Tonight, This American Life will transmit a live stage show via satellite to more than 400 movie theaters across the nation, including the AMC Mesquite 30 and AMC Northpark 15.
Tickets are $20. It looks like NorthPark might be sold out, but if you're quick with a mouse click and want to attend the Mesquite screening, you may still be able to snag tickets here.
Algenis Perez Soto was plucked from obscurity to star in the indie film Sugar because his own life closely resembled his character's. Both grew up in the Dominican Republic, both dreamed of playing baseball in the U.S., and both eventually discovered that realizing the dream was more difficult than it seemed.
But if the similarities in backstory put Soto on the field, the subtle brilliance of the first-time actor's performance is his perfect game.
We exchanged e-mails with Soto -- who's still in the process of mastering English -- in advance of Sugar's opening Friday at the Dallas Angelika.
A sneak peak at movies opening this week, based solely on their commercials.

Our dear Gordon Keith talked about it this morning on The Ticket. Coincidentally, he wrote his Quick column on the same blog-commenting topic before this week's comments blitz began. In it, he paints the Blog Commenting Nation bickering while Armageddon approaches. Interesting stuff. Read it here.
