Newfields Summer Nights: But I’m a Cheerleader 

The beloved summer tradition, The National Bank of Indianapolis Summer Nights Film Series returns to Newfields on Fridays and select Saturdays this June, July, and August. Bring your friends and family and watch movies under the stars at Newfields. All you need is a chair or a blanket; concessions and beverages will be available for purchase. You are welcome to pack your own picnic (with non-alcoholic beverages only) if you’d like. For those who like to be prepared, sunscreen and bug spray are always a good idea. 

But I’m a Cheerleader 

Seventeen-year-old Megan (Natasha Lyonne) is a high school senior who loves cheerleading and is dating football player Jared (Brandt Willie), who she doesn’t like to kiss. Her concerned parents suspect that Megan is in fact a lesbian and send her to True Directions, a therapy camp to “convert” its campers to heterosexuality. Megan befriends another girl, fellow camper and college student named Graham. Will Megan be a success at True Directions, or will she fall in love? 

Directed by Jamie Babbit, 1999, 85 minutes, R.
