“Pitch Perfect,” which stars Anna Kendrick and Brittany Snow, will be shown at 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. on March 8 at Toco Hill-Avis G. Williams Library in Decatur.
The 2012 film, which is rated PG-13, follows Beca (played by Kendrick), a freshman at Barden University who is cajoled into joining the Bellas, her school’s all-girls singing group.
