Farewell to the Roadhouse Theatre

By Michael Mahler

On Thursday, Nov. 15, the Roadhouse Theatre for Contemporary Art closed after having been active in the arts scene for almost 20 years. During that time, they had presented quite a few GLBT themed works and had been very supportive of the community. When bad weather threatened the 2nd Pride Rally in 1999, the Roadhouse was offered as a backup venue. The final presentation at the Roadhouse was a showing of the Rocky Horror Picture Show, a cult classic movie that is beloved by many GLBT people. The Roadhouse will be greatly missed!
