The Jewish Community Center presents MotherSON
MotherSON, a semi-autobiographical solo play which deals with a young Jewish man and his mother and their evolving relationship after he comes out to her. The one-man show stars Jeffrey Solomon, who effortlessly switches between playing a twenty-something gay man and his forty-something -- forlorn -- mother.
“MotherSON is the perfect play for skittish parents of gay and lesbian children," wrote the Chicago Free Press. "Solomon is deeply convincing in the dual role he has created here…he is so believable, we forget we’re watching only one actor.”
A discussion will be held after the performance with Solomon and the Orlando Chapter of PFLAG, Parents, Families and Friends of Lesbians and Gays.
The performance will take place at 8 PM in the Harriett & Hymen Lake Cultural Auditorium at the JCC at 851 N. Maitland Ave. Tickets are $50 for VIP front row seats, $10 for members of the JCC and $12 for non-members, and are available online at www.orlandojcc.org or by calling Jennifer Becher 407-645-5933 x245. |

Orlando Opera presents Il Trovatore by Giuseppe Verdi
Set in 15th century Spain, Verdi’s Il Trovatore is a story of a conflict between passionate love and fanatical hatred. Both the nobleman Count di Luna and the handsome gypsy troubadour Manrico love Leonora. Manrico has been raised by the old gypsy Azucena, demented by having committed infanticide and by having seen her mother burned as a witch by the Count’s family. Her revenge leads to tragedy for all. Featuring a wealth of familiar solos, duets, and choruses including the famous “Anvil Chorus”, Il Trovatore remains one of America’s most performed operas.

Orlando Opera presents La Cenerentola by Gioacchino Rossini.
In Rossini’s version of the classic fairytale Cinderella (La Cenerentola), the step-mother is a step-father and the fairy godmother an emissary of the handsome leading man. Our stage director, Garnett Bruce, sets the story in Hollywood during the Great Depression, where a director (“handsome leading man”) is searching for beauty, truth, and honesty in his next star. Come see the innocent Cinderella vanquish all against a backdrop of the 1930’s soundstage—including a gun-slinging western and Busby Berkeley production numbers.

Orlando Opera presents Suor Angelica By Giacomo Puccini and Cavalleria Rusticana By Pietro Mascagn.
A double bill (two operas for the price of one) ends the mainstage season with the best of Italian verismo opera, dramatic music setting stories of the struggles of the 19th century working class. Puccini’s Suor Angelica deals with the heartbreak of the separation of a mother and her child, born out of wedlock. Mascagni’s Cavalleria Rusticana sets the amorous dalliances of two women with a handsome dockworker (complicated by his protective mother) against the background of a Sicilian fishing village at Easter; the piece features massive choral forces and our acclaimed chorus master, Robin Stamper.
