Onyx at the Nevada Theatre: Mrs. Vera's Daybook
Celebrate Pride Month with the Onyx Downtown at the Nevada Theatre, 401 Broad Street, Nevada City on Sunday, June 18 at 7 pm with the screening of The Unabridged Mrs. Vera's Daybook, including Q&A with David Faulk and Michael Johnstone—a.k.a. Mrs. Vera and Mr. Tina and director Robert James. This very special event is presented by Nevada County Pride, Miners Foundry, and the Onyx Theatre, with generous participation from Citizens for Choice and Sierra Foothills Aids Foundation.
Mrs. Vera's Daybook tells a story of historic activism and community art through the works of two San Francisco artists, who also happen to be long-term AIDS survivors. During one of the darkest periods in US History, two men decide to bring joy and color to a broken community for which an entire movement has emerged. Supporters, fellow activists and members of the queer art community join the film to help paint this vivid portrait of perseverance, compassion and outrageous dime-store fashion.
Following the film, the fun will continue with an after party at The Golden Era Saloon, right down the street. Meet the three panelists and continue the conversation over cocktails.
