A Very Sexy Glance at Gay Life In Plays of Wilton’s ‘Prep’d’
If you’re not familiar with the term “PrEP,” you might not exactly be part of the target audience for the play PrEP’d, a raunchy sex-positive comedy that is this weekend finishing up its month-long run this weekend at The Foundry through Plays of Wilton. But if you didn’t know, PrEP is actually a handy-dandy acronym for Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis, a type of medication approved in the 2010s for use by gay men who are at risk of contracting HIV through anal sex. PrEP is 99 percent effective at preventing the transmission of HIV within this population, and this particular play was commissioned through a grant from the CAN Community Health Foundation specifically to explore this particular subject.
Fun, Full-Hearted, and Fabulous: Broward Center’s ‘The Cher Show’
There’s no doubt that Cher is the definition of a triple threat: actor, dancer, singer—often described as “The Goddess of Pop,” she’s truly a cultural icon for the ages. Therefore, it’s only fitting that three talented stars band together to tell the story of her life and career. And that is exactly what happens in the Tony-winning musical The Cher Show, which celebrated its opening night at the Broward Center on November 19 (fittingly enough, the same date that Part One of Cher’s long-awaited memoir hit shelves). Directed by Casey Hushion, with a book by Rick Elice, The Cher Show takes the audience on an unforgettable (and catchy!) journey through time, co-led by three very different, yet equally fantastic, versions of Cher herself: Babe (Ella Perez), Lady (Catherine Ariale), and Star (Morgan Scott). With musical numbers made up of Cher’s greatest hits (“If I Could Turn Back Time,” “Believe,” “Song for the Lonely,” “Strong Enough,” and so many more), the show will have you dancing in your seat, whether you are a Cher novice or a diehard fan.
