The John Waters Screenplays: A Reading and Conversation with The New Yorker’s Michael Schulman

Legendary filmmaker and writer John Waters joins us for a reading and conversation spanning the arc of his remarkable career, in celebration of the new reissue of his classic early screenplays, with The New Yorker’s Michael Schulman. From the shocking Pink Flamingos, which established him as a household name and set a new bar for cinematic filth, to Hairspray, the sweetly triumphant story of a dance-crazy teen in 1960s Baltimore — later adapted into a smash hit Tony Award-winning musical — John Waters’ films redefined the art of camp in the ‘70s and ‘80s, and in the process blew open the doors of modern independent film. And as his early screenplays attest, Waters has long been more than filmmaker — he is a towering literary artist, a writer of radical and subversive genius. In this reading and conversation covering Waters’ earliest days as a filmmaker in Baltimore to his status as the auteur king of camp, join us for a celebration of the entire arc of Waters’ singular career, in honor of the reissue of six of Waters’ early screenplays — Multiple Maniacs, Pink Flamingos, Female Trouble, Desperate Living, Flamingos Forever, and Hairspray — plus a few surprise guests. Recorded Oct 21, 2025 at 92nd Street Y, New York. Your support helps us continue creating online content for our community.
