5/4/2019 STAR WARS Saga at AFI Silver Theatre

XWingKC (Joy Hargraves) · Event starting Sat May 04, 2019 1:00 pm for 2 days

Event Name
STAR WARS Saga at AFI Silver Theatre

Event Description
I'm the Director of Marketing and Events at AFI Silver Theatre in Downtown Silver Spring. We're the non-profit arthouse theater of the American Film Institute. I've previously worked with members of the Old Line Garrison, and R2-D2 Builders' Club to troop STAR WARS screening of THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK at AFI. We've always had some members of the Terrapin Base come as well. It’s always really special for the guests, and everyone loves posing for pictures with the characters.

I’m writing because we are doing screenings of eight films in the Star Wars Saga from May 3 – 7, including three screenings on May the 4th. I’ve reached out via the online events form, but haven’t heard back from anyone yet. I’m hoping you can assist getting folks to troop at least one of the shows that weekend, preferably at the screenings on May 4. Here’s the schedule for both Saturday and Sunday:

Saturday, May 4

STAR WARS: EPISODE IV – A NEW HOPE
Sat, May 4, 2:30 p.m.

STAR WARS: EPISODE V – THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK
Sat, May 4, 5:30 p.m.

STAR WARS: EPISODE VI – RETURN OF THE JEDI
Sat, May 4, 8:30 p.m.

Sunday, May 5

STAR WARS: EPISODE VII – THE FORCE AWAKENS
Sun, May 5, 11:00 a.m.

STAR WARS: EPISODE VIII – THE LAST JEDI
Sun, May 5, 2:00 p.m.

STAR WARS: EPISODE IV – A NEW HOPE
Sun, May 5, 5:30 p.m.

STAR WARS: EPISODE V – THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK
Sun, May 5, 8:30 p.m.

Let me know if this is something you can consider! I’d be happy to provide the crew with a couple complimentary tickets, popcorn and soda.

Please let me know if you have any questions! I look forward to hearing from someone!

This is right around the corner from our apartment! If we don't wind up heading to New York to see Coulter's mom get an award that weekend, we will probably be there. We should be able to update you within the week.

We're going to New York for Coulter's mom's award after all, so we won't be able to help with this.

That event was fun. I hope to come to AFI next year to see 7 8 9 in one day. They are trying to get eps 9 for December, but they said it is a long shot. Plus they are in competition with Regal across the street.

I got in touch with a Press person from Siliver Spring. He will hopefully send me pics of the event.

I posted a few photos on the Terrapin FB page.

I hope to come next year.
