Alamo Drafthouse CEO Tim League sits closer than you do
Tim League, founder of the Alamo Drafthouse, was in town yesterday to cut the ribbon and reopen the chain’s KC outpost. Alamo Drafthouse Mainstreet invited various local dignitaries and media types to the 9 a.m. event, which included a short tour of the improved theater space. There was a pair of the customary oversized novelty scissors on hand, but League had a better idea. He brought a sword, then let a few of those dignitaries lop off some champagne-bottle tops, Napoleon-style.
There were already plenty of mimosas to go around. So many mimosas. So, yeah, it’s taken us awhile to get back to 1701 Main and remind y’all that the Alamo is back online. It’s back online. (Go. It’s pretty great.)
Seems like only yesterday we told you the cinema had temporarily closed its doors to make some changes. Well, they’re done, and the place looks sharp and has set a very busy calendar.
After the jump, League gives you some seating advice.
