Join us tomorrow, Thursday, June 18th at 7 p.m. for a free showing of TO WONG FOO, the third movie in our OUTlaws Pride Series! In addition to the movie, enjoy themed drinks & pre-show trivia with prizes :)

The last two films in this series - TO WONG FOO tomorrow, June 18th, and PINK FLAMINGOS next Thursday, June 25th - are classics you won't want to miss. TO WONG FOO, released in 1995, is a road trip comedy featuring cameo appearances by RuPaul, Naomi Campbell, Robin Williams, and Julie Newmar. PINK FLAMINGOS (not recommended for children), released in 1972, is John Waters' self-proclaimed “exercise in poor taste," pushing the boundaries of what "can" or "should" be shown on screen. We hope you'll join us for both films!

Tickets can be picked up for free on our lobby or claimed online for a small fee at https://athenacinema.com/prideseriestowongfoo/

In honor of Pride Month and Juneteenth, we’re bringing these two indie movies to the Athena THIS FRIDAY, June 19th! In LEVITICUS, two teenage boys must escape a violent entity that takes the form of the person they desire most— each other. In IS GOD IS, two sisters embark on a quest for revenge, confronting a charged family history that will push them to extraordinary lengths. We've been wanting to show these two critically-acclaimed movies for ages, and we hope you'll come see them!

Tickets and showtimes coming soon at athenacinema.com
