Winning and losing in Toledo: Twist of Faith strikes back

Toledo Blade columnist Russ Lemmon reports that about 700 people went to seeTwist of Faith at the a three-night, one-show-per-night stand at the University of Toledo after the documentary about alleged sexual abuses by a local priest wasn't booked by commercial venues. "At the Maumee Indoor Theater, Star Wars: Episode III — Revenge of the Sith attracted 687 for its 14-day run in August. The Star Wars film ranks No. 7 on the theater's list of top box-office draws this year. Raise your hand if you're still buying the "business decision" reason for the theater rejecting a week-long screening of Twist of Faith." (The U of T grossed over $5,000 from the booking.)
