Six Degrees of Star Wars
Even before it became the property of a monstrously big corporation that started putting it everywhere, Star Wars was everywhere. Join us on a journey as we take the hyperspace lanes out of a galaxy far, far away and into other movies, finding all the ways George Lucas' flagship franchise surrounds us, binds us, and penetrates us.

It's very timely, but it's also badly aged. It's been adapted for the film and for the stage. And now we're looking at this tentpole of queer cinema, La Cage Aux Folles!
