Join us for a special screening of The Birdcage (1996), the beloved comedy starring Robin Williams, Nathan Lane, Gene Hackman, Dianne Wiest, and Hank Azaria.
When Armand’s son announces his engagement to the daughter of an ultraconservative senator, Armand and his longtime partner, Albert, find themselves attempting the nearly impossible: pretending to be a conventional family for one unforgettable dinner.
Warm, wildly funny, and full of heart, The Birdcage is a celebration of family, identity, honesty, and being unapologetically yourself. Adapted from Jean Poiret’s French play La Cage aux Folles, the film has become an enduring queer comedy classic.
And this screening is meant to be a celebration! Come ready to have some fun and join us for a special “We Are Family” sing-along as we welcome the Hamptons Pride Film Series back to Bay Street for the fall.
Presented as part of the Hamptons Pride Film Series, held at Bay Street Theater on the last Sunday of every month at 4pm.
