False Negative: An Evening with John Waters

Sure, you could wait until the Criterion Collection re-releases John Waters' 1972 cult classic film “Pink Flamingos” on Blu-Ray in late June to find out more about why it's difficult to discuss the movie without using words and phrases such as “disgusting,” “filth” and “camp spectacle.”

Another option is to secure a ticket to attend “False Negative: An Evening with John Waters” taking place Saturday, May 21 at Western Washington University's Performing Arts Center Mainstage. Hold on to your seats, because the one-man show and Q&A with the renowned 76-year-old director will be followed by a screening of “Pink Flamingos.”

“False Negative: An Evening with John Waters” takes place at 7 p.m. Saturday, May 21 at Western Washington University's Performing Arts Center Mainstage, 516 High St. This event is open to WWU students, staff and faculty as ticket buyers.
