• June 22 - The County Theatre presents a showing of film "Sabbath Queen" at 1 p.m. The feature documentary filmed over 21 years follows Rabbi Amichai Lau-Lavie's epic journey as the dynastic heir of 38 generations of Orthodox rabbis, including the Chief Rabbis of Israel. He is torn between rejecting and embracing his destiny and becomes a drag-queen rebel, a queer bio-dad and the founder of Lab/Shul — an everybody-friendly, God-optional, artist-driven, pop-up experimental congregation.
• June 24 - The movie, “Birdcage,” will be shown at Broad Commons Park. The outdoor screening is presented by the County Theatre and the Moving Pictures Cinema. The movie begins at 8:45 p.m. Gates open at 7:45 p.m. and will begin at dusk (around 8:45 p.m.). Tickets will be available for purchase at the door. A limited number of popcorn boxes ($5 each) and water bottles ($2 each) will be available to purchase at the screening. Bring a chair or blanket as seating will not be provided. Keep in mind that a can of bug repellent comes in handy while watching an outdoor movie.
• June 29 - The Doylestown Dragstravaganza takes place on June 29 at the Hattery. What Sunday isn't made better by drag, cocktails, mocktails, and good fun?
