SUMMARY:Pride Month Special Event: Screening & Reception at West Newton Cinema\, June 21
DESCRIPTION:Screening of THE ADVENTURES OF PRISCILLA\, QUEEN OF THE DESERT  \n \n  \nResplendent in flamboyant ball gowns\, looking down over the vast red Australian desert: for three showgirls (Terence Stamp\, Hugo Weaving\, and Guy Pearce) it was the dream of a lifetime\, a four week cabaret engagement in Alice Springs. The problem is simply getting there intact\, along with their battered\, pink tour bus\, Priscilla\, Queen of the Desert. It’s not easy being a drag queen in the outback! With over-the-top\, Academy Award-winning costume design and a fabulous soundtrack of camp classics including Gloria Gaynor’s “I Will Survive” and ABBA’s “Mamma Mia\,” THE ADVENTURES OF PRISCILLA\, QUEEN OF THE DESERT is a hilarious\, vivacious comedy that celebrates community. \n\n \nAFTER THE SCREENING\n\nGuests are invited to stay for a reception featuring light refreshments\, conversation\, and an opportunity to celebrate the stories\, experiences\, and contributions of LGBTQ+ people across generations. Whether you’re attending with friends or coming to meet new people\, this afternoon offers a welcoming space to reflect on the film\, share perspectives\, and build meaningful connections. We look forward to celebrating Pride with you through film\, fellowship\, and community. Reception immediately follows the movie screening. All are welcome!\n\nCo-sponsored by Waltham Pride and OutstandingLife\, in partnership with West Newton Cinema. \nTicket sales open https://www.westnewtoncinema.com/movie/the-adventures-of-priscilla-queen-of-the-desert

SUMMARY:Gay Art History: Then and Now\, June 29
DESCRIPTION:Art tells us so much about the person who created it and the cultural context that shaped them. From frescos to comic books\, from marble sculptures to performance art\, there are threads of queerness and gender nonconformity woven into art history as far back as art itself has existed. Art historian and LGBTQ+ Newton member Molly McGowan will introduce pivotal pieces of LGBTQ+ art history spanning countries and centuries. If you have a personal favorite piece or artist\, come prepared to share! \nJoin us on Monday\, June 29 from 6:00 – 7:30pm at the Newton Free Library\, Meeting Room B (first floor\, across from Druker Auditorium). This event is in partnership with the Newton Free Library.
