Florida Agenda

“BABY GIRL”

What if you were conceived twice in one lifetime: once by the illegitimate passionate sex of a young couple in love, and next by a “missionary position”-loving, conservative couple who long to have a child, but the “little guys” never make it to the egg? What if you were adopted by the married couple, only to find out you are everything they can’t stand—I mean, understand? After coming out as a lesbian, and being alienated by her adoptive family, Ashley, a spirited young daydreamer, goes on an extraordinary journey to find love, and a place to call home. When Ashley’s fantasies meet reality, expect the unexpected! Baby GirL runs now through August 5, Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m., and Sundays at 5 p.m. All performances are at Empire Stage, 1140 North Flagler Drive, Fort Lauderdale. For tickets visit: smarttix. com or empirestage.com. WARNING: This play contains ADULT CONTENT.

 

CHRISTMAS IN JULY

July 25, from 6 to 9 p.m. at McSorley’s Beach Pub on Fort Lauderdale Beach, to support the Children’s Diagnostic and Treatment Center. First drink FREE, and a FREE appetizer sampling. Admission: $10 plus one new unwrapped toy. For more information and to register, visit share-a-pet.org/Events-3.

 

SYMPHONY OF THE AMERICAS SUMMERFEST CONCERT

AN EVENING WITH JOHN WATERS: “THIS FILTHY WORLD”

July 28, at the Parker Playhouse. This extraordinary engagement will be preceded by a screening of Waters’ classic film, “Polyester,” as well as a montage and commemoration ceremony, followed by a Q&A session. Admission: $36.50, $46.50, $61.50, VIP $125.

SEA TURTLE WALKS

Through July 24 at the Museum of Discovery and Science and AutoNation IMAX Theater (401 SW 2nd Ave, Fort Lauderdale). Starts at the museum at 9 p.m., and ends by 1 a.m. This summer, the Museum of Discovery and Science hosts evening Turtle Walks. The whole family can participate in an evening of discovery while uncovering the natural history and myths of turtles. Nature permitting, participants will have a chance to watch a 300 pound Loggerhead sea turtle venture out of the ocean to lay her eggs. A female loggerhead sea turtle may travel thousands of miles to return to the beach where she hatched as a baby to lay her own eggs as an adult. At 9 p.m., the adventure begins at the Museum of Discovery and Science with an informative hands-on session about turtles (land, fresh water, and salt water) with an expanded focus on sea turtles. The adventure continues to Fort Lauderdale beach where Museum expert guides will lead guests to the sea turtle’s nesting grounds to look for amazing sea turtles. We cannot guarantee a sea turtle will be spotted on every walk but when it does happen it is a natural wonder that no one will ever forget. Guests should be prepared to walk approximately one to two miles, and provide their own transportation and snacks. Advance reservations are required as space is limited. Remaining 2012 dates: July 18, 19, and 24. Admission: $18 for members, $20 for non-members.

WIG MINISTRIES “REVIVAL”

The Manor Restaurant and

Complex will be the scene for the

first “revival” of WIG Ministries,

a non-profit, 501(c)(3), gay

spirituality ministry, with a mission

of enlightening and educating gay

youth, adults, gay families, the

elderly, and non-gay allies to reach a

higher gay empowerment. Inspired

by Native American traditions and

The Radical Faeries movement—in

which gay and transgendered folks

were revered as shamans, healers,

and gifts to the world.

WIG Wednesday night services

were created so that gay folks and

our non-gay allies learn about gay

spirituality, gay history and gay

empowerment. WIG is theatrical

and fun, sexy and intelligent,

flamboyant and fabulous. To

describe WIG Wednesday night

revivals, think, “Circuit Party meets

‘Glee: The Musical’ at a temple

during the high holidays.” Think,

Big Black Diva music, drag queens,

DJ’s, Glee-style gospel performances

and gay empowerment messages.

The 8 p.m. worship services are

guaranteed to leave everyone

feeling intellectually, spiritually

and emotionally powerful! $10

donation suggested. For more

information, visit wigministries.org.
