We just saw her in the Peaches Christ movie “All About Evil” on Saturday, and now Ms Lyonne is back on a Seattle screen for a 7pm presentation of the 1999 cult comedy hit…co-hosted by the fine folks at Three Dollar Cinema. Check it out!
It’s all part of a new monthly collaboration between Central Cinema and Three Dollar Bill that will feature films celebrating the history of queer cinema. And, “But I’m a Cheerleader” is a good film to start with…this fan favorite didn’t earn much respect from traditional critics on its original release but has since become a staple of the Classic Queer Film Canon due to it’s funny, snarky script, vivid production design and witty performances from the cast. The story of a cheerleader mistakenly sent to a gay conversion camp by her conservative family who soon discovers that she IS indeed a lesbian, this satirical romp also stars such iconic Camp actors as Mink Stole, Bud Court and RuPaul. Tickets are $6 in advance and $8 day of show with discounts for Three Dollar Bill members. Check it out!
