Saving Sharks

We just watched a really powerful documentary about sharks called Shark Water. I'd like to show it for you all at North Star as soon as possible, but I'm having trouble finding a time. The schedule is tight! Would any of you come in for an evening show, or stay late, maybe start it at 3 or 4?
