Radio just isn't big enough for Ira Glass, who has won two Emmys for the televised version of his 19-year-old radio show. The Norman Rockwell of hipsterdom steps up to the big screen tonight for a live on-screen broadcast of This American Life, satellite-beamed to 400 movie theaters nationwide. Six area theaters, including Cinemark Palace on the Plaza (500 Nichols Road, 816-756-5877), will project the broadcast at 7 p.m. Find the other local showings and ticket prices at thislife.org. Contributors to this episode, which as usual will center on a theme, include regulars such as Dan Savage, David Rakoff and Starlee Kine, plus music courtesy of Buffy the Vampire Slayer creator Joss Whedon.
