Dear Michael,

Thanks to you, our fans and supporters, "What's the Matter with Kansas?" is starting to roll out to cities across the country. OK, a great review from Roger Ebert didn't hurt. In fact, the movie's been drawing raves wherever it appears - and sparking lively discussions as well.

The long-awaited Kansas premiere! Beginning on Friday, December 11, 2009, it'll play for an entire week at the historic Liberty Hall, 644 Massachusetts Street in Lawrence.
