Catch a special screening of Alice Wu's, Saving Face on June 6, 2026 @7 :30PM!
Saving Face (2004) Wil is a lesbian, but she does not dare tell her widowed mother, Hwei-lan, or her very traditional grandparents. She's shocked, however, to find out she's not the only one in her family with romantic secrets when she learns that her 48-year-old mother is pregnant. Unwilling to reveal who the father is, Hwei-lan is kicked out of her parents' home and must move in with Wil, which puts a strain on Wil's budding relationship with openly gay Vivian.

We're honored to get the chance to screen Cheryl Dunye's, The Watermelon Woman!
The Watermelon Woman (1996) is a 1996 American romantic drama-comedy film written, directed, and edited by Cheryl Dunye. The first feature film directed by a Black lesbian, it stars Dunye as Cheryl, a young Black lesbian working a day job in a video store while trying to make a film about Fae Richards, a Black actress from the 1930s known for playing the stereotypical “mammy" roles to which Black actresses were relegated during the period.
Come Celebrate 30 years of The Watermelon Woman with us!

Sat down with @lilyjaniak a few weeks ago to reflect about my time so far with @bravatheater and what we’re doing to make sure we can continue to stay here as a cultural pillar on 24th St. I’m so honored that this organization trusts me in this role, and we’re going to keep (sustainably) working hard for our artists & community 🌟
