The Westdale is full of heavy hearts at the loss of Dolly Parton and Tim Curry, two absolute icons in cinema and music. These two gave so much to the arts, both in their performances and their activism, and we know that many members of our community are deeply feeling this loss. The Westdale staff, who grew up on Nine to Five and found home in The Rocky Horror Picture Show, are right there with you💛

We hope that we can all come together to mourn and celebrate as a community, whether that's during our annual Rocky Horror screenings, or sooner. Rest in peace to the most fabulous Dolly Parton and Tim Curry.
