Here’s your lineup along with a look ahead.
“Play It Again, Sam”
The Melon Patch Players in Leesburg open “Play it Again, Sam” Friday and it plays until May 23.
In the play written by Woody Allen, Allan Felix has this thing about Humphrey Bogart – if only he had some of Bogart’s technique. The recently-divorced young Allan is bookish and insecure with women. Luckily his hero, Bogey, comes to the rescue with a fantastic bevy of beauties played out in hilarious fantasy sequences.
In the real world, fixed up by friends with gorgeous women, Allan is so awkward that even Bogey s patience is tested. Allan mostly resembles a disheveled, friendly dog, which ultimately charms his best friend s wife, Linda, into bed.
While the Orlando Fringe Festival is the biggest Central Florida arts event each May, that doesn’t mean the rest of the cultural scene comes to a grinding halt. Not in a Fringey or festive mood this year? Here are some alternatives to check out.

ORLANDO | Picture it: Orlando, 2019. The Parliament House’s Footlight Theatre sets the stage!
Some of Central Florida’s most talented drag queens are getting together over a few cheesecakes at Parliament House to bring you “The Golden Gals Live.”
Ginger Minj, Divine Grace, Gidget Galore and MRMS Adrian will take the stage as Blanche, Dorothy, Rose and Sophia, respectively. Rounding out the cast will be Watermark WAVE winner Doug Ba’aser playing a lesbian.
“This show is just campy fun! It is a chance for the audience, and the cast, to just get away from everything that’s going on in the world and laugh with old ‘friends,’” Ba’aser says.
