Robin Willliams and Nathan Lane star award-winning comedy at the Fisher Theatre
Sedona, AZ — Get all dolled-up for a night at South Beach here in Sedona as the Sedona International Film Festival partners with Unify Sedona to present “The Birdcage” on Saturday, June 28 at 4 and 7 p.m. at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre. The event is the finale to our annual celebration of Pride Month.
Enjoy the Academy Award-nominated big screen smash — starring Robin Williams and Nathan Lane. Costumes are encouraged, so … come dressed in your favorite “Birdcage” South Beach attire and join the party! Prizes will be given for best costumes. A champagne and cake reception in the courtyard will follow the evening film. Those who attend the 4 p.m. screening will be given a wristband to return to the reception.
In this remake of the classic French farce “La Cage aux Folles,” engaged couple Val Goldman (Dan Futterman) and Barbara Keeley (Calista Flockhart) shakily introduce their future in-laws. Val’s father, Armand (Robin Williams), a gay Miami drag club owner, pretends to be straight and attempts to hide his relationship with Albert (Nathan Lane), his life partner and the club’s flamboyant star attraction, so as to please Barbara’s father, controversial Republican Sen. Kevin Keeley (Gene Hackman) and mother (Dianne Wiest).
Good company, song, laughter, fun and “The Birdcage” in the spirit of South Beach … what better way to spend an evening? We promise a special event you will never forget!
