The ability to stream movies and the availability of a wide variety of films on cable channels has no doubt brought the art and craft of filmmaking to more people than ever before. However, there is nothing to compare to the magic of watching a movie screened bigger than life in a theater setting, where anywhere from dozens to hundreds of people are all experiencing the same thrills, intrigue, comedy, or drama.

Del Shores’ “black comedy about white trash,” “Sordid Lives,” gets a new production by producer/director Larry Buzzeo and his ArtBuzz Theatrics company through Oct. 22 at the intimate Empire Stage in Fort Lauderdale.

You will never settle. And why should you? If it's not right, you make it right. If it can be better, well, then get at it. You find the solution or you go on to the next thing because good enough is never good enough. As in the new book "Bayard Rustin," essays edited by Michael G. Long, there's always work to do and good trouble.

Unlike most other regional companies, Plays of Wilton (POW!) and producer Ronnie Larsen follow a commercial theater model like Broadway, preferring flexibility and not being locked into a predetermined schedule. When a show is successful, he can extend and when its not selling, quickly close and move on.

With its stellar performance of Del Shores’ classic comedy, “Sordid Lives”, Larry Buzzeo’s ArtBuzz Theatrics has packed a Broadway-level performance into the tiny space at Empire Stage.

Award-winning lesbian writer and educator Julie Marie Wade lights up every room she enters. Her joyful spirit qualifies her as the Mary Tyler Moore of literature. She can virtually turn the world on with a smile. The smile, however, is hard-won. Having survived being raised by unyielding, religiously conservative parents, Wade has channeled that experience into her work, creating art and catharsis, including her new collection of braided essays, “Otherwise” (Autumn House Press, 2023). Julie was gracious enough to make time for an interview in advance of the October 2023 publication of “Otherwise.”

"See You on Venus" is a story brimming with messages and full of hope, according to author Victoria Vinuesa. It talks about the need to love, rather than being loved.
