freeFall At The Movies returns tomorrow night at 7pm. Book tickets at freefalltheatre.com!

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 Val’s potential ultra-conservative in-laws to his two fabulous dads in the hilarious film, The Birdcage. 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, Republican Sen. Kevin Keeley (Gene Hackman). 1996’s The Birdcage is a riotous and heart-warming comedy that proves family isn’t just a word, it’s a whole sentence.

See The Birdcage and get an inside look at the inspiration behind Hannah Benitez’s new play For Closure! playing at freeFall April 11 through May 11, 2024. The Birdcage is rated R and runs 1 hour and 59 minutes.

It was great to have Blake Santori of New Play Review join us for opening weekend of FOR CLOSURE! by Hannah Benitez.

“What struck me as I sat in the packed audience opening weekend, was the ease with which each generation watching was able to hop on board the train of the story despite its necessary contemporary nuances…Octogenarians, as well as what looked like Gen Xers, Millennials and a few scattered Gen Zers were truly, for at least one tight hour and seventy five minutes, united in a journey.”
