HBO Max’s medical drama The Pitt became one of last year’s breakout hits for the streaming service. It engaged audiences in ways no medical-themed show had in years. The show, which stars Noah Wyle, follows doctors and other healthcare workers at the Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Center over the course of one shift. The Pitt mania is so high, that, according to Variety, HBO Max is partnering with Alamo Drafthouse for advance screenings of the season two finale. The screenings will take place on April 13 at ten different Alamo Drafthouse locations nationwide. This is just three days before the season finale episode drops on April 16.
Alamo Drafthouse is promoting these special screenings of The Pitt as “healthcare appreciation events.” The idea behind this promotion is to encourage current and former healthcare workers to attend the screenings. Although, maybe they’re the last people who want to revisit this kind of high-stress trauma in their off-hours. But we digress. In any event, tickets for these special screenings of The Pitt finale are available to all. Although admission to the screening is free, you can now reserve theater seats on the Alamo Drafthouse website. All you need is the purchase of a $10 concession voucher.
So which Alamo Drafthouse theaters will have this special screening of The Pitt finale? We actually have a complete list. Among the participating Alamo Drafthouse theaters are New York City’s Brooklyn location; the Seaport location in Boston; Raleigh, N.C.; Naples, Fla.; the Cedars location in Dallas, and the Mueller location in Austin. Also showing these screenings are the Westminster location in Denver; the Mountain View location in San Francisco, the Woodbury location in Twin Cities, Minn., and the downtown location in Los Angeles. Hopefully, if you’re a super fan of The Pitt, one of these theaters is at a location that’s near you.
