In this 1996 remake of the classic French farce La Cage aux Folles, engaged couple Val Goldman (Dan Futterman) and Barbara Keeley (Calista Flockhart) nervously arrange a dinner to introduce their very different families. Val’s father, Armand (the late Robin Williams), who runs a flashy Miami nightclub, agrees to tone things down for the evening and hide his long-time relationship with Albert (Nathan Lane), the club’s larger-than-life star. The goal? To impress Barbara’s father, played by the late Gene Hackman, a buttoned-up political figure with traditional views.

Opening Reception Sat, July 12, 4-6 pm
Artist Talk Sat, July 19, 4 pm
This two-person exhibition offers a rich and resonant conversation between two artists whose practices explore time, space, and our human relationship to the natural world. Through abstract photography and mixed media painting, Kady and Neilson invite viewers into layered contemplations of perception, memory, and transformation. Their works embrace minimalism and atmosphere—each piece suggesting quiet movement, suspended time, and an ongoing search for equilibrium within change. Together, their art evokes a shared reverence for nature’s subtleties and a deep curiosity about how we make meaning of place.

Shot in over 80 Parisian locations, acclaimed director Jean-Pierre Jeunet ("Delicatessen"; "The City of Lost Children") invokes his incomparable visionary style to capture the exquisite charm and mystery of modern-day Paris through the eyes of a beautiful ingenue.
