FORT LAUDERDALE – Former “Mad Men” regular Bryan Batt joined Stonewall Summer Pride Grand Marshal Bruce Vilanch last week as members of the South Florida cast for the premiere of “Standing on Ceremony: The Gay Marriage Plays.” Its four-day run at the Broward Center for the Performing Arts’ Amaturo Theater ended Sunday, June 24. According to the producers, “From the potential spouses, to the impact vows have on friends, family, and colleagues, ‘Standing On Ceremony’ presents all perspectives and points of view.
Witty, warm and occasionally wacky, these plays are vows to the blessings of equality, the universal challenges of relationships and the often hilarious power of love.” Among the writers whose works were featured are Obie Award winner Mo Gaffney, Heideman Award winner Jordan Harrison, Tony Award nominee Moisés Kaufman, Emmy and WGA Award winner Joe Keenan, Tony Award nominee Neil LaBute, Sundance Jury Prize winner Wendy MacLeod, Obie Award winner José Rivera, Obie and Outer Critics Circle Award winner Paul Rudnick, and Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award winner Doug Wright. A portion of proceeds from the performances will benefit Equality Florida.
