Join us in remembering James Van Der Beek with a screening of the iconic "True Love" episode while we raise funds for Colon Cancer Coalition
About this Event

On March 15th we will screen the season 3 finale episode of Dawson's Creek titled "True Love" in rememberance of James Van Der Beek who passed from colon cancer in February.

"True Love" is an iconic episode for a variety of reasons: a huge leap in the Dawson -> Joey -> Pacey timeline resulting in the famous Dawson crying meme as well as a huge moment in LGBTQIA+ TV history.

In addition to screening the episode and raising a glass to James and his place in our 90s / 00s childhoods, we are raising funds for the Colon Cancer Coalition.

Colon Cancer Coalition , based in Minneapolis, has a goal to to reach every community, raise screening rates, and help families tell their stories to break down the fear and stigma surrounding this preventable disease. Through signature Get Your Rear in Gear®, Tour de Tush®, and Fundraise Your Way events, each year communities across the United States unite to fight this disease.

100% of donations collected with RSVPs and at the screening will be donated to CCC. Please note: RSVPs and donations do not guarantee entry but serve as a attendance previews for staffing purposes and for guest calendar reminders.

Doors at 6pm and our screening begins at 7pm. Dorothy remains open after the event until 11pm.

Dorothy is 21+ and requires physical ID for all to enter. Dorothy is also ADA accessible with elevator access on Campbell Ave. If you are a guest who requires elevator access, please wait by the black door on Campbell with our logo in the window and call our staff to assist: 773-770-3799
