    For Kansans, it looks like you have opportunities to see this if you are in or near Manhattan, Topeka, and the Kansas City Metro area. I would have guessed that theaters in Lawrence and Wichita would show it, but that doesn’t appear to be the case.

    If you are in Pittsburg, Joplin, MO is a location. But it looks like anyone else may have a little traveling.
