Sunset Blvd. with live performance by Rebecca Havemeyer

Wednesday, November 24, 7pm at the Ritz
Advance tickets available here!

Rebecca Havemeyer is not only Austin's most fantastic drag personality but an incredible and unpredictable performer who puts on a remarkable show every month at the Ritz for Celluloid Handbag. Every month is special, but this month is exceptionally special because this month Rebecca’s stage antics will be followed by a film so important to the history of American cinema that if you don’t go see it you’re just not grateful.

In SUNSET BOULEVARD, Gloria Swanson stars as Norma Desmond, a washed up star from the silent era who is obsessed with making it big again. For years, she has stayed hidden in her gothic mansion working on some monstrosity of a screenplay with nobody for company but her creepily devoted butler and monkey. Enter William Holden as a handsome young hack of a screenwriter and you’ve got the makings of a twisted plot complete with a murderous cougar. A 35mm print of this stunning piece of film noir by the brilliant Billy Wilder is not the cinematic event to miss.
