The Adventures of Priscilla,
Queen of the Desert
Saturday, June 11th at 7:00 / Sunday, June 12th at 4:30
Resplendent in flamboyant ball gowns, looking down over the vast red Australian desert: for three showgirls (Terence Stamp, Hugo Weaving, and Guy Pearce) it was the dream of a lifetime, a four-week cabaret engagement in Alice Springs. The problem is simply getting there intact, along with their battered, pink tour bus, Priscilla, Queen of the Desert. It’s not easy being a drag queen in the outback! With over-the-top, Academy Award®-winning costume design and a fabulous soundtrack of camp classics including Gloria Gaynor’s “I Will Survive” and ABBA’s “Mamma Mia,” THE ADVENTURES OF PRISCILLA, QUEEN OF THE DESERT is a hilarious, vivacious comedy that celebrates community.
(Australia / 1994 / Directed by Stephan Elliott)
