Pageant, a behind-the-scenes documentary about the Miss Gay America Pageant, will be screened at 2:30 p.m. Aug. 16 at the 13th Annual N.C. Gay & Lesbian Film Festival in Durham. The festival runs Aug. 14-17 and is presented by the Carolina Theatre.
Pageant directors Ron Davis and Stewart Halpern follow five talented and passionate female impersonators who go to extraordinary lengths to be crowned the 34th Miss Gay America. This contest is all about illusion, so hormones and surgical body enhancements are forbidden.
Pageant will be screened at Fletcher Hall at the Carolina Theatre, 309 W. Morgan St., Durham.
Several stars from the documentary will be in attendance.
Tickets, $8, and information are available online at http://festivals.carolinatheatre.org/ncglff/ or by calling 919-560-3030.
