisis, portrayed by stand-up comedian Michael Jr. The story centers on Ben’s quest for online fame as a social-media sensation, only for his life—and his family—to take a meaningful turn after engagement with the Bible. Supporting roles feature Chonda Pierce, James Denton, Karen Abercrombie, and Jamie Grace. The movie blends comedy with a faith-based message, offering audiences both laughs and inspiration as Ben’s journey unfolds.
