Anyone familiar with this guy? A recluse who wrote/illustrated a 15000 page book. It was found after he died I guess. The paintings are beautiful. A very interesting story....

I'm not sure Mike... I haven't called the theatre. I hope so. It is going to be rad. I heard it has a lot of animation in it taken from Darger's book.
