Tim Allen to premiere 'Toy Story 4' in Suttons Bay

LEELANAU COUNTY, Mich., (WPBN/WGTU) -- A Michigan native actor and comedian is coming to northern Michigan.

On June 20, Tim Allen will be at the Bay Community Theatre in Suttons Bay for a special, pre-release premiere of Toy Story 4.

Allen is the voice of Buzz Lightyear in the animated feature film which opens nationally a day later on June 21.

“We are thrilled Tim Allen is supporting The Bay Community Theatre with this special movie event. Tim loves northern Michigan and understands the great value our local theatre provides to the community,” says Rick Andrews, Board President of the Bay Community Theatre.

According to the Bay Community Theatre, Allen agreed to the special event in Suttons Bay to show support for the local theatre which was set to close last year until a group of concerned citizens jumped in to save it.

The Bay Community Theatre is now a non-profit organization supported by volunteers, a small paid staff, and financial help from individuals and local businesses.

The special movie event will begin at 6 p.m. on June 20.

Tim Allen will introduce Toy Story 4, take questions from the audience and have some special surprises to share.

Tickets for the event are $10 and are available online.
