A venue regularly used to host beauty pageants is now being used as a filming location for a Jennifer Aniston comedy about a beauty pageant.
The Cobb County Civic Center and adjacent Jennie T. Anderson Theatre is the shooting location of “Dumplin’,” a movie about a plus-size teenager who enters a pageant to win over a boy she likes. The movie is based on a 2015 novel written by Julie Murphy and is set to release in 2018, according to Internet Movie Database.
