If Friday and Saturday ticket sales run high in these five cities, the release may expand to 200 cities nationwide. Starring Emmy Award-winner Joe Pantoliano and Academy Award-winner Marcia Gay Harden, CANVAS is the story of a family's struggle with schizophrenia. It educates as well as entertains. It will build awareness about mental illness and strike a blow against stigma--but only if enough people see it. In order for the movie to reach a nationwide audience, please take action to help: * Spread the word! Please forward this email now with a personal message to family and friends in the cities below--and friends elsewhere. * Buy tickets on-line early each week. You don't even have to live in the opening cities. Tickets make great gifts or donations.
