Several hundred theatergoers attended the opening Thursday of Standing on Ceremony: The Gay Marriage Plays at Broward Center for the Performing Arts.

Opening night, starring Bryan Batt (Mad Men) and Bruce Vilanch (Hairspray), benefited Equality Florida.

After the performance, I moderated a short discussion with the cast, director John Manzelli and Tobias Packer of Equality Florida.

At 7 p.m. Sunday, Vilanch will be grand marshal of the Stonewall Summer Pride parade in Wilton Manors.

Sat., June 23rd: Attended last night's performance. So good to experience, in Southeast Florida, rare profound plays, with professional actors, in a legitimate venue. Always good to push back with another gay-themed political/artistic piece against the overwhelming cacophany of pathetic hetero hooplah (example: "Magic Mike".)
