The Gene Siskel Film Center has invited The Homestretch back for a second week of screenings in November!

Below are the individual dates and times. Please feel free to post them on your websites or social media. Let's keep the buzz alive about youth homelessness and it’s our hope that publicity around the film at Siskel will provide you with another opportunity to promote youth homelessness prevention month.

Siskel has agreed to give us a Chicago Partner Code which would allow anyone you invite personally to the $7.00 group discount ticket rate.

You are welcome to use this in personal invitations or publicize to your networks. As this is a Special Code, Siskel has asked that we not publicize this to general public, so it’s not something we can send out to a wider audience on social media.

PLEASE NOTE...this discount code will only work for tickets purchased in-person at the box office. When purchasing, use "CCH” at the box office.

Show dates in November are as follows:

Fri, Nov 21st at 8:00pm
Sat, Nov 22nd at 5:45pm
Sun, Nov 23rd at 3:00pm
Sun, Nov 23rd at 5:15pm
Mon, Nov 24th at 6:00pm

Tue, Nov 25th at 8:00pm

Wed, Nov 26th at 7:45pm

Thank you for your support in bringing focus to this second set of screening dates. If you have any questions about the November Siskel run, please contact Dawn. And not sure if you saw the New City “Best Of 2014” article, but we wanted to thank you all for the great effort in bringing this issue to greater light in Chicago.
