TFR performances on select months (see The Full Rocky facebook page) rotated between Grand Rapids, RiverTown Crossings mall Grandville MI, and Lansing MI area Celebration! Cinema theaters. Theater ownership changed name from Loeks Theatres, Inc. to Studio C (The name is a homage to the former Studio 28 theatre). One performance 10/13/18 at Crossroads Celebration! Cinema Portage MI.
