Elite Manhattan drag queens Vida Boheme (Patrick Swayze) and Noxeema Jackson (Wesley Snipes) impress regional judges in competition, securing berths in the Nationals in Los Angeles. When the two meet pathetic drag novice Chi-Chi Rodriguez (John Alberto Leguizamo) — one of the losers that evening — the charmed Vida and Noxeema agree to take the hopeless youngster under their joined wing. Soon the three set off on a madcap road trip across America and struggle to make it to Los Angeles in time.
Pack up a chair or blanket and join the Short North Civic Association on the softball field in Goodale Park (located at the corner of Goodale & Dennison) for a free movie under the stars, projected on a giant inflatable screen with cinema-quality sound. Food trucks will be on hand for snacks. Limited free parking is available in an adjacent lot, metered & app parking is available on adjacent streets, and the Convention Center garage is also in easy walking distance.
