Paris is Burning
June 18th @ KARMA
Paris Is Burning is a landmark documentary that offers an intimate look at New York City’s 1980s ballroom scene, where Black and Latino LGBTQ+ communities created dazzling worlds of performance, fashion, family, and self-expression. Through unforgettable interviews and vibrant ball culture footage, the film explores identity, chosen family, race, class, and the pursuit of joy in the face of exclusion.
Doors open at 5, events start at 7.
Hedwig and the Angry Inch (Tenative)
July 21st @ KARMA
Hedwig and the Angry Inch is a bold, funny, and emotionally raw rock musical about Hedwig, a genderqueer East German singer chasing fame, love, and a stolen musical legacy across America. Through electrifying songs and biting humor, the film explores identity, heartbreak, reinvention, and the search for wholeness.
