Watch a movie - send Minneapolis kids to Space Camp
Galaxy Quest - 1/30 - 7:00pm Riverview Theater
For just $5, you can see a movie AND help 50 Mpls public school kids get to space camp.
The preparatory classes as well as the trip to the camp in Alabama this May promise to be a terrific learning opportunity and a wonderful experience for the kids.
I heard about this through the grapevine - there’s nothing on the Riverview website about it yet. BUT! Everyone should come out to see a fun film and help raise money to send these kids to Space Camp. I myself attended the Space Academy (camp for older students) when I was a kid and it was one of the highlights of my childhood. These kids will have lifelong memories of their experience, so please come out to the Riv!

David Howard, who wrote Galaxy Quest was a friend of mine and fellow graduate school student at the University of Utah. He was a playwright, I was a director, and I had the great fortune to direct some of his work. Galaxy Quest is a terrific film and will appeal to anyone who’s a fan of sci-fi and/or Star Trek. It’s great to see that it’s being used for such a worthwhile endeavor.
