🎬 Napoleon Dynamite Night in Hattiesburg!

Last night we got to see Napoleon Dynamite live at the Saenger Theater — and it was awesome.

Fans got to hear from the actors behind some of the most iconic characters:

👓 Jon Heder — Napoleon Dynamite
🗳 Efren Ramirez — Pedro
🏈 Jon Gries — Uncle Rico

They shared behind-the-scenes stories, talked about making the movie, and had the whole crowd laughing all night.

It was great seeing the Saenger Theater packed with people who still love this classic.
