Rise: the Movie

[skatingfan5]

Thanks for the list of theatres, Sylvia. I'm glad to see that my one of the theatres in my town will be showing this movie -- it's one of only six in the state outside of the Chicago area to be screening Rise.

I have a few options... but I also have a Girl Scout cookie delivery that's probably on that day....

I'm surprised there's only one showing in winter sports mecca Wisconsin, and that it's in Kenosha (right over the border from IL). Maybe they'll add some more?

I'm surprised it's showing anywhere near me. I expected to have to go to downtown LA to see it! Maybe I should go to LA LIVE anyway. Worlds 2009 memories!

I am thrilled that one of the Cincinnati theatres is only about twenty minutes away from my house! I wasn't sure if I would get to see the movie in a theatre or not.

I wasn't expecting a theater in Ventura to show it, but one theater is doing so!

[AragornElessar]

I am so envious of all of you getting to see this.

Thanks for the listing of the theatres showing this. I posted a thread about RISE over at the Other Movies forum of the LOTR MB I belong to and it's gotten quite a bit of interest. They'll all be interested to find out if it's showing anywhere near them.

FSU meet-up!

Any idea how much the tickets cost? Are the seats reserved or general admission? I'd like to put together a group to go locally, but when I click the Ticket Info link I get a list of theaters near my zip code, and not any price information.

Sylvia posted upthread that there is a "suggested" cost of $15/ticket, but that theatres will be able to set their own prices, with a portion going to the USFS's Memorial Fund. As to whether reserved or general admission, that might also depend on the individual theatres.

Thank you, Sylvia!!! I will recruit our synchro teams to go see it. . . Maybe it'll inspire us for the weekend competition that follows

I wonder if they will do some type of "50th Anniversary" memorial tribute at the next world championships ?

Thank you, Sylvia! the 17th is a Thursday, isn't it? Hope I can go, especially considering it's playing at my local movie theater.

Dunno, but the whole 1961 team is being inducted into the USFS Hall of Fame in Greensboro.

So weird that one of the theaters in Michigan (Oxford) is a dinky theater in a small town. There are huge theater complexes in suburban Detroit, and they choose Oxford. Great for me living close, but a weird choice.

[skatemommy]

I just purchased my tickets. Thanks Sylvia

[michiruwater]

Oh yay, I'd hoped it would be showing in Ypsilanti Wonderful.

[danceronice]

Wow, there is a showing in South Bend, or near enough!

I saw commercials for this during the Skate America telecast I sooo want to go see it!! Skating, history and a documentary in one? I'm sold. Bad thing is that our lease is up in Feb(yea!! Goodbye Vegas) and we are either moving back to Pasadena or to Orlando. As long as we leave Vegas I'm happy, but I don't know where to buytickets for. Hopefully they will continue to sell tickets for the showings for awhile. If they sell out whichever place we go, buying a DVD might be the only way for me to see this.

I can't believe there's a showing in Concord, NC (about half hour from me). I suppose I'll be there all alone because I don't know anyone who watches figure skating in my area. But who cares? The film looks fascinating!
