American Wonders

The photography world showcases so many diverse subjects. From the famous Pulitzer prize winning photos of shooting victims, or hungered babies with vultures circling around, or the depression era family and their dirtied, hopeless faces. Tonight, though, a more optimistic and familiar subject is on display: the beauty of spectacular scenes and animals from national parks across America and around the world. The photography by Albert Barg, Jeff Weisberf, and Brandon Quarters give new perspectives to these awesome spectacles. A wine and cheese reception completes the event. 7 p.m. Pride Center at Equality Park. 2040 N Dixie Hwy, Wilton Manors, 33305.

Friday 4/4

Chelsea Handler in Miami

When she’s not zinging Piers Morgan, Chelsea Handler is gulping vodka, writing national bestsellers, and hosting her popular late night talk show Chelsea Lately. Chelsea Handler’s comedic bent also lends itself to the LGBTQ community. In 2009 she received the prestigious Ally for Equality Award from the Human Rights Campaign, recognizing her contribution to bettering the lives of LGBTQ people. Her humor mixes sarcasm and brashness with original stories about both her sexcapades and alcohol-fueled adventures. 8 p.m. The Filmore Miami Beach. 1700 Washington Ave, Miami Beach, 33139.

The Pajama Game

Sid has been hired to increase the factory’s productivity while Babe wants a 7 ½ cent raise. Unfortunately, these two representatives of management and labor soon fall hopelessly in love. The musical score includes such popular favorites as “Hey There,” “Steam Heat,” Hernando’s Hideaway,” and “There Once Was a Man”. 2 p.m. Delray Beach Playhouse. 950 NW 9th St, Delray Beach, 33444.

Wednesday 4/9

A Queer Philosophical Discussion

As part of the Reading Queer initiative of South Florida, poets Maureen Seaton and Julie Marie Wade discuss the word “queer” and what it means to the artist. Is all art-making inherently queer, particularly in a world that devalues art and consigns most artists to the margins of mainstream work? Could queerness be a kind of potential we all have to express ourselves creatively, apart from gender, race, orientation, etc? These esteemed poets will explore the issue of queerness and the ability to tap into its potent force tonight. 5 p.m. Stonewall Wilton Manors Gallery. 2157 Wilton Dr, Wilton Manors, 33305.
