Red State Premiere in Springfield

Kevin Smith is touring his new movie, Red State & will be in Springfield, Kuss Auditorium March 14.
The movie is a horror film that starts out like so many with a group of teenagers venturing into the unknown. Then, instead of Leather Face or Captain Spaulding, they run into a family / church group modeled after the Phelps family's Westboro Baptist Church.
Reviews are mixed. Westboro protested the films debut at the Sundance Film Festival.
The tour consists of 13 cities including Boston, Atlanta, Chicago and New Orleans. In 2008, when much of Ohio went blue, Springfied's Clark County went decidedly red and Ohio was recently ranked near the bottom of most tolerant states. Could this be the reason for Smith's visit?
