The event, sponsored by both BBC and Xfinity by Comcast, is intended to help celebrate the new series and the new season, said Rebecca Stanze, associate director of the Buskirk-Chumley.
She said this event is the only free event of its kind in the country.
BBC helped select the location in part because IU’s students will be returning throughout the week for the start of classes.
“BBC approached us as a good community,” Stanze said.
Along with the viewing set to begin at 7 p.m., the doors will open at 6 p.m. to a lobby filled with cardboard cutouts of characters and photo backdrops.
“We seat 630, and we’re anticipating a full house,” Stanze said about the ?theater.
