Gays Gone Wild! Returns
Was it really 20 years ago Another Gay Sequel: Gays Gone Wild! opened? I guess so, those twinks are now middle-aged, but preserved in celluloid at their lusty peak. Breaking Glass Pictures will re-release the cult favorite on March 3. The outrageous and unapologetically queer sequel is remembered for its stacked guest appearances by B-List celebs, and vivid time-capsule snapshot of late-2000s gay nightlife, celebrity, and sex-positive storytelling. The film doubles down on camp, comedy, and celebrity cameos, including RuPaul, Scott Thompson (Kids in the Hall), “RuPaul’s Drag Race” star Willam Belli, Perez Hilton, and adult entertainment legends Michael Lucas and the late Colton Ford. The 2026 re-release invites longtime fans to revisit the film, available on all major streaming platforms on March 3.

Stage Notes
Diva Alert!
The diva with the voice of an angel and the mouth of a truck driver, Amy Armstrong, makes a rare appearance at Sunshine Cathedral Center for the Performing Arts on March 21. Her patter is almost a stand-up comic act. She’s just naturally funny and really connects with an audience. Make it a point to see “Everybody’s Girl.” When she’s in town.
The Pink Nail Society’s second annual masquerade ball In Pink, hosted by Eric Restivo, takes place Feb. 26 at Hunters. Give prostate cancer the finger!
Sum People
Larry Buzzeo directs "The Sum of Us" at Empire Stage Feb. 27 through March 15. The play premiered in 1990 at the Cherry Lane Theatre in NYC and was later made into a film starring a young Russel Crowe. The story revolves around Harry, a widowed father, and his gay son Jeff. The play is a poignant exploration of love and acceptance, focusing on the relationship between a father and his gay son. Call 954-678-1496 or go to EmpireStage.com for tickets.
