Celebrating 25 Years of "The Broken Hearts Club"

Greg Berlanti's film "The Broken Hearts Club" will mark its 25th anniversary with a special screening and discussion on April 25, 2026, at West Hollywood Park. The event, organized in partnership with Street Food Cinema, aims to benefit Pride House LA/West Hollywood and Team OutAF. Following the screening, attendees can participate in a conversation featuring notable cast members, including Billy Porter, Zach Braff, Berlanti himself, and producer Mickey Liddell, moderated by Jess Cagle.

"The Broken Hearts Club" portrays a group of friends in West Hollywood as they navigate the complexities of romance and friendship. The ensemble cast includes Timothy Olyphant, Justin Theroux, Jennifer Coolidge, Dean Cain, Andrew Keegan, Nia Long, and the late John Mahoney. Berlanti and Liddell expressed their gratitude for the screening, emphasizing the film's themes of friendship and community within the LGBTQIA+ space. They noted, “At its heart, this film is about friendship and found family within the LGBTQIA+ community and finding love and support during both challenging and celebratory times.”

The event's proceeds will support Pride House LA/West Hollywood and the Out Athlete Fund, organizations dedicated to promoting inclusion and excellence in sports for the LGBTQIA+ community. Berlanti and Liddell highlighted the importance of these organizations, stating that they “show up for the community,” much like the film’s characters support one another.

• “At its heart, this film is about friendship and found family within the LGBTQIA+ community and finding love and support during both challenging and celebratory times. This ragtag group of friends may not be the most skilled at softball, but they are pros at showing up for each other and the game, much like PH LA/WeHo and the OutAF fund show up for the community. We cannot wait to revisit the film with everyone and look forward to supporting these organizations that champion inclusion and LGBTQIA+ excellence in sports.” — Mickey Liddell, Producer
