The word about the screening of the film “Letters to Jackie” on Thursday, November 14, at the Winspear had just been out less than 24 hours when 1,283 tickets were already reserved. And that was before the e-blast hit eboxes! Since the sellout number is 1,500, organizers consider the 7:30 p.m. show to be officially sold out.
But what to do about all the folks who wanted to see the 90-minute movie presented by the AT&T Performing Arts Center?
How about adding another showing of the film at 10 p.m.? According to AT&T Performing Arts Center VP of External Affair Chris Heinbaugh, “This will allow time for the Q&A after, for the garage to empty and for the hall to be quickly cleaned between programs.”
As soon as all the deets are nailed down and tickets are available, we’ll let you know.
By the way, among the actors taking part in the reading of the letters that were sent to the late First Lady following her husband’s death were Chris Cooper, Viola Davis, Kirsten Dunst, Anne Hathaway, Frances McDormand and Betty White.
