¶ Keep the book open on libraries
I am very disturbed and dismayed at the actions taken by the federal government, some state and local governments to defund, close, censure and remove books from public and school libraries.
Throughout my early years, education, professional career and now in retirement, I have depended on libraries to be a place of exploration, learning, social and physical development. In their early childhood, my children attended many story times, musical and creative events. My mother was a public school librarian at two small rural schools in Central Florida and was instrumental in founding our town’s public library. One of the first things I do when I have lived in a new area is go to my local library, get a library card and sign up for receiving news of the library’s activities.
Public libraries that are well stocked, with a wide selection of resources, open hours convenient to the public and hosting a wide selection of cultural and social activities and events are a defining characteristic of a community’s support of its population. America’s public and school libraries set us apart from many countries.
Please join me in voicing support for public and school libraries as a source of learning and community cohesion available to all without government censorship and the threat of funding freezes and closures.
— Anne Cordon, New Smyrna Beach
I write this letter in support of my main library, the Orange County Library system. It is efficient
and broad in scope and I have not failed to receive my requested books, either electronic or delivered to my doorstep. I highly recommend fully supporting any initiatives that endorse or support our libraries. I would be lost without it!

¶ Save constituents from pollution, Mike
I’m calling on Rep. Mike Haridopolos to do more to prioritize our health, climate and future. This includes:
· Stopping efforts to repeal the Inflation Reduction Act’s climate and clean energy policies that will put us on a path to cut climate pollution 40 percent by 2030, create 9 million jobs, and lower energy prices.
· Blocking the Trump administration and unelected billionaire Elon Musk from cutting vital government programs and staff to pay for tax cuts for the wealthy.
· Resisting attempts to eliminate various environmental protection laws.
As a constituent and a supporter of environmental protection, these issues have a huge impact on me. I believe that future generations are entitled to clean air, clean water, and sources of renewable energy.
I urge Rep. Mike Haridopolos to protect people in our community over corporate polluters. We need you to fight for us!

BY MCKENNA SCHUELER, FLORIDA PHOENIX, AND THE NEWS SERVICE OF FLORIDA
» Florida AG wants to help Orlando state attorney prosecute more cases Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier offered last week to provide six prosecutors from his office to assist in Florida’s Ninth Judicial Circuit, where Orlando-area State Attorney Monique Worrell recently announced new policies to manage a backlog of more than 13,000 cases. Worrell asked Uthmeier last week for funding to bring in 13 more prosecutors to address the backlog of non-arrest cases that is now up to 13,675. That request followed her announcement of a new policy that requires local law enforcement to make an arrest or issue a notice to appear in court before they submit a case to her office for prosecution — comments Uthmeier criticized as “blanket policies” that “are contrary to the essential duties of a prosecutor.” ICYMI, Gov. Ron DeSantis suspended Worrell, a Democrat, from office in 2023, alleging she had neglected “her duty to faithfully prosecute crime in her jurisdiction.” Worrell took her case to the Florida Supreme Court, which voted 6-1 to uphold her suspension. However, after running for re-election last year, she won a second term in November, beating NPA candidate Andrew Bain, who was appointed by DeSantis to replace her.
» Florida State University shooting suspect identified as stepson of sheriff’s deputy
Two people were killed and six others were injured last Thursday after the stepson of a Leon County sheriff’s deputy opened fire around lunchtime at Florida State University. According to the Tallahassee Democrat, the deceased victims are Robert Morales, an FSU employee and high school football coach, and Tiru Chabba, who was at FSU on a work-related visit. The shooter, 20-year-old Phoenix Ikner, also was shot after confronting police officers, authorities said during a news conference. News reports identified Ikner as an FSU student. Ikner is accused of using a handgun that was an old service weapon belonging to his stepmother, a school-resource officer. Leon County Sheriff Walt McNeil called the shooting a “heinous crime” and said an investigation is underway to determine how Ikner, a member of the sheriff’s office youth advisory counsel, was able to get his stepmother’s firearm.
» Federal judge extends block on Florida immigration law
A federal judge brought up the arrest in Leon County of Juan Carlos Lopez-Gomez, a U.S. citizen born in Georgia, during a hearing last Friday in which she extended her block of the new Florida immigration law until April 29. U.S. District Court Judge Kathleen Williams expressed frustration over the arrests of Lopez-Gomez and others, said an attorney representing the immigrants and groups suing the state. At issue is Williams’ April 4 order temporarily barring enforcement of a law passed during a special session earlier this year making it a first-degree misdemeanor to illegally enter the state as an “unauthorized alien.” A Florida Highway Patrol trooper’s arrest of LopezGomez prompted national attention following the Florida Phoenix’s report that he was set to remain in jail because U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement had placed a 48-hour hold on him — even after a Leon County judge determined there had been no probable cause for the arrest. Lopez-Gomez was released from Leon County jail roughly 30 hours after arrest. During the hearing at the U.S. District Court of the Southern District of Florida in Miami, attorneys representing the state argued that law enforcement is not bound by Williams’ order, Fahsi Haskell said. Another hearing is set for April 29.
» Florida Republicans advance child labor rollbacks; critics say rollbacks are unnecessary
A Florida House panel advanced legislation aiming to further roll back on-the-job protections for working teens as young as 14, despite arguments from critics who say it’s unnecessary. One of the primary arguments from supporters is that the bill will give teens “flexibility” to work more. However, under existing child labor law, teens can already request a waiver from certain child labor restrictions from the state. According to the Department of Business and Professional Regulations (the state agency that enforces child labor law), the state granted 5,119 child labor waivers during the 2022-2023 fiscal year. A spokesperson did not immediately respond to a request for more recent data. This is the second year in a row that Republicans are pushing for child labor rollbacks, in step with a national movement led by business groups and conservative think tanks. Records first obtained and reported by Orlando Weekly show Gov. Ron DeSantis’ office was directly pushing for
this year’s rollbacks. Proposed rollbacks include lifting restrictions on the number of hours that teens aged 16 and older can work per week during the school year, and doing the same for teens as young as 14 who are homeschooled or enrolled in virtual school.
» Florida House unanimously passes bill to protect state parks
A proposal that would limit development in state parks and ensure maximum public scrutiny of changes to their management was approved unanimously in the Florida House, 115-0. The measure, called the State Park Preservation Act (HB 209), follows outrage felt across the board last summer after the Florida Department of Environmental Protection proposed to build lodges, golf courses, pickleball courts and disc golf courses in nine state parks. The bill, sponsored by Republican lawmakers Peggy Gossett-Seidman and John Snyder, says that state parks must be managed to provide the greatest benefit to the state, with plans for managed areas larger than 1,000 acres required to provide an analysis. The bill also requires the DEP to provide a report to the governor and Legislature regarding the status and operation of state parks. Additionally, the bill revises notice requirements for public meetings. It says that the Division of State Lands shall make available to the public an electronic copy of each land management plan at least 30 days before the public hearing required for parcels that exceed 160 acres in size and for parcels located within a state park. Following passage of the bill, the Sierra Club issued a statement thanking the House. The Senate version (SB 80) has passed unanimously in its two previous committees and has one more stop in front of the Senate Fiscal Policy Committee before reaching the floor. The legislation must be approved by both the House and Senate in order to pass.
STATISTICS AND LOGISTICS
Florida saw the largest decline in abortions last year of any state, a new report shows. The state used to be a regional hub for abortion access in the South
BY MCKENNA SCHUELER
After Florida’s restrictive abortion law took effect last May, banning most abortions after six weeks of pregnancy, the state saw a dramatic decline in abortions, despite a slight increase nationally.
According to a new report from the Guttmacher Institute, Florida saw the largest drop in abortions provided of any state last year, as a former regional hub for abortion access in the South. Florida’s statewide total dropped from an estimated 85,770 abortions in 2023, when Florida had a 15-week limit in effect, to 73,710 in 2024.
This represents a 14 percent decline, standing in stark contrast to a rise in the number of abortions that occurred last year in the U.S. total.
“We have this kind of stable overall story, and then a very complicated mix of declines and increases at the state level, because what is happening in one state is really affecting what’s happening in other states,” said Isaac Maddow-Zimet, a lead data researcher for the Guttmacher Institute, in an interview with Orlando Weekly Florida, South Carolina, Colorado and New Mexico saw the steepest declines in abortions provided last year, while Virginia, Kansas, Wisconsin and Ohio saw the largest increases — attributed in part to people traveling from other states for abortion care, and in Wisconsin’s case, due to a ban on abortions there being lifted.
Data for states with total abortion bans in effect (there are 12 total) were not included in
the Guttmacher Institute’s report, so researchers expect their numbers to be an undercount.
Maddow-Zimet, a researcher of 15 years for the research nonprofit, said one of the findings he was most surprised by is how travel across state lines remains a major way that people are accessing abortion care.
The number of people who traveled out of state for care in the U.S. more than doubled from 81,100 in 2020 — before the U.S. Supreme Court overturned the constitutional right to abortion — to 169,700 in 2023. That number declined slightly in 2024, to 155,100, but still remains significantly above 2020 levels.
“I think the thing that’s in some ways surprising about that is that we know that that travel is incredibly costly, needs an enormous amount of support from providers, from practical support organizations, from abortion funds — and so it is really somewhat surprising that it has been able to be maintained,” said Maddow-Zimet, adding, “It speaks to the real motivation on the part of both patients and people supporting patients to make sure that people can access care.”
With abortion access now severely restricted in Florida, many Floridians who need an abortion are now traveling to states like Virginia, Illinois, New York and North Carolina — the closest state (still hundreds of miles away) where abortion access isn’t completely banned or as restricted.
Still, North Carolina has a 72-hour waiting period law, requiring anyone seeking an
UN-TRUST-WORTHY
abortion to make two separate appointments with a medical provider at least 72 hours apart.
For someone who has a full-time job (or multiple jobs), a family, or other barriers that make travel difficult — such as arranging childcare — this can create a logistical nightmare.
“It can be really a burden, and that really is only overcome because there is this broad support network that has sprung up in order to provide wraparound care, to help cover the cost of abortion,” said Maddow-Zimet.
One group in that network is the Florida Access Network, a statewide abortion fund that helps remove financial and logistical barriers to abortion care for people with limited resources.
Ginnely Carrasco, deputy director of FAN, told Orlando Weekly they’ve seen out-of-state travel increase more than 53 percent since Florida’s six-week ban took effect last May.
“Many people do not know they are pregnant until around eight weeks, so by the time they were being seen in Florida, it was already too late to receive care here,”Carrasco shared in a statement.
Abortion procedures can cost hundreds of dollars out-of-pocket, and insurance plans on the Marketplace in Florida generally don’t cover it. But beyond the financial burden of an abortion procedure itself, in addition to gas, food and hotel stays, Carrasco said that unfamiliarity with travel can also be a hurdle.
“Even if they have a support person with them, many of our clients have never left
Florida before and are doing so under challenging circumstances.”
As of last November, Floridians were the largest group of people traveling to New York from out-of-state for abortion care, The City reported at the time, drawing from data from Planned Parenthood and an abortion fund there. Virginia, where abortion is legal up to viability, is the second-closest location to Florida where abortion is more accessible. But logistically, traveling there can be difficult. “I know a lot of people are trying to go to Virginia, but unless you’re driving, flights and hotels aren’t always the easiest,” Bree Wallace, executive director of the Tampa Bay Abortion Fund, told Orlando Weekly. “They kind of get expensive at times, too.”
Abortion bans can have negative health impacts, are tied to higher rates of infant deaths, and can put abortion providers — and other health professionals who treat pregnant people — in risky positions. In Florida, the penalties for violating the state’s abortion ban can include prison time, fines, and loss of one’s medical license. Some clinicians, and clinician groups, have spoken out against Florida’s abortion ban, arguing the law is “endangering patients’ health and survival and impairing clinicians’ ability to comply with their ethical obligations and medical standards of care.”
Florida is currently home to 49 licensed abortion clinics — a drop from 71 roughly a decade ago. Orlando has two licensed abortion clinics, one private and another operated by Planned Parenthood. Still, there are some states across the country where all abortion clinics have fully shuttered, particularly in the South.
A proposed constitutional amendment on the Florida ballot last year sought to overturn the state’s six-week abortion ban, by legalizing abortion up to viability. It got 57 percent of the vote — more than six million votes from Floridians total — but fell short of the 60 percent threshold it needed to reach in order to pass.

Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer earlier this month said the city would continue to honor the 2018 Trust Act. Then the Florida AG threatened to remove him
BY CHLOE GREENBERG
Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier warned Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer not to enforce a 2018 sanctuary policy in the city — and that failure to comply could result in penalties including removal from office. One day later, the mayor maintained the city’s policy is lawful.
In a social media post shared last Monday
afternoon, Uthmeier attached a letter addressed to the mayor addressing his immigration policies in the city.
Dyer earlier this month said that the Orlando Police Department will not be “proactive” in immigration enforcement, although the city did enter the 287(g) agreement to participate with ICE (along with more than 100 law enforcement
agencies across the state). Instead, Orlando will continue to honor the city’s Trust Act, a 2018 policy passed to prevent government employees from inquiring about the immigration status of law-abiding citizens.
Signing on to the 287(g) agreement was met with pushback from immigrant rights advocates, who confronted city leaders at City
Hall April 7 to slam the decision and to call on the city to rescind their agreement with the federal agency.
Dyer told community members that the city “will from time to time apparently be called upon to support ICE,” as reported by Central Florida Public Media. “And we will do what we have to do in that regard. We don’t want to lose both federal and state funding.”
In his letter, Uthmeier said the Trust Act policy is no longer lawful following Gov. DeSantis’ passage of a state law in 2019 that bans sanctuary cities throughout Florida.
“By prohibiting law enforcement officers from inquiring about a person’s immigration status, the City of Orlando is unlawfully
[continued on page 13]
[continued from page 11]
implementing a sanctuary policy and blatantly violating the law,” the letter read. “As the mayor of the City of Orlando and as an official responsible for directing OPD, you must use best efforts to support the enforcement of federal immigration crimes as required by Florida law.”
Uthmeier continued to outline applicable
penalties that “may” result if the sanctuary policy ban is not followed, including “being held in contempt, declaratory or injunctive relief, and removal from office by the Governor.”
Last Tuesday, the mayor responded with a letter stating that neither he nor the Orlando Police Department has any intention of violating the law and that they are gearing up to “continue to use our best efforts to support the

Orange County corrections staff are set to get a 17% pay bump, coincidentally right at the same time they enter into ICE agreement
BY MCKENNA SCHUELER
Correctional officers for the Orange County Jail are slated to receive a 17 percent pay raise later this month, under a new deal negotiated by the workers’ union.
The deal, approved by union members through a ratification vote earlier this month, is slated for a final vote of approval by the board of county commissioners Tuesday — the same day the board is scheduled for a work session to discuss the county’s controversial agreement with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, a federal agency directed by the Trump administration to carry out a mass deportation effort.
According to board meeting documents, the county “has faced challenges” in recruiting and retaining correctional officers in its jail system, the fourth-largest in the state. Under the new deal, negotiated by the Jerry B. Haddock Lodge No. 86 of the Fraternal Order of Police, correctional officers would be paid a minimum hourly rate of $27.42, up from the current $23.44 hourly rate, effective April 25, with a max pay rate of about $40 an hour.
Correctional sergeants (who earn much more), corporals and classification officers — who determine a person’s custody level in the jail and calculate release dates — would similarly receive 17 percent pay hikes later this month, records show. Even more, all corrections employees represented by the union would receive another 5 percent pay raise this October, under a three-year agreement reached by county and the workers’ union.
“The Office of Management and Budget and Corrections will closely monitor the budget for the balance of the fiscal year and based upon timing for filling positions and overtime, will come back to the Board this summer to request a budget amendment from reserves,” an internal county memo reads.“Until that time, Corrections
enforcement of federal immigration law, as well as state law.”
The letter also confirmed the city has signed the Memorandum and Agreement 287(g) Task Force program, which ensures a city’s partnership with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and authorizes local law enforcement to perform immigration officer functions under ICE’s oversight.
The back-and-forth came as immigration enforcement across the state, and the country, ramps up under President Trump’s harsh crackdown. In the Sunshine State, cities continue to sign on to the ICE task force agreement, and are now being joined by universities, with some even deputizing campus police to carry out enforcement on campuses.

will continuously look for operational efficiencies to minimize the budget impact.”
Felipe Sousa, executive director of the Hope Community Center, an immigrant and human rights organization, acknowledged that union negotiations generally begin months or even years in advance of reaching a final agreement, so it’s not clear the raises are directly linked to staff’s cooperation with ICE.
“We just want our [correctional] officers to get what they need in order for them to be well,” he told Orlando Weekly in a phone call. “But also we want to make sure that there is accountability and due process for people who are immigrants.”
A spokesperson for the county confirmed to Orlando Weekly that they began negotiations for a new union contract with the Lodge No. 86 on Jan. 28, 2025 — after Donald Trump returned to the White House.
According to federal Census data, roughly one-quarter of Orange County’s population is foreign-born — not undocumented, per se, just not born in the United States.
month. The agreement, known as a 287(g), like those approved by all 66 other Florida counties, authorizes county corrections officers to detain and transfer people who are accused by ICE of being in the country illegally.
Two County Commissioners, Kelly Semrad and Nicole Wilson, voted against approving the agreement, while County Mayor Jerry Demings argued that, under a new state immigration law, they had no choice.
“Non-compliance will result in possible punitive action,” Demings warned. He added that lack of cooperation with the federal agency could also place the county at risk for losing federal funding — an outcome he said could have “catastrophic” impacts on the community.
“As the CEO of Orange County, I cannot allow that to happen,” Demings declared.
Before his tenure as mayor, Demings served as both Chief of the Orlando Police Department and as Orange County Sheriff.
Sousa, who’s running for a seat on the Florida House of Representatives, believes municipalities are “being bullied” into entering agreements with ICE. According to the Miami Herald, county jail operators are required by state law to enter 287(g) agreements, but cities are not.
Immigrant rights advocates in Central Florida blasted the city of Orlando’s decision to deputize its own police force through a separate agreement with ICE earlier this month.
“The courts keep telling the Trump administration not to deport people, and they still deport them. There is no due process.”
While Florida is a red state, dominated by Republican elected officials, Orange County trends more Democratic. Several Orange County commissioners, bringing up civil rights concerns, expressed reluctance to enter into a formal agreement with ICE last
“The sense of betrayal is real,” Kassanndra Santiago, executive director of development for Las Semillas, told Orlando Weekly. She and Sousa are both part of a 30-group coalition of immigrant and human rights groups called the Immigrants Are Welcome Here coalition.
The Orlando Sentinel reported in late March that ICE has approximately 10,000 deportation orders in Orange County for people they believe are unauthorized immigrants, and Demings estimated that number could climb. Florida, at
large, is estimated to be home to about 800,000 undocumented immigrants, the third-largest undocumented population in the country.
Sousa spent 15 years as an undocumented person before gaining U.S. citizenship in 2021, after being brought to the U.S. from Brazil as a child. He emphasized that, under an administration that has ignored court orders, accountability and justice for immigrant communities are advocates’ primary concerns.
“The courts keep telling the Trump administration not to deport people, and they still deport them,” he said. “There is no due process.”
President Donald Trump previously vowed to stage “the largest deportation operation in American history,” according to the Guardian. ICE agents have conducted raids throughout the country, and have begun arresting foreign-born students and academics on visas and green cards. In some cases, the administration has explicitly targeted those who have been vocal in their opposition to Israel’s brutal and deadly war in Gaza. According to Al Jazeera News, the Trump administration has revoked nearly 1,500 student visas. U.S. Secretary of State (and former U.S. senator from Florida) Marco Rubio declared last month, “We are not going to be importing activists into the United States.”
But it’s not just students, immigrants with temporary protection status, or undocumented people who are getting caught up in ICE enforcement.
Just this week, a Florida state trooper arrested 20-year-old Juan Carlos Lopez-Gomez, a U.S. citizen, during a traffic stop for allegedly entering the country as an “unauthorized alien.” LopezGomez later told the Florida Phoenix that he showed his Social Security card and ID to the arresting trooper, although there is no mention of his Social Security card in his arrest report. Protesters in Leon County rallied outside the jail where the young man was being detained, and after more than 24 hours, the jail released Lopez-Gomez, who wept in his mother’s arms upon their reunion.
“What we need is for all of our local officials to be taking action based on facts, not based on fear,” said Sousa. When they do make decisions driven by fear, he added, “They need to understand that they are becoming complicit with the mass deportation machine that is here to destroy our communities and destroy our constitution.
“So are they on the right side of history or not?” mschueler@orlandoweekly.com

Orlando’s LGBT+ Center, a vital hub for the Central Florida LGBTQ community, kicks off a new fundraising campaign to offset federal funding cuts
BY MCKENNA SCHUELER
In an effort to offset funding cuts sweeping the federal government under the Trump administration, the LGBT+ Center in Orlando — a health and social service nonprofit — has relaunched a fundraising campaign to help keep their doors open.
The Center, which first opened back in 1978, serves as an important resource hub for LGBTQ+ individuals in the Orlando area. They offer mental health counseling, support groups, care coordination, and food assistance through a food pantry — all for free. The nonprofit also offers free HIV testing, a service available for anyone, regardless of whether they identify as LGBTQ+ or not.
“It was really important for us to launch a campaign to sustain our programs,” Nikole Parker, chief operating officer of The Center, told Orlando Weekly in a phone call last week. With three locations across Central Florida — and a flagship location on Mills Avenue near downtown Orlando — the Center offers a variety of programs funded in large part by grants, private contributions, and funds received through the state and federal government.
According to Parker, however, they’ve seen a notable shift in government spending under President Trump, who was re-elected to the White House last fall and returned to the Oval Office in January. Parker was unable to specify which federal agencies or programs have cut funds that they’ve relied on for their programming, but maintained that since Trump took office, they’ve “started to get emails about things not being renewed,” “have seen some of our grants being cut,” and “just kind of started to see things dwindle away.”
“Everyone’s kind of going through a tough time right now. Everything’s super expensive, and everyone’s just trying to navigate on how to best maneuver this,” she shared. “At the end of the day, our community is so used to fighting, and we have been for so long, and now we’re just seeing very important programs risking not being there just because we’re seeing politics play out. So that’s something that we want to avoid, and we want to continue to provide free services for our community.”
The nonprofit first raised the alarm bell last month — but they’re not the only ones. According to NBC News, more than 270
health-related grants from the National Institutes of Health, totaling $125 million of unspent federal funds, have been eliminated. This includes grants for research into health concerns among LGBTQ+ youth and adults, grants to help health professionals effectively address issues such as youth suicide, substance use disorders, HIV/AIDS, and grants to help provide culturally competent care.
The Department of Health and Human Services, which includes the NIH, is facing a reduction of 10,000 staff under the Trump administration’s federal downsizing initiative, streamlined by Trump’s ad hoc Department of Government Efficiency project.
“Over time, bureaucracies like HHS become wasteful and inefficient even when most of their staff are dedicated and competent civil servants,” claimed Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Trump’s pick for U.S. HHS Secretary, in a statement. “This overhaul will be a win-win for taxpayers and for those that HHS serves. That’s the entire American public, because our goal is to Make America Healthy Again.”
But the Center here in Orlando doesn’t see it as a “win-win.” The nonprofit has launched a “Journey Forward” fundraising campaign with a goal of raising $250,000 to “fund our future,” according to a news release. The campaign includes a Donor Wall that will display the names of individuals or organizations who contribute to their continued sustainability.
According to a 2024 tax filing, the most recent one publicly available through ProPublica, the Center reported $1.72 million in revenue in 2023 — roughly half of which came from government grants and contributions — and $1.71 million in total expenses, meaning they’re making use of the money that comes in.
Slightly more than half of their reported expenses went toward staff compensation (they have 23 staffers total), while the rest was attributed to “other expenses,” including facility expenses, advocacy programs, counseling and health services, and contributions to QLatinx, an organization serving Orlando’s Latinx community that was first established following the 2016 mass shooting at Pulse nightclub.
According to the Center, their nonprofit provided over 2,000 free mental health counseling appointments and 6,500 free HIV tests,
and provided free group support to over 10,000 individuals, including youth and family programming and LGBTQ+ seniors in 2024 alone.
Parker is concerned that, if they aren’t able to keep up their programming, there will be many who will be unable to access the services they provide otherwise. “I think, if people had to pay to get, let’s say, their HIV testing, it would reduce the amount that people are getting tested,” she said.
“So the fact that folks can kind of come into a safe space and not be judged, whether you are LGBTQ or not, and they are able to come in and just get tested for free, I think that really incentivizes them to be like,‘OK, well, you know, if I’m unsure about something, I can come here and get tested and get those results.”
It’s not just the Trump administration that’s created challenges for Orlando’s LGBTQ community. LGBTQ+ communities, particularly transgender individuals, have faced a barrage of politically-motivated attacks on the state level in recent years.
In Florida, state leaders have restricted access to treatment for gender dysphoria, also known as gender-affirming medical care. They have also made it easier for right-wing activists with antiLGBTQ+ views to force schools to pull books from their libraries that contain LGBTQ-themed content, and have restricted educators’ ability to discuss topics of gender identity and sexual orientation in the classroom.
A teacher in Brevard County was recently let go from her job after she referred to a student by their preferred name, different from their legal name, without their parents’ consent — a violation of a 2023 Florida law. The Trump administration, following in the footsteps of Florida, has signaled support for similar antiLGBTQ+ policies, aiming to eradicate “radical indoctrination” in schools.
In a recent executive order, the White House claimed that in “some” instances,“young men and women are made to question whether they were born in the wrong body and whether to view their parents and their reality as enemies to be blamed.”
Advocates for queer and transgender youth in Florida, including in Brevard County, have clapped back in the face of both federal and state attacks on LGBTQ+ rights, staging rallies and showing up to Tallahassee to protest bills they oppose that are moving through the state Legislature. They’re now dealing with a more challenging political terrain, under state and federal administrations that see diversity and inclusion as “discrimination” and a threat.
“Despite all the rhetoric out there, I think it’s really important that people understand that LGBTQ people are human beings as well, and we just want to live happily and authentically as anyone else,” said Parker.“Every human being should be able to access the resources that they need to live a full and healthy life.”

SH*TSHOW
A Hope Florida Foundation meeting, meant to address its current dire situation, was canceled after being derailed by racial slurs, porn and swastikas
BY CHLOE GREENBERG
Ahighly anticipated Hope Florida Foundation meeting last Thursday was canceled after a short time due to hackers screensharing offensive images and language including racial slurs, pornography and Nazi symbols.
The foundation and technicians appeared to lack the ability to control the public hijacking, and chair Joshua Hay called for a recess when the Zoom meeting was bombarded with shocking images.
The Florida Channel ended the livestream shortly after, about 40 minutes after the meeting began.
The Department of Children and Families said law enforcement was called to investigate.
The almost theatrical turn of events was the Hope Florida Foundation’s first public gathering since its inception in August 2023. The meeting was intended to serve as a forum for the board of directors to discuss the state of the organization and its finances, public records, corporate governance and public meeting laws.
Created by Florida First Lady Casey DeSantis, the foundation has been facing harsh scrutiny by House Republicans for the past several weeks.
Hope Florida was found to have received a $10 million settlement from Florida Medicaid giant Centene that it then paid out to two organizations, which in turn contributed the money to a PAC helping Gov. Ron DeSantis fight the marijuana legalization effort led by Keep Florida Clean. The political committee is headed by James Uthmeier, then Gov. DeSantis’ chief of staff and now state attorney general.
[continued on page 17]
[continued from page 15]
Further criticism has sprouted due to the foundation’s failure to file tax forms, offer public meetings or abide by other rules set in place for nonprofits.
Hope Florida Foundation chairman Hay said under oath last week that “mistakes were made” in the organization’s record-keeping.
Uthmeier was accused by House Health Care Budget Chairman Alex Andrade of illegally funneling settlement funds through Hope Florida to help defeat the proposed marijuana amendment.
“This is looking more and more like a conspiracy to use Medicaid money to pay for campaign activity,” Andrade told reporters.
A DeSantis administration spending probe was surprisingly launched by the Republican-controlled House, which is in the midst of a rapidly escalating feud with the governor.
Before the onslaught of inappropriate images, Hope Florida Foundation Board of Directors heard public comment, and also accepted the resignation of board member and longtime Walgreen’s lobbyist Jake Farmer.
Farmer will be replaced by Winter Park’s Wendy Nissan, an investment advisor. Farmer’s announcement comes on the heels of the resignation of Erik Dellenbeck, the foundation’s former executive director, whose departure was announced last Wednesday. Dellenbeck also resigned as chair of the Florida Faith and Community Advisory Council.
House Speaker Daniel Perez told reporters the chamber’s probe into the organization wouldn’t end when Florida’s legislative session wraps up on May 2.
“It is very clear by what has been put out there that Hope Florida could have been run better. That maybe transparency would be a benefit for Hope Florida. [The governor] refuses to acknowledge that; at least the chair of Hope Florida had the courage to do so,” Perez said.
“Rules for thee but not for me,” he quipped. “That seems to be the motto of Ron DeSantis today.”
DeSantis accused House Republicans of working with the “liberal media” in a “smear” campaign against him and the First Lady.
A message from the Hope Florida board of directors on the Florida Department of Children and Families website reads, “We apologize for the earlier disruption to the public meeting. The Department of Children and Families is actively working to address the incident.”

‘AN ALL-YOU-CANEAT BUFFET’
Orlando Rep. Anna Eskamani and others say Florida should look at properly taxing corporations and closing loopholes that allow tax-dodging and profit-shifting
BY MITCH PERRY, FLORIDA PHOENIX
While Americans observed Tax Day last Tuesday, a Florida Democrat joined with a progressive group at the Capitol to call for the Legislature to embrace a form of taxation known as “combined reporting” that they claim would move more than $2 billion into state coffers.
The call came as the House and Senate worked toward a major sales tax cut for Floridians this session, although they remain far apart in terms of the amount and how it would be distributed.
The Senate on Tuesday was poised to pass its $2.1 billion tax cut plan (SPB 7034), which features permanent elimination of taxes on most clothing and shoes priced $75 or less.
The measure also calls for the Office of Economic and Demographic Research to establish a plan to reduce and potentially eliminate
House proposal, saying he’d rather give a tax cut to Floridians and not to “Canadian tourists,”alluding to the fact that a sales tax would affect everyone who spent on items in Florida, such as tourists (who contributed about 16 percent of the sales taxes collected in the 2021-2022 fiscal year).
TARGETING CORPORATIONS
Meanwhile, during a press conference held in the Capitol Rotunda, Orlando Democratic Rep. Anna Eskamani and Jackson Oberlink with the group Florida For All called upon the Legislature to link whatever sales tax emerges this year with what is known as “combined reporting.”
Combined reporting is a tax accounting method that states can require multinational corporations to use when calculating how much they owe on their annual profits. It’s in place in 28 states.
“Our taxes should serve working families, not wealthy corporations,” said Oberlink, legislative director for Florida For All. “Right now in Florida, multinational corporations are treating our state like an all-you-can-eat buffet. Combined reporting would close the loopholes that let giant corporations shift profits to tax havens and dodge billions in taxes.”
Eskamani echoed Oberlink, and referenced a report issued Tuesday called “The Cost of Corporate Giveaways 2025: How Florida Lawmakers Are Letting Big Corporations Dodge Taxes and Making Working People Pay the Price.” The report claims that adopting that system of taxing corporations would result in up to $2.4 billion in new revenue for the state without having to raise tax rates.
Eskamani expressed concern about the House plan to cut $5 billion. She recognizes that sales taxes are regressive, she said, but worries about how the state will make up that lost revenue.
“We have a federal government which is slashing programs left and right, with very little due diligence or oversight,” Eskamani said.
property taxes for homesteaded property. The study would conclude later this year and, if legislators are persuaded by it, they would vote during next year’s legislative session to ask the voters to eliminate property taxes via the 2026 ballot.
That’s what Gov. Ron DeSantis began hyping earlier this year. But after House Speaker Daniel Perez announced last month his plan to permanently reduce the sales tax from 6 percent to 5.25 percent with an estimated savings of approximately $5 billion, DeSantis said the Legislature should spend that money on a property tax cut this year, giving an estimated 5.1 million residents who have a homestead exemption on their property taxes a rebate averaging $1,000 in December.
But neither the House nor the Senate has responded to that proposal, and it isn’t going anywhere this year. DeSantis has blasted the
“For a state like ours, which is very reliant on federal funding, we need to be cautious and careful about permanently cutting opportunities to generate revenue for essential services like Medicaid. Like public education. Like paying our public safety officials, and so forth. And so the solution that I have been mentioned many times as the ranking member of the Ways and Means Committee is combined reporting.”
Eskamani emphasized that supporting combined reporting is not a partisan issue. In fact, former St. Cloud Republican House members Fred Hawkins filed legislation in 2021 to mandate multistate and multinational companies to file single Florida corporate income tax return covering their entire businesses, rather than separate returns for subsidiaries.
If all states that levy a corporate income tax adopted combined reporting, that policy would raise $18.7 billion a year, according to an analysis by the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy.

NIGHT TERRORS
Opulence Black and Black Haüs return for Creature Feature — and you are not ready
BY MATTHEW MOYER
After a year’s silence, the doors of the Black Haüs crypt have ominously creaked open.
The first family of horror drag in Central Florida — and beyond — is returning to a local stage with renewed creativity and sense of purpose.
Black Haüs have been horrifying and seducing discerning fans of Orlando drag with high-concept and bone-chilling alt-drag since they first took over Tuesdays at Stonewall in 2017. The Black Haüs family weren’t a local cult phenomenon for long; matriarch Victoria Elizabeth Black made a strong impression on the second season of reality competition Dragula and then won 2022’s Dragula Titans. But this isn’t a solo show; the collective of performers are all innovative artists and have built strong followings of their own.
Black Haüs’ last extended run was at the Renaissance Theatre, where they closed the casket on Creature Feature in 2023 for a much-needed breather.
Opulence Black (Rock Kelly) heads up Black Haüs alongside Victoria Elizabeth Black. Both
are utterly ferocious performers and they have collectively built up Black Haüs as a recognized and prestigious name in alt-drag.
Black Haüs is a boundary-pushing force in Orlando drag, balancing innovative aesthetics with a commitment to activism on behalf of the LGBTQ+ community; Opulence Black is a tireless and vocal advocate for Orlando drag to be more inclusive, particularly in platforming transgender performers.
Opulence also recently ended a performing hiatus with a (literal) vengeance, returning with a cathartic performance that was an allegory of religious hypocrisy, soundtracked by shrieking metal.
“That performance was inspired by my own upbringing in the church and then getting kicked out when I came out publicly at 15,” explains Black. “I baptized someone at the end of that number with black liquid flowing from a chalice to represent the lies I was fed as a child and a reclamation of my artistic power.” Drag is personal, drag is political.
Orlando Weekly spoke to the always thought-provoking Opulence Black about new beginnings
ahead of Sunday’s Creature Feature resurrection.
What made you all decide the time was right to bring back Creature Feature?
Ultimately, deciding on when was the right time to bring back Creature Feature was due to the fans and community surrounding the event urging us to bring it back — which warms my little black heart that our show is so loved by so many. We took the last year or so to ourselves to rejuvenate after years of weekly events causing immense creative burnout. I think a lot of people discount the artistry we put into drag and don’t understand that producing high-caliber content weekly with very little money can be very draining to an artist, and taking that time to recenter and reinspire ourselves was truly needed.
Who is performing this weekend?
For our comeback show, we have the entire Haüs performing: your reigning Titan from The Boulet Brothers Dragula Season 2, Resurrection and Titans, Victoria Elizabeth Black; myself; Zade Black; Sixxx Black; resident DJ Vaxyn8, as well as some of our favorite special guests and a new face joining in on the fun.
We have returning Creature Feature favorite [and] burlesque baddie Lady Bri Adonis. She’s basically a resident at this point because we can’t get enough of her high-energy alternative approach to burlesque. We also have Orlando’s high priestess Anesthesia joining us. We adore Anesthesia. I watched her first performance on an open stage
9 p.m. Sunday, April 27 The Dust 431 E. Central Blvd. blackhausproductions.com $10
many moons ago and instantly booked her. She’s one of the most eclectic artists in the Orlando scene, and she’s truly created her own niche in such a short time.
Additionally, we have joining us for the first time Amnesia Effect. Creature Feature has always been a fierce advocate for the trans community in Orlando and Amnesia is a captivating performer, blending burlesque artistry and drag to create breathtaking numbers.
You took a bit of a hiatus yourself from performing after years of constant work. It was a very hard decision to take a step back from performing and I missed my community dearly during our year or so apart, but ultimately I knew I needed it and it was time to put Rock over Opulence. Over the last several years I’ve had to deal with some unexpected health issues that I tried to perform through, against better judgment that I needed time to properly heal. Additionally, I’ve begun a sober journey and just passed my two-year mark of no alcohol. Being in nightlife, you don’t get health insurance but you sure do get a bar tab and unfortunately this impeded my life and performance greatly. I’m excited to get back to performing and be a beacon for other performers that need a safe space in an alcohol-forward environment.
How has the current state of the United States added urgency to your art, putting on events and fostering community?
What we are witnessing happening locally, nationally and globally is gut-wrenching and feels hopeless as a member of the LGBTQ+ community. To be honest, there have been times where I think about those that are being deported and wrongfully held in concentration camps and it feels wrong to throw on makeup and try to perform. What I have held onto as a reason to move forward with performing is a sentiment shared during the AIDS crisis: “We bury our friends in the morning, protest in the afternoon and dance all night.”
The Trump administration wants us to feel powerless, hopeless and exhausted, but the one thing they can’t take away from us is radical queer joy. That queer joy is what empowers us, gives us hope and tells us to keep on fighting the good fight. We need to be visible, we need to stand in our power and we will not give up the fight because our community needs us. And if Creature Feature can be a match to that gasoline, then I’m happy to strike that match again.

South African cast members of The Lion King relish the ‘beautiful and powerful’ opportunity to represent their homeland onstage
More than three decades after it first roared onto cinema screens, Disney’s animated masterpiece The Lion King continues to spawn entertainment experiences around the globe, from the 2024 CGI prequel Mufasa to the upcoming Pride Rock flume ride announced for the Disneyland Paris resort. No Simba spin-off has been more successful than director Julie Taymor’s stage adaptation, which is celebrating its 23rd year touring across North America with an extended four-week stay at Orlando’s Dr. Phillips Center.
However, the beating heart of this beloved show comes not from Broadway or Burbank, but from Africa itself, which is not merely the setting for this feline-focused fable, but the homeland of many of the company’s cast members. Two of them are Thembelihle Cele (Nala) and Mukelisiwe Goba (Rafiki), who both hail from Durban, South Africa, and have been performing in productions of The Lion King for over a dozen years. The pair took time out before a recent performance in Tampa to tell me how, despite being so far from their families, they still find meaning in bringing a piece of their authentic culture to Disney-loving audiences.
Goba and Cele both began their journeys with The Lion King at open auditions in their hometown of Durban, but their paths have been quite different. Goba began her musical training early, with church singing and school competitions, and was trained at Mbongeni Ngema’s Academy. She says that when a friend talked her into attending her first audition, she didn’t know anything about The Lion King: “I went there for the first time being clueless.”
Cele, on the other hand, says she grew up in a very musical family: “South Africa is just generally a very musical nation; we sing and dance at
funerals, at weddings, at celebrations, in moments of struggle, when we’re protesting.” But she was studying to be a scientist or mechanical engineer when a college lecture introduced her to Heather Headley, Broadway’s original Nala, “and from that moment on, everything that I did was specifically tailored towards making that moment come to life.”
After serendipitously stumbling across an open call, Cele auditioned entirely unprepared (“no headshots, no résumé, nothing”) but impressed the associate director enough with her rendition of “Shadowland” that she was initially offered a role in Australia, before he discovered she was still a freshman and sent her back to school.“I remember walking out of there so feeling so despondent, because I was just like, ‘No, this is my dream,’” Cele recalls.“Three years down the line, they kept in touch, in my senior year … I was offered the contract to go and start in the U.K.”
Likewise, Goba got a callback but didn’t land a part her first time out. “I was so heartbroken, but deep down I was like, it makes sense, because I didn’t have any clue what I was doing,” Goba says. “My second audition, it was much better because someone had taught me what is Lion King, [and] I went prepared this time, so it was kind of easy.”
Both Goba and Cele have previously played supporting roles in New York City, but on the current tour they each get to take center stage in a signature moment. Goba initiates every performance with Rafiki’s iconic “Circle of Life”opening incantation, and even after countless shows she says,“Every time, whenever I have to stand behind that scrim before the curtain goes up, I wish I could just run off stage. Oh, my God, my heart will be pounding so fast [and] I will pray, ‘God, please protect me. Please make sure that the first note I will do is going to be a proper one.’” And Cele now gets to sing nightly the very song she originally auditioned with, an emotional anthem by fellow South African Lebo M.
“I feel like it’s important for young people, especially young girls, to know that it’s OK to be
strong,” says Cele. “I go into [the song] thinking that if I can just inspire just one young person out there, just one young life to follow their dreams … if one life is influenced out there, then I will have done my job.”
To maintain a tight connection to their roots while living on the road, The Lion King’s South African cast members stay close to each other — eating meals together on traveling and load-in days — and to the African expat communities in cities they visit like Orlando.“It’s always so nice to connect with each other and to connect with the South Africans that we meet in these different cities; to speak our own home languages, and to eat food from back home,”says Cele. At the same time, Goba acknowledges that touring America also involves sacrifices, from voice-wrecking allergies to major life events, saying, “We are missing a lot back at home. People, they will die, [and] we can’t even go back home, because it depends where we are at that time.”
Since becoming entrenched in America’s cultural canon, The Lion King has been critiqued and parodied (notably by The Book of Mormon) for being appropriative or exploitative, but Cele says she and her fellow countrymen in the cast endure being away from South Africa for the opportunity to share the richness of their multicultural society’s 11 tribes and languages — including lyrics in isiZulu and Kiswahili — with engaged audience members.
“One of the most beautiful and powerful things about having to be a part of this experience is also knowing that even though we come from a small corner of the southernmost tip of the continent, that is now getting represented on such a large scale,” Cele says. “Even though there is a price to being out here — which is we’re missing out on family time and all of these monumental milestones in our in our lives, because we are here — it makes it worthwhile, because we’re also getting this rich experience, and we’re bringing it to the rest of the world.”

STEAMROLLING
Zen Dumpling barrels through the bellies of the city’s dumpling devotees
BY FAIYAZ KARA
Orlando may not have a Din Tai Fung (seriously, people, what’s the hold-up?) but we do have a reasonable facsimile called Zen Dumpling. Their DTF-style show window, behind which a quartet of dumpling virtuosos roll, fill and fold dough into pockets, is a sure sign they’re ready to fill the void. Lovers of soup dumplings, or xiaolongbao, wait happily for 45 minutes to an hour for the pleasure of experiencing Zen’s delicate, broth-filled pouches. And this being Waterford Lakes, there’s no shortage of places to bide one’s time — The Social House a few doors down from Zen was our waiting room of choice. Oddly enough, the sports bar was a lot more zen than the bustling dumpling house. It seemed that every time I looked up, I saw bamboo steamers — the ones used as decorative embellishments inside Zen’s dining room, and the ones steadily brought out to tables, ours included. The signature “XLB Sampler” ($15.95) presented us with six soupy sacs inside a basket. No, they weren’t as perfectly uniform as DTF’s 18-fold, 21-gram beauties, but they’re
attractive little purses nonetheless. Some are color-coded — truffle-pork is black, chicken is yellow — while the rest (pork, crab-pork, shrimp-pork and beef) aren’t. But pierce their wispy, papery-thin skins and they’ll burst with the brilliance of Zen’s chicken broth. Dip the dumpies in black vinegar and drape a few strands of julienned ginger on top of those dough twirls, and Bob’s your uncle.
The “Fanny’s your aunt” moment, however, was supplied by a beautiful bowl of sesame-flecked chili wontons ($9.95), followed by a plate of dan dan noodles ($11.95). The slippery squigglers arrived without the requisite minced pork and we didn’t miss it one bit — that’s how good this intense Sichuan classic was. And, really, so was pretty much everything else we had — wokky-slick Mongolian beef ($15.95) and its liberal use of onions; a spicy cucumber salad ($7.95) that, like the stir-fried green beans ($10.95), complemented everything. In the case of clumpy chicken fried rice ($13.95), those bold veggies made it so much better.
423 N. Alafaya Trail 407-237-9037 zendumplings.com
Even a couple of dishes that we’d likely pass on the next time weren’t really botched or blundered in any way — server-recommended sweet and sour baby ribs ($12.95) were just more sweet than sour, and the steamed chicken and mushroom dumplings ($10.50) were improved with a slide across the reddened remnants in that empty plate of chili wontons.
BTW: Zen does a steady takeout business, but if you’re considering pickup or delivery and live more than 10 minutes away, you might want to consider, say, the superb pan-fried bao bites ($9.95) instead of soup dumplings, which tend to rapidly cool and degrade. Not that this PSA will dissuade the scores of soup dumpling fiends in this city from ordering anyway.
Oh, and Zen plans to open a second location in Altamonte Springs this summer, spreading the gospel of xiaolongbao westward. To the uninitiated in Seminole County, take note: Zen Dumpling is sure to make a basket case out of you.

Streaming premieres you won’t want to miss this week.
BY STEVE SCHNEIDER
Premieres Wednesday:
Battle Camp — A $250,000 prize awaits the victor of this competition series, which subjects stars from Netflix shows like Love Is Blind, The Ultimatum and Too Hot to Handle to a series of punishing physical challenges. Wish they would open up the playing field to their true-crime documentaries, because you just know Scott Peterson could clean up at something like this. (Netflix)
Bullet Train Explosion — A Tokyo-bound train is wired to explode if it drops below 100 km per hour in a new film that’s a remake of a beloved classic. And of course I mean the 1975 Japanese thriller The Bullet Train. If you said Speed, hang a sign around your neck that reads “I Am the Ugly Gulf of American.” (Netflix)
Carlos Alcaraz: My Way — Documentary cameras capture the watershed tennis pro’s 2024 season as he becomes the youngest player ever to be ranked No. 1 in men’s singles. Meanwhile, Pedro Pascal will always be No. 1 in single men. (Netflix)
A Tragedy Foretold: Flight 3054 — A three-part documentary shows how Brazil was forced to overhaul its aviation system after a plane crashed into a building in 2007, leaving 199 dead. Or as Pete Hegseth calls it, “a slow day at the office.” (Netflix)
Premieres Thursday:
Étoile — In the latest series from Amy Sherman-Palladino (Gilmore Girls, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel), a couple of prestigious yet struggling ballet companies try to stay alive by trading lead dancers. Sounds like a winning gambit, until you realize they meant trading them to the Orioles. (Prime Video)
Vanderpump Villa — It’s time for a change of scenery in Season 2, as Lisa Vanderpump moves her hospitality operation to Italy. Among her first guests there are cast members from The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, promising plenty of scandalous fun. But if you think that’s something, just wait until the Lutherans get there. Some of those guys wear spats! (Hulu)
You — Joe has settled down to a life of quiet respectability in New York as the show’s fifth and final season begins, but the lure of his insidious past may prove too strong to resist. On the other hand, try getting anywhere to kill somebody in that town now that they’ve got congestion pricing. (Netflix)
Premieres Friday:
Fréwaka — A home-aid worker gradually adopts the superstitions of the old woman she’s been tasked to look after in a film that’s being billed as the first Irish-language horror.
I guess that means we’re all forgetting Shane MacGowan now. (Shudder)
HAVOC — Tom Hardy takes the lead in an actioner that puts him in the shoes of a detective who’s gettin’ it from all sides: The mob, the government and even other cops are all on the list of folks who don’t like him terribly much. To his credit, though, he’s pretty popular with Juggalos. (Netflix)
Jewel Thief: The Heist Begins — A con man goes up against the Mafia in an Indian crime thriller that’s clearly the final bracket in Bollywood’s answer to March Madness. I got eliminated in the first round, because I thought the Delhi SWAT team could totally take Mowgli. (Netflix)
Weak Hero Class 2 — Yeon Si-eun transfers to a new school in Season 2, only to learn the brutal bullying there is even worse than what he just left. Sounds like he should transfer to the Unicorn Academy, because the hazing there doesn’t get much worse than the occasional hothoof. (Netflix)
Premieres Monday:
Chef’s Table: Legends — The 10th-anniversary season showcases the great contributions to the kitchen arts that have been made by Jamie Oliver, José Andrés, Alice Waters and Thomas Keller. And in a special segment taped just a few weeks before his death, David Lynch makes a compelling case for replacing one of them with Bob’s Big Boy. (Netflix)
Premieres Tuesday:
Wear Whatever the F You Want — Putting their longstanding feud to rest, Clinton and Stacy from What Not to Wear reunite for a new show that prioritizes personal style over adherence to fashion. Just don’t even think about sporting white after Labor Day, because that’s still grounds for chemical castration. (Prime Video)

LOCAL RELEASES
Ever since the golden rave era, it could be argued that much of modern electronic dance music is psychedelic to some degree. Even so, Fowl Play — the solo vehicle of Orlando artist Joey Spencer — comes from a particularly psychedelic fringe of the genre that favors deep psychotropic effect over packing out the dance floor. A pillar artist of the famously mind-expansionist local group the Jonesy Collective, Fowl Play has built a name on outer-orbit vibes usually more heady than physical.
That modus operandi continues on Fowl Play’s brand-new EP, R&D . The four-track odyssey opens with the dubby, slow-ticking acid bubble bath of “Klaus.” But then, halfway through second track “Switch” comes a sudden record backspin that slices through the digital primordial ooze and drops a funky break carrying the rest of the song into high gear. But keep it up, party people, because the hop don’t stop for the remainder of the EP, even if it does chill out in downtempo closer “Groovtoob.”
The album is a pill-sized complete arc that goes from intro to party pitch to cool-down all in four songs. The language, of course, remains true to Fowl Play’s left-field mutant frequency with plenty of glitch and atmosphere. This is a notably funky outing that’s some of Fowl Play’s most floor-ready material to date. R&D now streams everywhere.
CONCERT PICKS THIS WEEK
Ironing, KT Kink, Strawberry Girl, Black Wick: OK, gorgeous freaks, time to gear up and get out for this one. Topping this loud and proud outsider bill is Gainesville one-man sonic blender Ironing, who’s celebrating 20 years of breaking
Sludge kings Melvins have set their own bar by being a true artist’s band. While their Pacific Northwest contemporaries either died out or sold out, Melvins have achieved underground timelessness through sheer bronto heft
molds and probably confusing a lot of people. Sharing more DNA with experimental music than turntablism, his dizzying live performances involve sound manipulation of vinyl, tape and radio with weird devices and even weirder handling of said equipment. It’s an exercise in musical collage that’s like a Dalí-esque melting of noise act and DJ. Rounding out the bill will be a distinguished local cast including dark electronic siren KT Kink, new hyperpop artist Strawberry Girl and warped sound-bender Black Wick. Hosting and also performing will be Orlando drag icon Sue Cyde. (8 p.m. Friday, April 25, The Falcon, $10)
Napalm Death, Melvins, Weedeater: This nasty double header pairs two giants from different extremes of heavy music. As fathers of grindcore and world record holders for the shortest song ever recorded (the 1.3-second
“You Suffer”), England’s Napalm Death are only one of the most seminal metal bands alive. You know, no big deal.
But sludge kings Melvins have set their own bar by being a true artist’s band. (Kurt Cobain was famously a Melvins fanboy.) While their Pacific Northwest contemporaries either died out or sold out with the 1990s grunge wave, Melvins have achieved underground timelessness. They’ve simultaneously remained true to their ethos while forever pushing their bounds with weirdo experimentation and sheer bronto heft. Maybe the best news for this show is that Melvins are back to their most savage live arrangement ever, with the stunning two-drummer setup of Dale Crover and the almighty Coady Willis (Big Business, High on Fire, Murder City Devils).
Between Napalm Death and Melvins are over 80 years of the deepest kind of hero cred that comes only from pure vision and zero compromise. Add the wicked Weedeater as opener and that’s it, game over, this boss bill wins. (7 p.m. Friday, April 25, The Beacham, $30-$40)
Bengali 600 Album Release Show: Although it feels like ages since Afrobeat champions Bengali 600 have been on the scene, it’s not like they’ve just been sitting around on their asses. Nope, nuh-uh. This weekend, the Orlando band are returning to the stage for not just a regular performance but a full-on album release show. Go welcome the guys back, hear them play the new album in its entirety and be reminded of why they’ve long been the area’s preeminent Afrobeat band. Opening will be percussion fusion crew Groove Royalty and the versatile DJ Frankmatik. (8 p.m. Saturday, April 26, Will’s Pub, $12-$18) baolehuu@orlandoweekly.com

Disney’s The Lion King
The Serengeti comes to life inside the Walt Disney Theater when The Lion King roars into Orlando. Follow Pride Rock’s Simba in this creative stage adaptation of the Disney classic. He’s gonna be a mighty king, so enemies beware! Beloved characters from the Disney film are brought to life with stunning costuming and puppetry against a vivid backdrop that transports audiences right into the Pride Lands. Not only will you hear the classics from the movie’s soundtrack, but the now equally iconic tunes crafted by Tony Award-winning artists Elton John and Tim Rice. The national tour of The Lion King features one of AdventHealth School of the Arts’ very own: 10-year-old Julian Villela. Villela appears as young Simba in his Broadway debut. Catch Villela and the rest of the tour’s cast as they determine who the true king is. Runs through May 18. Walt Disney Theater, Dr. Phillips Center for the Arts, 445 S. Magnolia Ave., drphillipscenter.org, $30-$175. — Juno Le
THURSDAY, APRIL 24
Mayday Parade
Florida’s Mayday Parade are celebrating 20 years since their start with a new record and a run of sold-out shows, including in the City Beautiful this week. Founded in Tallahassee, the pop-punk stalwarts are releasing a new trilogy (!) of albums to make up for lost time, starting with first chapter Sweet, released this month. The band has come a long way from hustling their self-released CDs at Warped Tour parking lots. Sweet is their first album since 2006’s Tales Told by Dead Friends, and it sees the band taking full control of their destiny by releasing it themselves. Their “Three Cheers for 20 Years Tour” is selling out shows all over, and Orlando is no exception. They’ll be joined by Atlanta’s psychedelic Microwave, Philly rockers Grayscale, and the
FRIDAY, APRIL 25 & SUNDAY, APRIL 27
Beatrice + Benedict / Cavalleria Rusticana
Prepare for a heady double bill of iconic opera as Opera Orlando pits Berlioz against Mascagni (though not, sadly, in the ring). For two nights at Steinmetz — a venue made for this — Opera Orlando does double duty on the comedy Beatrice + Benedict and tragedy Cavalleria Rusticana. But lest ye think that you’re going to have to smuggle in snacks for a marathon double feature, there’s an innovative gambit at play here: Both operas are happening in an overlapping fashion, with the events of one harmoniously rubbing up against the other. Two distinct casts — with assists from the Orlando Ballet, the Orlando Philharmonic Orchestra and the Opera Orlando Youth Company — share one timeline and stage. Murder and mayhem on the one hand, plus “merry war of words,” all on the same fateful Easter. Has the opera cinematic universe finally arrived? Various times, Steinmetz Hall, Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts, 445 S. Magnolia Ave., drphillipscenter.org, $29. — Matthew Moyer

Florida Puerto Rican Day Parade
Culture and community converge in Orlando this weekend as the Central Florida Puerto Rican Day Parade and Festival takes over downtown. This year’s parade is dedicated to Aguadilla, a unique and historically rich destination known as the “City of Enchantments,” in northwestern Puerto Rico. Leaders this year are highlighting the theme “Renewable Energy and the Environment” to put focus on preserving natural resources and

SATURDAY, APRIL 26
Science & Wine
The Orlando Science Center’s Science and Wine fundraising gala is back for a 13th year this weekend — and probably not a moment too soon, with DOGE goons having thoroughly ransacked the federal Institute of Museum and Library Services. The evening includes live music, food tastings, wine samples and science demos. Music comes by way of Hannah Stokes, Andrew Williams Band, Heather DeSanctis and Lévie. Programming includes “Sip, Smell, Savor: A Wine and Jelly Belly Pairing Experiment with UCF’s Dr. Robin Back” (unorthodox, but we’ll allow it!) and “Waking Up with Coffee & Winding Down with Wine.” Vittles arrive courtesy of 4 Rivers Smokehouse, Black Rooster Taqueria, Flûtes Champagne Bar, Chuan Fu, Crisp & Green, Dubsdread Catering and more. Fear not, you won’t be blinded by this science. 7 p.m., Orlando Science Center, 777 E. Princeton St., osc.org, $110-$135. — MM
SATURDAY, APRIL 26
Mary J. Blige
R&B icon Mary J. Blige added a handful of dates to her wildly popular, career-spanning “For My Fans” tour — and Orlando was a very lucky beneficiary. This U.S. arena touring run will now close in Orlando and Miami this week. Blige promises a setlist that covers all stages in her career, and she has a wealth of hits to choose from what with a
three-decade career. From “Not Gon’ Cry” to “Be Without You,” bring some hankies, because you will be misty-eyed. Expect a Springsteen-length set (she’s got a lot of chart-toppers and a powerful voice) and top-shelf production and fits. Ne-Yo and Mario are the touring openers. 7 p.m., Kia Center, 400 W. Church St., kiacenter.com, $55.50$270.50. — MM

Mount Dora Blueberry Festival
The 11th annual Mount Dora Blueberry Festival heads back to Central Florida for a fruitful weekend of fresh treats, entertainment, a blueberry pie-eating contest and more. This year’s can’t-miss event for Sunshine State fruit lovers hits Mount Dora’s Donnelly Park on Saturday and Sunday, coinciding with the height of blueberry season. Attendees can purchase fresh-picked berries, dive into a pancake breakfast (served until noon), try blueberry wine and beer, soak up live music and even try for a coveted award while stuffing themselves silly in the pie-eating throwdown. Competitors in said throwdown have the chance to win an official Mount Dora Blueberry Festival T-shirt and, yes, a fresh-baked blueberry pie. Irony is delicious! 9 a.m., Donnelly Park, North Baker Street and East Fifth Avenue, Mount Dora, mountdorablueberryfestival.com, free. — CG

Shred Fest
The metallurgical Shred Fest package tour of North America just kicked off a few days ago, and heads to Conduit this week for the only Florida date. Featuring a gargantuan lineup of Obscura, Atheist, Origin, Decrepit Birth and Fractal Universe, it’s a delightful throwback to package tours of the 1990s that were more a dizzying précis on the state of the underground than a mere night

in 1988, and have continued to gleefully confound expectations and eardrums in the years since. This ain’t no punk, you punk. 5:30 p.m., Conduit, 6700 Aloma Ave., Winter Park, conduitfl.com, $27. — MM

Ruby (A557926), 8 years old, lived with one family her whole life — then, sadly, she was surrendered in the winter of her life. Her family told OCAS they needed to leave the country, and they could not take her with them. So Ruby was brought here, and left here.
The amazing thing about Ruby is that she checks all the boxes: amazing with people, great with other dogs, a playgroup rock star; she’s patient, tolerant and incredibly affectionate. But maybe because she is a senior, at the shelter, day after day, she is constantly overlooked. And it’s heartbreaking to see this sweet girl in a kennel, happy and grateful for the smallest bit of attention.
Let’s get Ruby into a new home.
Orange County Animal Services is located at 2769 Conroy Road in Orlando, near the Mall at Millenia. The shelter is open 10 a.m.-6 p.m. every day except Wednesday, when it’s open 2-6 p.m. For more information, please call 407-8363111 or visit ocnetpets.com.
