The Adventures of Priscilla: Queen of the Desert
When drag queen Anthony (Hugo Weaving) agrees to take his act on the road, he invites fellow cross-dresser Adam (Guy Pearce) and transsexual Bernadette (Terence Stamp) to come along. In their colorful bus, named Priscilla, the three performers travel across the Australian desert performing for enthusiastic crowds and homophobic locals. But when the other two performers learn the truth about why Anthony took the job, it threatens their act and their friendship.

About Story Screen Beacon Theater
Story Screen is a film critique based business operating the beautifully restored, independent movie theater Story Screen Beacon Theater on Main Street in Beacon, NY. Not a pop-up movie theater, aggressively expanded!
Their goal is to generate a culture of film lovers and spread the appreciation of story and structure through the medium of film and television. All of their showings range in age appropriateness, as well as multiple genres, time periods and countries. To learn more visit their website.
Wonder Bar, nested inside the theater, offers delicious snacks, full plates and cocktails (the latter of which you can bring into the theater with you).
