THE RITZ - 50th Anniversary

Celebrate five decades of comedic brilliance with a special 50th anniversary screening of The Ritz at the legendary Castro Theatre. This 1976 farce, based on Terrence McNally's Broadway hit, follows a hapless mob target who hides in a gay bathhouse, leading to a riotous chain of mistaken identities. Rita Moreno plays the cabaret singer Googie Gomez, a role that earned her a Tony Award on Broadway.

Attendees can expect a night of classic queer cinema in one of San Francisco's most iconic venues. The Castro Theatre provides a fitting backdrop for this landmark film, which remains a hilarious comedy of errors. The screening offers a unique chance to experience an often overlooked gem of early queer cinema on the big screen.
