The line was down the block for admission to the Edmonds Theater’s free showing of the The Way Thursday night. The re-released film includes a new segment with European travel expert Rick Steves discussing the joys of travel with father-son actors Martin Sheen and Emilio Estevez. Read more here.

  1. It would have been nice to see this but the information provided was not accurate. We were told that doors open at 6 but when we arrived at 5:45, the theatre was already full. The photos here are not people in line. These are folks who went down and were turned away due to the show being full and they (we) were figuring out what to do since we could not see the show.

    1. Not true, I am in the photo standing in line, I showed up two hours early and got a seat without a problem. Come early next time.

  2. Shame on you Edmonds Theater for not opening your doors at 6:oo as reported in My Edmonds News, for the showing of The Way. There were many disappointed people waiting in line before 6:oo that never got in the door. Who is to blame here you or My Edmonds for this misinformation?

  3. We were also there before 6:00, when the doors were supposed to open, and were very disappointed it was already full. We would have preferred to buy tickets so we would know ahead whether we had a spot or not.

    1. Oh hey look… people whining online about the free show they missed because they didn’t show up early enough. I’m glad all of your lives are so easy that this can register as tragic for you.

  4. People complaining because they didn’t show up early enough to get in to a free movie because they arrived at the “doors open” time instead of arriving *early* because the movie was FREE need to realize that you didn’t miss it because the theater or news screwed up, you missed it because you didn’t realize that there were more people interested who planned it better. If the doors opened early, there was still a long line of people waiting. You would have missed it anyway.

    If this ruined your day, count your blessings and don’t forget to put your chairs out early for the 4th of July parade.

    1. I’m afraid you missed the point Ms. Nichols. Also, I am not sure that everyone KNEW how popular this show was going to be. AND it did not ruin our day. We actually had a great evening!
      BTW, putting chairs along the sidewalks 1 or 2 days in advance of the parade so you can show up at the parade whenever you want and have a seat up front is not a very courteous or neighborly thing to do. Children, disabled persons, and the elderly are then deprived of being able to actually SEE the parade which to me is selfish and rude. The city should clamp down on this practice of hogging space. Maybe charge a dollar to place a chair along the route after 9:00 PM the night before and allow disabled or elderly persons to set up during the same time frame for free with proof of age or with an ADA parking pass?

      1. Ok off topic a bit but it is well known that you can put chairs out for the parade at 6 pm the night before. If you didn’t know that now you do. If you’re concerned about the disabled and elderly getting a spot, I suggest you help them by putting chairs out for them instead of complaining about the system

    2. Catherine Nichols, sounds like you are screwed up, not theater or news! Have respect for people!
