In the 1920’s, the Plaza Theatre<br />

started its life as a garage before<br />

being converted into a theatre<br />

in 1935. During its early days<br />

it would play second run films.<br />

Only in 1995 did the theatre<br />

become a first run theatre.<br />

Around 2010, the Plaza Theatre<br />

became the new home for the<br />

Fairy Tales Queer Film Festival<br />

and continues to be to this day.<br />

“Seeing ourselves<br />

represented on the big<br />

screen for sixteen years<br />

now has been nothing<br />

short of alchemy for me<br />

personally. After a week<br />

of watching queer film<br />

(I am a pretty hard core<br />

festival goer), I am always<br />

disoriented to find the<br />

outside world as straight<br />

as it is.”<br />
