Brody Theater, 16 N W Broadway
Earlier this year, Americans couldn’t wit­
ness the Prop. 8 trial because supporters of the

General admission is $8, $7 for stu­
dents, $6 for matinees, $5 for seniors and
students before 6 p.m. Call 503-223-4515
or visit cinema21.com for more infor­

downtown’s Living Room Theaters.
