The Clinton Street Theater in Portland is in its 47th year of screening 'The Rocky Horror Picture Show' weekly, marking the event as both a cultural landmark and a vital queer space. Despite its 50th anniversary, the theater focuses on evolution rather than nostalgia. Since acquiring the theater in 2022, the new ownership is dedicated to maintaining its identity and relevance. Various hosts contribute to the screenings each week, with unique formats that foster communal experiences, highlighting the theater's commitment to inclusivity and community engagement.
It feels like a responsibility, oftentimes, to keep that area what it has been for decades.
The 'with Thom Hilton' screenings are a one-man inclusive movie party, he says.
