MONTPELIER – The Savoy Theater will kick off pride month with a screening of the “Rocky Horror Picture Show.” The show is one of six cinematic events planned for the theater’s Queer Film Festival, a three week celebration of LGBTQ+ films and shorts, both modern and classic. The cult classic features audience participation moments, including $5 prop bags full of messy objects like handfuls of uncooked rice.
The festival, now in its fourth year, is one of Vermont’s many events celebrating Pride Month. A portion of ticket sales will go to the Pride Center as well. Along with town-sponsored events, local venues have planned a wide variety of pride-themed entertainment. Barre LGBTQ+ bar Foxy’s has an amateur drag night slated for June 7, while Babes Bar in Bethel has gay trivia planned on June 26.
