Let’s Do the Time Warp Again!

Sonoma Valley Pride Hosts Screening of The Rocky Horror Picture Show at Sebastiani Theatre for 50th Anniversary

Sonoma, CA – [October 3, 2025] – Sonoma Valley Pride is inviting the community to celebrate a cult classic in true over-the-top style! On Saturday, November 8, at the historic Sebastiani Theatre will host a screening of The Rocky Horror Picture Show in honor of the film’s 50th anniversary.

The night promises outrageous fun and plenty of audience participation. Guests are encouraged to come dressed as their favorite characters from the beloved midnight movie. Doors open at 7:00 PM, with a costume contest kicking off at 7:30 PM, where prizes will be awarded to the best-dressed of the night. The screening will be at 8:00 PM

“This event is more than just a movie screening—it’s a celebration of queer joy, camp, and community,” said Matthew Long of Sonoma Valley Pride. “We’re thrilled to bring Rocky Horror to the Sebastiani Theatre, which first showed the film 35 years ago. We can’t think of a better way to mark its 50th anniversary than by doing the ‘Time Warp’ together in Sonoma Valley.”

Proceeds from the evening will benefit Sonoma Valley Pride and its mission to celebrate and support the LGBTQ+ community through inclusive programming, visibility, and local partnerships.
