# Event Details - **Event Name**: JCC Presents: Drop Dead Gorgeous (Double Feature) - **Event Start and End Date**: Sun, 09 Aug, 2026 at 04:00 pm – Sun, 09 Aug, 2026 at 08:00 pm - **Event Description**: Join us on Sunday, August 9th for an evening that feels unmistakably Jackalope Cult Cinema. This month, we’re honored to partner up with Wyoming Humanities in presenting “Before Wyoming: The West in 1776”– a film that expands the story of 1776 beyond the East, revealing the overlooked history of the Northern Rockies and Great Plains. In this feature, we'll explore thriving Indigenous nations, early European influence, and the changing world of the West through historians, Native voices, artifacts, and the perspectives of young people today. We're grateful for the opportunity to showcase such a unique film thanks to Wyoming Humanities and the "By the People: Conversations Beyond 250" initiative. ✨ Then... ✨ Fluff your hair. Polish your tiara. Adjust your sash. It’s pageant time. For our second feature, we’ll be screening the cult classic Drop Dead Gorgeous (1999), one of the sharpest, funniest, and most delightfully twisted comedies to come out of the late ‘90s. Set in the fiercely competitive world of small-town Minnesota beauty pageants, it’s packed with unforgettable performances, endlessly quotable one-liners, and enough dark humor to make you wonder how this movie ever got made. Fair warning: it is very much a product of its era, with some language and humor that reflects the late ‘90s, but beneath all of that is a brilliantly crafted satire that has earned every bit of its cult-classic status. At Jackalope Cult Cinema, we love stories that spark conversations long after the credits roll. Sometimes that means discovering a new piece of Wyoming history. Sometimes it means laughing until your sides hurt at the wonderfully absurd. This month, you get both. ?️ Sunday, August 9th ? Gryphon Theatre ⏰ Doors: 4 PM | Showtime: 4:30 PM ?️ $5 Suggested Donation Costume Contest Theme: Pageant Queen Come dressed as the pageant queen you’ve always wanted to be. Glamorous, goofy, glamorous AND goofy, we want to see your most fabulous interpretation. Crowns, sashes, hairspray, sequins... the more personality, the better. Gather your fellow weirdos, movie lovers, history buffs, and cult cinema devotees, and join us for another unforgettable evening. See you at the theater! ------------------ “Before Wyoming: The West in 1776” will be presented by Wyoming Humanities.
