"I had a chance to host this event at Bonnaroo and at the New York Comic Con this year," said Henri Mazza, founder of The Action Pack, "and the experience of watching 600 R. Kelly fans come together as one force to react to the crazy plot twists, sing along to the best lyrics, and wave spatulas in the air along with Rosy the Nosy Neighbor gave me hope that one day the music of R. Kelly will be powerful enough to bring the entire world together in peace. Also, it was just an insane amount of fun."

Currently there are screenings booked in theaters in Atlanta, Austin, Houston, Kansas City, Los Angeles, San Antonio, Seattle, Tucson, and Winchester, VA. A complete list of theaters and screening events follows, but theaters in other markets who want to bring the TRAPPED IN THE CLOSET SING-ALONG to their venue can still book the event directly through The Action Pack.Brand-new chapters of R.Kelly's bold hip-hopera, Trapped in the Closet, premieres Friday, November 23 at 9:00pm ET/PT only on IFC.
