"I first saw Rocky Horror when I was 9 years old, and it blew my mind and changed my life. I made my mom take me and my 6 year old sister to see it in West Hollywood, bless her heart. They called all the virgins on stage, so we went. "Do you want to get me arrested, kid? Sit back down." As a freshman at Reed, I took my dorm mates to see it for their first time. So glad for your uninterrupted commitment to educating today's youth." Nili Yosha

Affable Gentlemen Storytelling presents a special encore presentation of Donna Kay Yarborough’s Diagnose This: Tales of a Medical Actor! Join Donna (The Famous Haydell Sisters, SHEnatra, and Query the Crone) live as she shares tales about her day job--being a Standardized Patient. When an improv comic plays patient for student doctors, what results is an awkward, hilarious, and moving insight into the human condition.

Featuring a special performance of MANSPLAINING by Jaguar Bennett. What really goes on in men's minds? And why is it so disgusting? Why are men such pigs? Can men be redeemed? And how? Comedian/sex traitor Jaguar Bennett spills the secrets of the fouler sex in a hilarious expose that may even make you like men again.

Recommended for audiences 17+ due to frank, cringe-worthy talk about bodies, colorful language, and occasionally strong opinions.

The Be It Yourself nights, while fully audience directed, are designed to be more family friendly and for those eager to have their first Rocky experience. Watch a cool little video about BIY Nights HERE.

Journey n. [ˈjər-nē]: “an act of traveling from one place to another”

And that is the very essence of a storyteller’s craft, starting in one place, ending up in another and changed by the journey.

Journeys take us to other countries, to other ways of being and to places of understanding. You can take a journey and never leave your chair or you can fly for 40 hours then see things you only imagined before.

Most journeys take courage and the best ones require us to let go and let it happen. Even losing your way can be rewarding, leading to unexpected treasures life has to offer. Taking a turn down a small cobblestone street and finding the best food you’ve ever tasted… Feeling lost in emotions and despair only to find the real you on the other side … Simply walking across the street to say hello to a new neighbor … Hearing where others have been and how they got there.

The idea is to go somewhere you have never been. Keep your eyes open. You never know, you may learn something new.

Doors open at 6:30pm. Come early to grab seats and participate in an important conversation and short preview with environmental leaders at 7:00pm moderated by Representative Power. Together, we can ensure that environmental justice is a top priority in the 2019 legislative session.

Filmmakers present opening night for a post-screening Q&A!!!

The Portland Circuit, a collaboration between the #OregonMade Creative Foundation, the Northwest Film Center, the Hollywood Theatre, the Clinton St. Theater, and Cinema 21, has been created to provide a local theatrical run for locally produced feature films. This initial pilot program will select feature-length films and allow them to have a paying audience screening in four of the most dynamically programmed theaters in Portland.

These “theatrical runs” will consist of a four day, theatrical screening in each of the participating theaters (each on separate days). The first run will be held in October 2018 and then a second run of a different, still-to-be-named feature film will follow in February 2019.

We are pleased to announce that the sixth feature film from director Jon Garcia, “Sex Weather,” has been selected as the inaugural Portland Circuit project.

Director Jon Garcia and crew members will be in attendance for a question and answer following all of the screenings.
