The long-awaited theatrical release of the Lyme documentary Under Our Skin is almost here. The film opens at New York's IFC Center on June 19 and at Beverly Hill's Laemmle Music Hall Theater on June 26. Although other cities are on the list, these first two are of primary importance. How the film does in New York and Los Angeles will dictate how widely it will be picked up nationwide. Big crowds on the opening weekends in these two cities will prompt more and more theaters across the country to book the film.

She responds promptly and is (to my understanding) the contact person for screenings of the film. Based on my contact with her, the "big" theaters like UA won't work....they need to show the film in independent theaters.
Hopefully that will change and the film will be shown in "big" theaters. But for the time being, do your research and email her.

I have done so.
Buying tickets on line if you cannot attend or live in an area where the film is not being show will accomplish the same thing.
They are looking at ticket sales not the amount of bodies in the theater.
Everyone please try to buy a ticket or two. It will make a big difference.
