2:00 • Cabaret • 1972
Sally Bowles is a lot of fun… and might have a drinking problem. At her boarding house in 1930s Berlin she meets a shy bi guy—an English teacher—and together they consume the excesses of the Kit Kat Club where she works, and the wealthy men she attracts… all while the Nazi regime is closing in around their necks.
Starring Liza Minelli, Joel Grey, Michael York
Directed by Bob Fosse

4:15 • Victor/Victoria • 1982
It’s Paris during the depression, and a talented soprano can’t get a job singing for her supper… until her gay bestie gets the idea to make her over as a female impersonator. This new drag act could be the toast of the town… if they can succeed in passing her off as a gent between performances. When American mobster James Garner becomes enamored, he questions his sexuality and more hilarity ensues.
Starring Julie Andrews, Robert Preston, Lesley Ann Warren
Directed by Blake Edwards

7:00 • Kiss of the Spider Woman • 2025
A sissy window-dresser (probably trans) and a cis-het political revolutionary are an odd pairing to share a prison cell. It’s Argentina during the cold-war dictatorship of Jorge Videla, a brutal era known as the “Dirty War.” To escape the horrors, the queer prisoner escapes into fantasies, telling his cellmate glamorous stories of a cinematic femme-fatale.
Based on the 1976 novel and 1985 non-musical film of the same name, the Broadway musical raked in seven statues at the 1993 Tony awards.
Starring Jennifer Lopez, Diego Luna, Tonatiuh
Directed by Bill Condon
