The event location, Hamline University’s Anne Simley Theatre, has filled free tickets to capacity and satellite locations are being organized throughout the state. Interested parties should register for a remote ticket to watch a live stream at home or a satellite location. There’s a waitlist for Anne Simley Theatre where the event will also be televised in the lobby.
