    About

    “Lyonne blends hyperbole and sincerity in perfect proportions.” – Chicago Reader

    “Quirky, funny, and full of quotable lines. A 90s cult classic . . . ” – Bianca Garner/In Their Own League

    But I’m A Cheerleader is a satirical romantic comedy following Megan (Natasha Lyonne – Poker Face, Russian Doll, Slums of Beverly Hills), a high school cheerleader whose parents (Mink Stole of John Waters’ fame and Bud Cort of Harold and Maude) worry she’s a lesbian and send her to a “rehabilitation camp” to “make her straight.” Megan meets Graham (Clea DuVall of Veep, The Handmaid’s Tale), and the two become friends. But, as Megan gets closer to Graham and spends more time at the camp, the more she begins to question her sexuality. Also starring Melanie Lynsey (Yellowjackets, The Last of Us) and RuPaul (RuPaul’s Drag Race) as camp assistant, Mike.
