Fred Astaire\’s Dancing Lessons: Queer Mentors and Monsters: Multimedia Performance by Dustin B. Goltz @ Pollak Theatre
Mar 28 @ 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm
Fred Astaire\’s Dancing Lessons: Queer Mentors and Monsters: Multimedia Performance by Dustin B. Goltz @ Pollak Theatre

What does it mean to be “part” of the queer community in 2019? Who tells you your story? Your history? Your future? This solo performance is a 70-minute multimedia, performative examination of shifting perceptions of queer male mentorship, LGBT aging anxieties, and the lingering cultural threat assigned to queer sexuality. The piece is an avalanche of pop culture, flamboyance and monstrosity—an intertextual interrogation of queer generational tensions- reclaiming a story of the monsters who refuse to die (for long), refuse to hide the histories their bodies carry, and who keep surviving through wit, camp, irreverence, and an ongoing commitment to the queer community.

The Producers: A Mel Brooks Musical @ Spring lake theatre
Mar 29 @ 7:30 pm – 10:00 pm
The Producers: A Mel Brooks Musical @ Spring lake theatre | Spring Lake | New Jersey | United States

Mel Brooks’ classic cult comedy film translates perfectly to the stage as a musical. The Producers sets the standard for modern, outrageous, in your face humor. Max Bialystock and Leo Bloom scheme to produce the most disastrous flop in the history of Broadway, thereby cheating their backers (little old ladies) out of millions of dollars. Unfortunately for them, “Springtime for Hitler” is a huge hit! At the core of this hysterical adventure is a poignant emotional journey of two very different men who become friends. The Producers skewers Broadway traditions and takes no prisoners as it proudly proclaims itself
an “equal opportunity offender”.

ASBURY PARK WOMEN’S CONVENTION @ The Stone Pony
Mar 30 @ 10:00 am

After last year’s successful inaugural event — featuring heavy-hitters such as Senate Majority Leader Loretta Weinberg, Former Lieutenant Governor Kim Guadagno, Freeholder Ashley Bennett, Comedian Julia Scotti, and more — Deputy Mayor Amy Quinn, Councilwoman Yvonne Clayton, Comedian/Politico Jess Alaimo, and AP Women’s March founder Dani Fiore are keeping the conversation going with the event which again promises to be both both educational and entertaining. The non-partisan event aims to look at issues that affect women across party lines in an engaging and realistic manner. The APWC will not only leave audience members inspired but also with direction on how to actually bring forth change. Last year, with over a thousand women in attendance at the Paramount theatre, the Convention addressed issues such as: Equal Pay, Women’s Healthcare, and Sexual Violence. This year the event will be at the Stone Pony and will tackle the issues of: Cannabis and Wellness, Being A Trans Ally (with Garden State Equality), and Agreeing To Disagree.

APWC co-founder Deputy Mayor Amy Quinn adds, “We are once again thrilled to host an event which brings together women of different ethnicities, political affiliations, and ages to ensure all our voices are being heard on issues that matter to us all. Mark your calendar for a fun, informative event on March 30th.”

Original APWC co-founder and Councilwoman Yvonne Clayton adds, “We are very excited about the opportunity to bring APWC to the Stone Pony this year. The APWC was not just a one-time event. Every year we will be doing something new, different, and exciting. We know that both women and men will come out and support us.”
