Thank you for being a friend to the ultimate comedic icon, Bea Arthur!

Join us at the historic Castro Theatre for an unforgettable tribute celebrating the extraordinary life, towering talent, and enduring legacy of Bea Arthur. BeaArthur: The Documentary – “I Have Done Everything Except Porn”, takes a deep dive into the legendary life, razor-sharp wit, and groundbreaking career of BeaArthur, spanning her memorable roles on stage and screen.

The evening will feature a special appearance by the cast of San Francisco’s favorite drag parody show, Golden Girls Live! There will also be a costume contest before the film, so be sure to come dressed in your best Golden Girls inspired outfits to win fabulous prizes! Following the screening, director Dan Watts, will be joined on stage by the fabulous and legendary Miss Coco Peru for an intimate discussion about all things Bea Arthur.

Bea Arthur: The Documentary – “I Have Done Everything Except Porn” reveals a more personal Bea Arthur: intensely private yet remarkably compassionate, wickedly funny, fiercely intelligent and deeply committed to causes she believed in. Among them was her longtime advocacy for the LGBTQ+ community, a relationship that made Arthur an enduring and beloved figure for generations of LGBTQ+ fans.

Revisit Arthur’s iconic roles as the outspoken, fiercely independent Maude Findlay in Maude, and the gloriously deadpan Dorothy Zbornak on The Golden Girls. The documentary also explores Arthur‘s celebrated stage career, including her Tony Award-winning performance as Vera Charles in Mame, and the one-woman shows that brought her back to the stage later in life.
