In this remake of the classic French farce "La Cage aux Folles," engaged couple Val Goldman (Dan Futterman) and Barbara Keeley (Calista Flockhart) shakily introduce their future in-laws. Val's father, Armand (Robin Williams), a gay Miami drag club owner, pretends to be straight and attempts to hide his relationship with Albert (Nathan Lane), his life partner and the club's flamboyant star attraction, so as to please Barbara's father, controversial Republican Sen. Kevin Keeley (Gene Hackman)—and dupe their landlord, Mr. Roper (Norman Fell).

Join us before the movie for a burlesque/drag performance, hosted by Queenie Von Curves!

Known as the Rubenesque Royale of Burlesque, Queenie von Curves is producer of Bare Book Club Mpls, Divas and Drag with An Opera Theater, 2 Dykes Walk into a Bar with Dick von Dyke, and Dr. Sketchy's Mpls. A lifelong Queer artist, having earned a BFA in theatre performance, performed as a company member of Ballet of the Dolls, worked as a costume designer and in theater/event management, Queenie has always strived to promote joy and community through the arts. With her unorthodox style of striptease, cheeky sensuality, and clever costuming, it's no wonder the Quintessence of Curves and Quirk has been entertaining audiences across the country, celebrating her 15th year!
