The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert in 35mm

SEE EVENT DETAILS
Two drag-queens and a transsexual contract to perform a drag show at a resort in Alice Springs, a resort town in the remote Australian desert. They head west from Sydney aboard their lavender bus, Priscilla. Their bus breaks down, and is repaired by Bob, who travels on with them.

Stephan Elliott directed the film, with a cast that includes: Hugo Weaving, Guy Pearce, Terence Stamp, and Rebel Penfold-Russell.

This is more than just a movie screening; it marks the first film to be shown at the newly restored Castro Theatre, heralding a new era for this cherished San Francisco landmark.

Every ticket purchased directly supports the essential work of the Castro Community Benefit District in enhancing the neighborhood's safety, cleanliness, and overall vibrancy. We invite everyone--friends, neighbors, and allies--to come together in celebration of the Castro neighborhood for a night of joy, glamour, and community.

In a nod to the film's spectacular style and in the spirit of The Castro Theatre's legacy, the evening will also include a fabulous drag costume contest! Patrons are strongly encouraged to come dressed to impress in their most over-the-top, outrageously campy drag ensembles. Prepare to strut your stuff, as fabulous prizes will be awarded to those who serve the best looks and embody the spirit of Priscilla.
