The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert
The Beverly Theater

The Beverly Theater screens the 1994 cult classic that turned a road trip across the Australian Outback into one of cinema's most joyful celebrations of self-expression and found family. The film follows two drag queens and a transgender woman traveling in their lavender tour bus named Priscilla, bringing their spectacular show to remote desert towns while navigating personal journeys of acceptance and belonging. Its dazzling costume design—including that iconic silver platform shoe—won an Academy Award, and the soundtrack pulses with disco classics that had audiences singing along from the moment it premiered.

The Beverly Theater's intimate 150-seat setup makes this screening feel less like watching a movie and more like being part of something communal. The venue's sharp acoustics bring out every note of the film's legendary musical numbers, from ABBA to Gloria Gaynor, while the downtown Arts District setting mirrors the film's own themes of creative freedom and celebrating difference. It's the kind of place where laughter and cheers during the best scenes feel natural, not disruptive.
