This American Life In A Theater Near You

April 27th, 2008 Daryle Dickens Posted in Event |

I have to give a lot of credit to Ira Glass and This American Life for inspiring me to create ZAF622.com and ArtPalaver.com. I’ve been listening to the NPR radio show for years and I would jump at the chance to be an unpaid intern for the show. What I am trying to tell you is I am a big fan. I like the idea of talking to everyday people and hearing their story. And I hope one day to be able to do it half as good as Ira Glass.

That is why I am excited about This American Life Live! You see for one night and one night only Mr. Glass and company are going to be broadcasting live from New York to select theaters around the county. This from the web site:

On Thursday, May 1st acclaimed radio and television host Ira Glass will bring the wildly popular show This American Life to the big screen for a one-night only event. Glass debuts never-before-seen extraordinary, funny and true stories from everyday life, shows outtakes, and answers audience questions. This exclusive theatre event will be broadcast LIVE from New York via satellite to select movie theatres nationwide.

This one-night event features special guests and is presented in HD and Cinema Surround Sound.

And thankfully one of those select movie theatres is in Fort Collins. Cinemark on Timberline will be showing it at 6PM Thursday night. Tickets are already on sale and can be bought here.

Hope to see you there.
