Somehow or another, we're already creeping up on March. The year is flying by, temperatures are rising and summer is on the way - and you know what that means: it's time to announce the first round of 2018 Rolling Roadshow events, organized and executed by our friends at the Alamo Drafthouse.
Many more exciting get-togethers and screenings are being planned even as we speak (heads up, Los Angeles: we'll be seeing you before this year is through), but for now, take a look at the events that've been announced thus far, helpfully indexed for you (with ticketing links!) below.
THE SANDLOT 25th Anniversary at a Sandlot
March 3rd • The Long Time • 5707 Dunlap Road North • Austin, TX 78725
"It's no joke: The Sandlot first hit theaters 25 years ago this weekend, on April 1, 1993. To celebrate, we're hosting an outdoor screening at Austin's own (and only) actual sandlot venue, The Long Time, and we're bringing in all sorts of extra fun to make it an experience like no other."
