The cast of the highly anticipated first film in the “Hunger Games” series will be meeting fans at University Village in Seattle on Saturday from 2:00 to 3:30 p.m.
The principal cast members, Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson, and Liam Hemsworth will appear at the Microsoft Store as part of a movie mall tour for the films that have been adapted from Suzanne Collins’ hugely popular trilogy of novels.
Event organizers are discouraging camp-outs by teens excited to meet the stars. “No overnights are permitted,” says the U Village event description.
Event coordinator Leah Bledsoe says fans can begin lining up at 7 a.m. on Saturday.
“The first 100 people in line are getting wristbands to actually meet the cast members and get a signed poster from them,” says Bledsoe.
There will also be a free public Q&A session with the actors beginning at 3:30 p.m. in the parking lot outside of the Microsoft Store.
“It’s going to be a fun chance for people to meet the stars,” says Bledsoe. “Attendance and excitement has been huge in all of the other cities, so we’re expecting a big, excited, enthusiastic crowd.”
