Cineplex Entertainment and BY Experience are excited to bring WBEZ Chicago's hit radio show This American Life back to select movie theaters nationwide on Thursday, May 10. Host Ira Glass and popular contributors present stories, plus things you could never do on the radio - including dance, animation, video and more.

Attendees will be able to play along with OK Go on a special, free mobile app created for the event!
Updated showtimes are available for online ticket purchase starting Tuesday evenings for the upcoming playweek (Friday – Thursday).
