Tuesday, May 26 from 6 pm to 9:30 pm
Overview
Get ready to experience the magic of The Pink Pill documentary at our exclusive community screening event - it's going to be epic!
The Pink Pill: Sex, Drugs & Who Has Control Following advocates pushing for FDA approval of a pill demonstrated to boost female desire, this engaging documentary explores stark inequalities regarding women’s sexual health. The film exposes how medical education and healthcare institutions systematically ignore women’s sexual needs while normalizing dozens of drugs for male erectile dysfunction. Witty, urgent, and illuminating, The Pink Pill interrogates the double standards in science, medicine, and society that shape how female desire is understood and often dismissed. – Ruth Somalo, Senior Programmer at DOC NYC

]]>THE LAST PICTURE SHOWhttps://bluemousetheatre.com/production/the-last-picture-show/   The Last Picture Show is a 1971 American coming-of-age drama film directed by Peter Bogdanovich and co-written by Bogdanovich and Larry McMurtry, adapted from the 1966 semi-autobiographical novel by McMurtry. The film's ensemble cast includes Timothy Bottoms, Jeff Bridges, Ellen Burstyn, Ben Johnson, Cloris Leachman, Cybill Shepherd, Eileen Brennan, and Randy Quaid. Set in a small town in northern Texas from November 1951 to October 1952, it is a story of two high school seniors and longtime best friends, Sonny Crawford (Bottoms) and Duane Jackson (Bridges). The Last Picture Show was theatrically released on October 22, 1971, by Columbia Pictures. It was a critical and commercial success, grossing $29 million on a $1.3 million budget, and was nominated for eight Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Supporting Actor for Johnson and Bridges, and Best Supporting Actress for Burstyn and The Last Picture Show - 1971 Columbia Pictures Directed by Peter Bogdanovich Academy Award Winner 1972: Best Supporting Actor - Ben Johnson Best Supporting Actress - Cloris Leachman July 16th 2026, 6:00 pm   Blue Mouse Theater Event screening hosted by UWT Film Professor, David Coons P.hD.

He holds a P.hD. in Communication and Culture from Indiana University. And a MA in Popular Culture from Bowling Green University Leachman, with Johnson and Leachman winning. Bogdanovich directed a 1990 sequel, Texasville, based on McMurtry's 1987 novel of the same name and featuring much of the original film's cast reprising their roles; Texasville failed to match the critical or commercial success of its predecessor. In 1998, the Library of Congress selected The Last Picture Show for preservation in the United States National Film Registry for being "culturally, historically or aesthetically significant".[2][3]      ]]>EXORCISThttps://bluemousetheatre.com/production/exorcist/STORIES OF THE SOUNDhttps://bluemousetheatre.com/production/stories-of-the-sound/

Echos of the Sound: The Story of Hugo and the Southern Residents (Synopsis)

In 1968, a young orca named Hugo was torn from his family in Vaughn Bay and sold to an aquarium, forever altering his fate and that of his pod. "Echos of the Sound" chronicles Hugo’s heart-wrenching journey from the wild to captivity, revealing the deep emotional and ecological toll. Through rare footage and expert insights, the documentary tracks the evolving relationship between humans and orcas, from exploitative captures to the urgent fight to save the endangered Southern Resident population. This film challenges viewers to reflect on humanity’s responsibility and inspire action to protect these majestic creatures and their fragile ecosystems before it’s too late.
