Bloomington Double Film Feature
Classic Pyx presents INDIANA PRIDE 2004 DOUBLE FILM FEATURE -- $5
7pm Late Bloomers and 9:15pm Venus Boyz at the Buskirk-Chumley Theatre in Bloomington IN
http://www.buskirkchumley.org/
Who would have thought a little one-on-one could get a girl in so much trouble? When high school basketball coach Dina Groshardt falls for school secretary Carly Lumpkin, the uproar reverberates from classroom to locker room, from the principal's office to the PTA. A film about true love, tolerance and naked basketball, LATE BLOOMERS redefines family values. A movie for everyone who believes it is never too late to fall in love.
Winner of the Audience Award for Best Lesbian Film (2002 Copenhagen Gay and Lesbian Film Festival), VENUS BOYZ explores women who explore their female masculinity as "drag kings," using a legendary Drag King Night in New York as a starting point to follow some of the women into their lives. http://www.venusboyz.com/

Phoenix Theatre Presents The Indiana Premiere Of International Hit Musical Naked Boys Singing
The opening number promises no "prudity" and no "crudity"; just plenty of "Gratuitous Nudity."

Its only point is to celebrate the splendors of male nudity in comedy, song and dance. Musical numbers range from the screamingly funny (like the sassy opening number "Gratuitous Nudity" or the circumcision-based "Bliss of a Bris") to poignant and moving numbers (such as "Kris Look What You've Missed" and "Window to Window"). There are 16 songs in NAKED BOYS SINGING- making this 90-minute tribute to the human male, fly by in a torrent of laughter and nudity.
