Event
Cherdonna presents Goodnight Cowboy [In-Person Only]
June 9-12 & 16-19 at 8pm
$17 General Admission
$13 NWFF Members
ABOUT THE SHOW:
"Goodnight Cowboy" is a performance work that uses iconography from Margaret Wise Brown's children's book "Goodnight Moon" and American western films. Cherdonna explores the myth of the conquest of the west, false heroism, how this heroic event is a construct and a farce filled with melancholy. "Goodnight Cowboy" explores themes of loneliness, isolation, the silliness and limitations of American mythology, and delves into things that seem simple but are complex.
This work asks: What is wildness? What is tamable? What is America's obsession with stereotypical masculinity, the illusion of masculinity, and the performance of masculinity?
** Join us Friday, June 10 for a talk-back with Cherdonna and collaborators following the show! **

Accessibility
Ticketing, concessions, cinemas, restrooms, and our public edit lab are located on Northwest Film Forum's ground floor, which is wheelchair accessible. We have a limited number of assistive listening devices available for programs hosted in our larger theater, Cinema 1. These devices are maintained by the Technical Director, and can be requested at the ticketing and concessions counter.
The Forum does NOT have assistive devices for the visually impaired, and is not (yet) a scent-free venue. Our commitment to increasing access for our audiences is ongoing, and we welcome all public input on the subject!
If you have additional specific questions about accessibility at our venue, please contact our Executive Director Cara Mia Harris at caramia@nwfilmforum.org
