It’s still early in 2026, but once you witness Oscar-nominated actor Ryan Gosling’s riveting portrayal of science teacher/inadvertent planet savior Ryland Grace in “Project Hail Mary” (Amazon/MGM), you may agree that he’s a shoo-in for an Academy Award nomination and may, in fact, take home a statuette. His layered performance draws on both his comedic and dramatic skills in equal measure, combined with his general hotness (wait until you see him in one of his skintight space suits).

Ask any queer person, and they will tell you that we are virtually everywhere. Next door, across the street, holding political office, on the pulpit, on stage, in movies, in books, and on TV, falling in love in hockey rinks. Even performing with The Beatles and the Rolling Stones, as is illuminated in gay director Paris Barclay’s documentary “Billy Preston: That’s The Way God Planned It,” about the titular, late, gay, singer/songwriter and keyboard player.

Palm Beach Pride & Parade is a two-day festival, March 28-29, produced by Compass Community Center.

For generations, Disney stories have continued to evolve while holding onto the sense of wonder that first made audiences fall in love with them. With Disney On Ice presents Mickey’s Search Party, that magic quite literally takes flight. The production blends world-class figure skating with acrobatics, aerial stunts, and vibrant projection mapping to create an experience that feels immersive, energetic, and full of heart.

Some shows feel big the moment you hear about them. Moulin Rouge! The Musical is one of those productions. One that is bold, glamorous, emotional, and unapologetically theatrical in the best possible way.

Twenty feet in front of you, and you can’t see a thing.
