June 27th 2009 Portland, Oregon PDX Browncoats Presents the 4th Annual Charity Benefit of Serenity at Cinema 21
PDX Browncoats, a local nonprofit group comprised of fans of Joss Whedon’s “Firefly”, are gearing up for their 4th annual Can’t Stop the Serenity event screening of the movie Serenity to benefit Equality Now. Equality Now (www.equalitynow.org) is an organization that works to end violence and discrimination against women and girls around the world through the mobilization of public pressure. Over the last three years Portland alone has raised over $28,000 for Equality Now. While the screenings started locally in Portland, they have become a global phenomenon raising more than $250,000 for Equality Now since the first events in 2006.
For our 4th annual screening, we are excited to be returning to Cinema 21. This year, we will hold two screenings. The first screening will be open to all ages. Doors open at 3PM. We are very excited to announce that Portland’s second screening will be the first ever Special Hell showing of Serenity. Have you ever wanted to shout your favorite lines at the screen? Tell the actors to watch out? Warn Wash before that crucial moment when he meets his fate? This is your chance! The Special Hell screening allows us, the fans, to poke a little fun at our favorite Joss Whedon film. And who better to make fun of it than those who love it most? Doors for the second show will open at 10:30 PM. Cinema 21 now serves beer and wine, so the late show will be 21 and older.
The fun doesn’t stop there, though. As we did in 2006, we will be teaming up with the Gypsy to bring you a pub quiz, costume contest, and Dr. Horrible’s Sing-a-Long Blog Karaoke! Come to the early screening, stay for the fun at the Gypsy, and come back to have your say at the second show! All the excitement will take place on June 27th at Cinema 21 on NW 21st Avenue. Check our website at serenitynow.pdxbrowncoats.com for more information on the screenings. Tickets go on sale Friday, May 15th. Tickets can be purchased at Box Office Tickets via the Cinema 21 website (www.cinema21.com).
