Ira Glass doesn’t just have a face for radio.

For one night only, the host of “This American Life” will broadcast his popular public radio show into movie theaters, including Lynnwood’s Alderwood 7.

“This American Life — Live!” will screen at 8 p.m. April 23 at the Alderwood 7, 3501 184th St. SW, Lynnwood. Tickets are $20.

Like the radio show, the two-hour big screen event will have a theme, “Return to the Scene of the Crime,” and feature guests, including the Stranger’s sex columnist, Dan Savage, and “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” creator Joss Whedon.
