» Downtown Orlando arts program DTO Live secured one-year extension Orlando’s DTO Live, a 2024 initiative to bolster arts and live entertainment downtown, has been renewed for another year, or what the city describes as a “second exciting season.” The Downtown Development Board approved the yearlong $608,000 extension of the program last week. The program was launched in June 2024, in collaboration with local agency United Arts of Central Florida, with the intention of developing free arts experiences for Orlando residents and visitors. So far, DTO Live has funded more than 1,000 live music and culture performances around downtown. Artists who participate are paid a minimum of $250 for a two-hour block of performance. The renewed agreement will continue support for popular elements of the program, including daily live music, “flower flash” floral installations, and a storefront activation initiative that features artist-designed displays in vacant retail windows. The DDB says the project is focused on “activating public spaces, storefronts, and buildings to increase access to the arts for all people.”
» Florida attorney general wants lawsuit over city immigration enforcement tossed State Attorney General James Uthmeier urged a judge to toss out a lawsuit that questions whether Florida cities and towns are required to enter immigration enforcement agreements with the federal government. Uthmeier’s office filed a motion arguing that a Leon County circuit judge should dismiss the case, which the city of South Miami filed in March, a little more than a month after state lawmakers passed a package of changes to support President Donald Trump’s crackdown on undocumented immigrants. The lawsuit centers on what are known as 287(g) agreements, which local governments can enter with the federal government to provide training and authority to local police to help enforce immigration laws. It also involves a years-long effort by Gov. Ron DeSantis and the Republican-controlled Legislature to prevent so-called “sanctuary” cities in Florida. The state’s motion to dismiss the lawsuit said a law passed during a February special legislative session “placed greater obligations on local governments to execute 287(g) agreements and gave them more tools to do so.” South Miami is seeking a ruling that it is not obligated to enter a 287(g) agreement and that it would not be considered a sanctuary city — a designation that carries penalties in Florida — if it does not enter such an agreement.
» More than 100 arrested, bused away during ICE raid at Tally construction site In related news, workers building an apartment complex near the Florida State University campus in Tallahassee were detained Thursday morning by agents from U.S. Homeland Security, U.S. Marshals Service and Florida Highway Patrol. After entering the construction site, federal and state officials asked workers for identification and separated them into two categories, witnesses told the Florida Phoenix. An ICE public information officer in Tampa told the Phoenix Thursday afternoon: “U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement’s Homeland Security Investigation served multiple search warrants as part of an ongoing investigation in the Tallahassee region.” A social media post from Homeland Security Investigations called it a “targeted enforcement operation.” Bystanders protesting the raid told agents they should be ashamed of themselves, criticized them for wearing masks, and told them they are all descendants of immigrants. Standing with them were workers’ family members, trying to communicate with their loved ones who had been detained and asking where they were being transported.
» Rick Scott said he’ll try to ensure adequate FEMA funds for hurricane season Just ahead of the start of this year’s Atlantic hurricane season (which began Sunday), U.S. Sen. Rick Scott claimed that he would personally do “everything I can” to make sure that the Federal Emergency Management Agency is equipped to help Floridians in need. “What’s frustrating is that part of it is funded in advance and part of it is funded afterwards. And sometimes it’s political getting it done afterwards. [With] Hurricane Ian it took two years to fund some of the disaster relief just because of the politics,” Scott said at a press conference. FEMA officials estimate that their reserves will be down to around $5 billion in June before running out of cash by July or August, Politico reported earlier this month. The Trump administration has made conflicting statements about FEMA. Just days after taking office in January, the president issued an executive order
creating the FEMA Review Council to propose ways of overhauling the agency, and he later said that it should be abolished. Trump followed up with another executive order in March saying that it was U.S. policy for state and local governments to play a more active and significant role in emergency preparedness, while requiring the national security adviser and other officials to establish policies to increase the country’s resilience to disasters.
» Animal abusers will face harsher penalties under newly signed Florida bills Gov. Ron DeSantis signed two bills last Wednesday that will increase fines and sentences for people convicted of abusing pets or restraining them outside during natural disasters. Lawmakers passed the bills, HB 255 and SB 150, in honor of Dexter, a bulldog mix found decapitated and dumped in St. Petersburg, and Trooper, a bull terrier a Florida Highway Patrol officer found tied to a fence along Interstate 75 as Hurricane Milton approached. Dexter’s Law, which will go into effect July 1, creates a sentencing multiplier for people convicted of intentionally torturing, mutilating or killing a pet, meaning that they could serve a longer sentence. Under the bill, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement must create, by the beginning of 2026, a database of people who plead guilty or no contest or who have been convicted of animal cruelty. Trooper’s Law will go into effect on Oct. 1 and will make it a third-degree felony to restrain and abandon a dog outside during a natural disaster. Third-degree felonies are punishable by a fine of up to $10,000 and imprisonment for up to five years.

‘There is anger’
Reacting to a recent directive from the Trump administration, Orange County arts and cultural affairs board quietly removes ‘diversity’ from its mission statement
BY MCKENNA SCHUELER
Artists who focus their work on, or hail from, minority communities could soon face a harder time securing government arts grants.
The Orange County Arts & Culture Advisory Council, developed more than two decades ago, quietly suspended the activities of two committees earlier this month that were each tasked with doling out government grants earmarked for projects focused on diversity and sustainability. The Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Committee and the Sustainability Committee each got just a small portion of the Arts & Cultural Affairs budget. But in response to recent federal directives from the Trump administration, the advisory council moved to indefinitely suspend their work on May 14.
An executive order issued by President Donald Trump in January, titled “Ending Illegal Discrimination and Restoring Merit-Based Opportunity,” requires federal contractors and grant recipients to certify that they don’t operate “illegal” DEI programs, with potential False Claims Act liability for noncompliance. That’s according to a spokesperson for Orange County, who shared as much in a statement to Orlando Weekly on the suspensions.
“Orange County receives hundreds of millions of dollars in federal funds to support other departments’ work,” the spokesperson explained. “The applications, reports, and other documents for those grants will include this certification requirement, and it cannot be agreed upon if this work continues.”
In plainer words, they believe a lot of money for local government operations is potentially at risk. Both suspensions were approved in 8–1 votes. Council members also voted almost unanimously to strike the word “diverse” from the Arts & Cultural Affairs Office’s goals and mission statement.
Terry Olson, a longtime arts advocate who spent 23 years first forming and then leading the Arts & Cultural Affairs Office, told Orlando Weekly in a phone call that stakeholders in the arts community “understand” the county’s actions. Olson, a former performer himself, retired from his job as the office’s administrator last year.
“We don’t want them to lose all of the resources that they get because of resisting an administration that seems to have no problem being vengeful,”
Olson admitted. “They can see it happening that, if we use these words, we’re looked at suspiciously, [and] it could jeopardize things.”
So there’s understanding, he said,“even when there’s disgust.”
The Arts & Cultural Affairs Office, a small agency of just three staffers, works with a 13-member advisory council to recommend how county funds for the arts and for cultural institutions should be allocated. The office contracts with United Arts of Central Florida, a local nonprofit, to administer arts-related funding programs.
According to Jessica Evans, president and CEO of United Arts, their organization has an economic impact of $265 million annually, serving 125 nonprofits that have reached 2.7 million visitors and locals across the Central Florida region.
“We are your connection to helping artists and organizations to be a catalyst to create the greatest impact,” Evans told county commissioners during a recent county board meeting.
The office’s budget — funded largely by tourist development tax funds — has grown from about $500,000 at its inception to roughly $15 million today, according to Olson. “We’ve added a lot of citizens, a lot of arts organizations to serve those citizens, and it’s been a very important support for our community,” he said.
The advisory council’s DEI and Sustainability committees were responsible for doling out a small portion of the office’s total grant funds — about $100,000 each. According to the county, those funds will remain with Arts & Cultural Affairs and will be used to support grants not specifically aimed toward DEI or sustainability.
Olson fears that smaller arts groups in the community will be impacted the most. “When government support is withdrawn, who it hurts are the small guys,” he said.
Smaller organizations and less-connected artists, he explained, “don’t have the resources” that larger, more established organizations do. “They don’t have anyone that’s full-time on their staff, and so the DEI work really helps those organizations have some resources to serve their community,” Olson said. “And we want to serve everyone in our community.”
REVERSING COURSE
Orange County is a relatively blue, LGBTQfriendly spot in a red state, with a diverse (yeah,
we said it) population of about 1.5 million people, according to data from the U.S. Census Bureau. Roughly one-third are Hispanic or Latino, and nearly a quarter were not born in the U.S.
The mission of the DEI committee, broadly, was to “advocate for the increase of diversity, equity and inclusion in arts and culture,” according to a now-defunct government webpage accessed through the Internet Archive. Goals of the committee included the suggestion of strategies “to increase equal access to funding opportunities to underserved arts organizations led by people of color” and advocating for the investment of “necessary resources” for diverse artists and groups.
The mission of the Sustainability committee, on the other hand, was to “pursue and implement the long-term sustainability and resiliency of the arts and cultural community, and its place in the natural, built and human environment of Orange County.” Its goals involved ensuring Orange County arts and culture support for environmental sustainability, innovation, and “accessible” arts and cultural education.
Olson told Orlando Weekly that the county moved to create the Sustainability Committee under former Orange County Mayor Teresa Jacobs, as the county began to grow and saw merit in promoting more environmentally sustainable practices across all county departments. The DEI Committee was created later, after the murder of George Floyd by police in 2020 and the national reckoning with racial inequity and disparities that followed.
“The council was interested in helping some of these smaller organizations that really focus on diverse communities to kind of try to catch up with the mainstream,” Olson explained, referring to well-established groups like the Orlando Philharmonic Orchestra and Opera Orlando.
Across Florida, arts and culture is a $50 billion industry, representing 3.2 percent of the state economy. The industry statewide supported 307,615 jobs (some of them even union!) as of 2023.
Still, it’s not just the federal government that has threatened the arts’ livelihood in Florida. Florida’s elected leaders have slashed public funds for the arts multiple times over the years, despite the creative industry’s ability to generate billions of dollars in revenue each year.
Just last year, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis vetoed $32 million in arts and culture funding across the state, affecting every nonprofit arts group that had planned to apply for state grants. When prompted for an explanation, DeSantis specifically blamed the annual Fringe festival, claiming it was “a sexual festival” that shouldn’t be supported by public funds.
“There is anger about that,” said Olson.“Anger that our state doesn’t understand the value [of arts] and will give tax breaks to corporations while arts employees are being laid off because the arts organizations that they work for aren’t able to afford them anymore.”
Under the Trump administration, the federal government has swiftly moved to enact an anti-DEI agenda. According to a tracker from the
Center for American Progress, the Department of Government Efficiency has cut over 700 property leases and grants in Florida, funding things like research into mental health in minority communities, initiatives involving community-based violence prevention, and skill-building for Latinos and Hispanics in the construction workforce. The Trump administration also ordered the elimination of DEI initiatives and programs within the federal government, describing such programs as “radical” and “wasteful spending,” and has sought to gut DEI initiatives in public schools and higher education institutions, vowing to cut off funding for educational institutions that don’t kill DEI programs. Notably, Florida lawmakers similarly passed a law (SB 266) to eliminate DEI programs in public colleges and universities in 2023 — a law that has drawn legal challenges from Florida educators and protests by students.
More specific to the arts community, Trump recently conducted a hostile takeover of the Kennedy Center’s board and moved to cancel grants issued by the National Endowment for the Arts in early May. Since its founding in 1965, the NEA has awarded $5.5 billion in grants, serving as the largest arts funder in the U.S., despite its small size as a federal agency. A 2022 fact sheet shows that the agency’s budget represents about 0.003 percent of the total federal budget.
According to a tracker shared by the Authors Guild, the cancellations of NEA grants have affected organizations including the Central Park Summerstage in New York City, the La Jolla Playhouse in San Diego, the Miami Music Project and the Boston Center for the Arts. The move to cancel grants was swiftly condemned by a variety of arts organizations, ranging from labor unions like the American Federation of Musicians and the Actors Equity Association to the American Folklore Society. A group of senior officials within the NEA resigned just days later.
Orange County Mayor Jerry Demings warned in a recent board of county commissioners meeting that the county may be forced to “reassess” some of its spending in part due to anti-DEI initiatives from the federal government.
“I do see some headwinds based upon some of the DOGE work that is being done at the federal level here within the state of Florida,” Demings said, in reference to Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency,“and the passage of new legislation and executive orders that have come out that are likely going to put all subdivisions of the state and local governments into a position to reassess some of what we’re doing as it relates to cultural tourism and the diversification of what we’re doing.”
Part of what makes Central Florida “great,” Demings added, is “the fact that we have the opportunity to offer this diversity of experiences here.” Still, he said,“With recent executive orders and some directives that have come out, they lack the clarity and the specification to give guidance to what our federal and state government has deemed as to be prohibitive uses of different revenue streams, of public dollars.”

PASS THE MIC
Orlando’s most iconic comedy showcase kicks off Year 14 with a new host
BY SARAH KINBAR
Aimee LeCours, who over the past five years has endeared herself to Orlando audiences eager for her style of comedy, is set to be the new host of legendary Milk District indie-comedy showcase Shit Sandwich. This news comes as Ross McCoy decided that after a decade, it was time for him to step back.
When Orlando comedian Matt Gersting launched Shit Sandwich back in June 2012, he wasn’t just filling an open Saturday night at Bull & Bush Pub in the Milk District — he was carving out space for a more curated and community-rooted style of stand-up. Shit Sandwich was never an open mic, never built for big names or quick hits. It was a showcase for comics who took their craft seriously, and it quickly became a central artery in Orlando’s indie comedy scene.
Over the years, Shit Sandwich evolved into a proving ground and gathering place, shaped
by Gersting’s sensibility and sustained after his passing in 2016 by McCoy, who kept the flame alive while respecting the show’s original blueprint. Under McCoy’s stewardship, the showcase retained its reputation for smart, weird, often subversive comedy, while quietly becoming one of the longest-running shows of its kind in the area.
Now, as Shit Sandwich enters its 14th year, the mic is being passed again. LeCours, whose own stand-up journey has roots in Shit Sandwich, is stepping in to host the Saturday night series. Her appointment came together only recently but those who know the show — and LeCours — see it as a full-circle moment.
McCoy describes LeCours as “the best possible choice,” citing her deep respect for the show’s legacy and her steady presence in Orlando’s comedy scene.
“She gets the core concepts. I remind people that it was never my show. It was Matt Gersting’s show, and I just tried to keep doing the same things he was doing. With Aimee, they picked a good person, and I’m very confident that she will do the right things with it,” McCoy says. “She’s the best.”
Doug McPherson, who handles the show’s technical production, says, “I’m excited for her to take over because she’s shown an ability over the past few years to make great comedy shows happen while also not being afraid to innovate and try new things. I’m excited to see her bring that creativity to Shit Sandwich and hopefully as time goes on, she’s not afraid to try new things with the format and reinvigorate the show.”
That admiration and respect run both ways. For LeCours, Shit Sandwich is more than just another gig. It’s one of the forums where she found her footing, discovered her voice and watched friends and mentors do the same. Now, she’ll be steering it.
LeCours recently spoke to Orlando Weekly about how life handed her this Shit Sandwich.
When were you first approached about taking over hosting duties for Shit Sandwich?
It’s very, very new. The first conversation about me taking over happened on Saturday. Doug spoke to me right after the show. I had no idea
9
before then. He told me it was a done deal just yesterday. So yeah, this is all very fresh.
What’s your history with the show?
I was a fan from the beginning, like 13 years ago. This was before I even started doing comedy. I always thought it was such a great show. Once I started doing stand-up, I felt honored every time I got to be a part of it. I’ve been around a long time, and I think that’s part of why they asked me. I knew Larry Fulford through my husband because they were in a band together. I thought, ‘Oh my god, this is indie comedy in Orlando. This is so cool.’ My husband also knew Matt Gersting a little. I’d sit in the audience thinking, ‘One day, I want to do this.’ The first time I ever did stand-up was actually at the open mic there with Tim Murphy, about five years ago. Shit Sandwich is one of the reasons I’m doing comedy. I have a lot of love for that space and want to honor what it is and what its creators have built.
When and how did you get into stand-up comedy?
I started seriously thinking about it about eight years ago, after watching Don’t Think Twice by Mike Birbiglia. It’s about improv and finding your people, and it just clicked for me. I’d wanted to do stand-up since I was 6, but I had horrible stage fright. That movie showed me you could take classes and work your way in. That same night, I googled Sak Comedy Lab and signed up. I started with improv to get more comfortable on stage. I went through classes there for years. I loved all my teachers.
What are your intentions for the show?
It’s still early, so for now I want to keep things steady and sane. The first show with me taking over hosting will be the 13th anniversary, which is Saturday, June 7, so I definitely want to do something special to honor Ross and Doug. I really don’t want to change much. It’s inclusive, funny, an institution. It’s already beautiful.
I still want to pour one out for Matt out back after every show, if I can. Right now I’m messaging the OGs like Doug and Larry because I want to make sure I’m honoring what they created. I’ll definitely bring myself to it, but I want to be thoughtful about it. These are big shoes to fill. I’ll probably keep booking it the same way Ross does. Over time, maybe I’ll add something small like a piece of music or a little tech touch. But nothing fancy. No need to mess with something that’s already working so well.

BEST AND BRIGHTEST
The Florida Prize in Contemporary Art, a prestigious showcase for emerging Floridian artists, returns to Orlando for an 11th year
BY KYLE EAGLE AND MATTHEW MOYER
It’s Florida Prize time once again at Orlando Museum of Art, and this year’s group exhibition offers a compelling moment for reflection from the 10 contemporary artists selected from across the state.
Even though the local visual arts museum has weathered a turbulent past few years, the Florida Prize in Contemporary Art has never experienced a drop in quality or vibrancy. This year features a carefully curated lineup of thought-provoking and adventurous young and mid-career artists from all around Florida — from Tallahassee to Miami and, yes, Orlando. This year’s featured artists working across media and presenting works large and diminutive alike are Nathalie Alfonso, Eddie Arroyo, Leo Castañeda, Kelly Joy Ladd, Amanda Linares, Kandy G. Lopez, Jiha Moon, Troy Simmons, Cornelius Tulloch and Lisu Vega.
The period between each Florida Prize show, 11 years running now with 110 artists in tow, provides a valuable opportunity to consider the creative shifts and evolutions that have occurred since the previous years. Where are we now creatively? What aspects have changed? And perhaps most
importantly, which artists are demonstrating these changes in their work, not only in terms of style and execution but also in their chosen subject matter?
Considering the current climate in Florida, where the arts are a significant topic of discussion, debate and even conflict; and with patronage of the arts in a state of crisis both in Florida and across the nation, we are prompted to think about the experience of participating in a contemporary art showcase. How significant are exhibitions like this one for the wider public, for those who actively engage with art, and for the artists themselves? Orlando Weekly posed these questions to a few of the participating artists.
The only Orlando-based artist in this year’s showcase, paper artist Kelly Joy Ladd, created a healing space within the gallery walls of OMA, combining paper works and mixed-media pieces — all heavy with personal connections and memories.“There is no other exhibition like it in Florida,” Ladd says. “Each year, the Orlando Museum of Art gives the selected 10 Florida artists the rare creative freedom and space to fully express themselves and explore new ideas.”
Artist Kandy G. Lopez, an associate professor at Nova Southeastern University in Fort Lauderdale, showed off stunning, large-scale yarn and fiber portraits of BIPOC folks that caught her eye, seemingly ripped from some dreamlike, ethereal fashion lookbook or liner notes from an album we need to own.“These exhibitions should be an opportunity for education, identification and growth,” Lopez says.“Exhibitions can be intimidating, especially if it’s a rare occurrence, but being open to receiving information and acknowledging the differences in perspective is key.”
One of the connective tissues that runs through this year’s Florida Prize group is a sense of family, heritage, belonging and longing to be visible. “The beauty of memory,” as OMA curator Coralie Claesen-Gleyzon aptly puts it. Cornelius Tulloch, an interdisciplinary artist and architect, seconds her remarks, referring to a “host of memory” present both in his own site-specific work (paintings and collages housed within and without an immersive environment inspired by the “shotgun house”), and the exhibit overall. “It is an exercise in not just connection but folk, craft and culture,” says Tulloch.
FLORIDA PRIZE IN CONTEMPORARY ART Through Aug. 24
Orlando Museum of Art 2416 N. Mills Ave. omart.org $20
Miami-based artist Eddie Arroyo expresses strong themes on the consequences of gentrification on community and gentrification as a form of censorship — especially in his nod to the broken historical marker that commemorates the 1980 McDuffie Race Riots. “Art institutions had historically presented platforms for artists to share curiosities and concerns. For me, censorship is a topic that consistently gets revised,” Arroyo says. “My interest in engagement is when it is considered justified.”
“My contribution/focal point in this year’s Florida Prize is akin to igniting the Thermidorian Reaction. To create perspective regarding the Reign of Terror within a history of a nation,” Arroyo adds. “One which has been referenced over and over as we continue to move into the future. The circumstance in which this regicide has been placed, through its own actions, and its well-documented consequences. I invite the public to meditate over this, a simulacrum of the now.”
Miami-based artist Troy Simmons reflects this sentiment in his own sculptural work: dayglo industrial graphic stripes that meet brutalist concrete leftovers with slick sci-fi renderings of found objects. “Salvaging part of these places, places that were businesses, places that were homes with love and family that are now abandoned, maybe a crack house now, but the story then and what the story is now is something worth telling,” says Simmons.
The winner of this year’s $20,000 Florida Prize is South Florida artist Nathalie Alfonso for her large-scale and site-specific 87-by-17-foot work LineScape — Onset. With dreamlike green and blue hues that evoke the Florida swamps, with disembodied gridlines that seemed almost vaporwave-esque, the mammoth piece took nearly three weeks to complete and install in the space. But rather than an ethereal reverie, the piece is meant as a personal exploration of the repetitive motions of so-called manual labor, and a reflection on Alfonso’s own time spent cleaning houses after emigrating to the United States.
Alfonso “became deeply conscious of the often-overlooked nature of labor, and of the invisibility of the ‘little hands’ that work tirelessly behind the scenes,” wrote OMA Chief Curator Coralie Claeysen-Gleyzon in an accompanying essay. “Rather than separating art from labor, Alfonso brings them together. Her drawings become performative, due to their repetitive physical action. They are also real endurance feats.”
All very timely ideas in our present moment. The Florida Prize in Contemporary Art will be on view through Aug. 24.

The confluence of Epic Universe’s grand opening and the Trump administration’s upending of trade and travel has raised troubling questions about the future of tourism, both in Orlando and around the globe. To get some expert answers, I turned to Jakob Wahl, President and CEO of the International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions, who granted Orlando Weekly this exclusive one-on-one interview after a recent presentation at Andretti Indoor Karting & Games on I-Drive.
What impact will Epic Universe have on the local market?
We are super excited about the opening of Epic Universe. This project has been around for a while, and now seeing it finally open is fantastic because it encompasses many trends of this industry. I think Epic Universe is one of the biggest openings in the past 10 or 15 years across the world.
We always say rising tides lift all boats, [and] if you travel to Orlando to visit Epic Universe, you will not not visit the other parks here, because once you’re here, you want to experience everything. … Josh D’Amaro from Disney said the same. We expect, actually, that Orlando as a destination will grow thanks to the opening of Epic Universe.
Do you see Universal’s rivals responding to Epic?
Disney already announced massive plans for Orlando and how they will respond in further investing and strengthening the market. SeaWorld has done a very strong investment program over those years. When you look at Legoland, they have done a very strong investment program. When you even look at Busch Gardens Tampa, they also announced a $50 million investment program. So it shows that there
is response from the market, because ultimately, the guests see something and they want to expect even more. Our industry is very investment-heavy. We need to invest approximately 12% to 15% of our turnover into new attractions. And that is something which is very, very important.
Will Disney’s upcoming Abu Dhabi resort impact Orlando visitation?
The world is ever-changing, and the United Arab Emirates, with Dubai and Abu Dhabi, have positioned themselves as a hub for flight connections, but also for tourists. While Dubai is very well-known for luxury beach and shopping destinations, Abu Dhabi has positioned itself as a tourism destination. And that is something which is very interesting, because all of a sudden there’s a growing population, it’s a wealthy population, and it’s very close to growing markets. It’s just four flight hours away from India, which is expected to be the largest country in the world in just the next five years, overcoming China, and that is obviously a very interesting market.
Have we seen political fallout in lowered visitation from Canada, the U.K. and Europe yet?
It is sad that we see a more difficult relationship between Canada and the U.S. And there has been a reduction in demand from Canada in flight seats. At the same time, it is too early to tell. There was early news about March being lower than previous years or Quarter 1. But you shouldn’t forget last year Easter was in Quarter 1, and this year is a late Easter. You don’t really compare apples to apples there.
When you just look at what MCO Orlando International Airport is doing, they have a lot more international flight connections this summer. They have increased flights to Germany, new connections to Munich. They have flights
to Amsterdam. There are additional flights to other European countries. And that speaks for an increased demand.
What new industry trends does Epic Universe exemplify?
It [has] an in-park hotel, so during your day visit, you can go back to your room, freshen up and all of that. We see something which you see across the world, the use of more intellectual property: Harry Potter, Nintendo, How to Train Your Dragon, the Monsters. We see more and more of that. Then we see more food and beverage experiences. An experience is not only about a ride or a show; it’s also about food and beverage, about retail. … This idea of social competing, with Nintendo[’s Power-Up] band, with technology being used, with facial recognition — those are all things which we see increasing, [and] we expect more of those things to come.
We obviously have giga-projects around the world. Six Flags Qiddiya, which is meant to open in the not-too-distant future, will have the world’s highest, fastest, longest coaster, shattering all records. But the interesting thing is that while we will always have those record-breaking things, we see a bigger focus on family attractions, where multi-generations can experience things together. And that is something which we see at Epic, but also in other in other projects around the world.
What’s your favorite thing to do in an Orlando park?
A classic when I go to a park is to buy a funnel cake. Also, grabbing my daughters and riding Hagrid’s [Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure] is fantastic as well. There’s so many different things which I love in this industry, it’s hard to just pick one. skubersky@orlandoweekly.com

SOLID AS IRAQ
Rawsha Mediterranean Cuisine beckons meat lovers
BY FAIYAZ KARA
It’s been a year of firsts for restaurants in this city — our first Kyrgyz restaurant (Chayhana), our first wagyu shabu-shabu restaurant (Nabe), our first two-Michelin star restaurant (Sorekara) and, now, our first Iraqi restaurant. Yes, one of these may not seem like the others, but, unlike the tire manufacturer, I can wholly endorse them all.
In the case of Rawsha, touting“Mediterranean” fare, it was the beef shawarma that initially caught my attention. More so when I noticed the revolving cone of meat was tended to by a familiar face — Nadir, the spit maestro from Toshka Syrian Street Food. No surprise: The shawarma was great, particularly when plated in the “Arabi” style ($20), with the shawarma roll cut into bite-sized pieces, stacked on a plate, dressed with more shawarma shavings and served with a host of sides — fries, pickled veg, cabbage, and both a garlic and a spicy garlic sauce. But that shawarma wasn’t what had us purring like jungle cats when all was said and done. In fact, that shawarma was the only item not done in an Iraqi style, something we learned after owner Abdullah Rabeeah happened to check in on us.
To the layperson, the menu will look remarkably similar to the options you’d find at, say, a Lebanese restaurant — kebabs, hummus, baba ghanouj and the like. The difference, often subtle, lies in the spice blend, or baharat.
“What flavor is that?” said one of my pals after biting into the chicken kofta. “Clove?”
Indeed, an Iraqi-style seasoning that Rabeeah guards closely is used in Rawsha’s ground chicken kebab, but so is citrus — lemon and orange juice, in this case — as well as cardamom, turmeric, white pepper and a pepper paste. It all contributes to one of the most flavor-packed flame-grilled wonders this side of Basra. The chicken kofta made up a portion of a magnificent mixed grill ($35) that included a skewer each of ground beef kofta, pliant beef filet and tender chicken kebab. Juices from all four soaked into a lavash holding a grilled jalapeño, onion and tomato. Tearing off a shred of that painted bread with your fingers and wrapping it around a morsel of meat is digital dining at its finest.
But as good as that platter of protein was, it was the Iraqi kebab ($22) that took succulence to a whole new level. The secret to the lamb’s

ridiculous luxuriance? Why, its own fat, of course. Honestly, you’d be hard-pressed to find a juicier kebab in the city than this. Rabeeah may have divulged the ingredient responsible for its lush texture, but he was a lot more coy about the Iraqi kebab’s seasonings, saying only raw onions, onion powder and black pepper go in before the house-ground mix is wrapped around a lance and fired over open coals.
Like every country in the Middle East, Iraq claims its hummus and baba ghanouj are superior to all others’, and you won’t get any argument from me. I quite enjoyed the creamy hummus and not-so-smoky baba, as well as the lemony fattoush salad. And do as the Iraqis do and enjoy your meal with a pot of Iraqi cardamom tea ($10, or $20 for a large pot).
Many of the eclectic bunch of patrons gathered here, including a Desert Storm vet, sipped on that heady potion in quiet repose. Its calming effects and ability to induce relaxation are proven. So make tea, my friends, not war. fkara@orlandoweekly.com

Threatening his success story is unexpected competition from L.A. Gear, whose products don’t face tariff pressures because they’re made by elves in a hollow tree. (Netflix)
Stick — Owen Wilson plays a has-been golf pro who tries to find redemption by coaching a teenage prodigy to victory. Which seems to be a more sensible way to get back on the tour than dating Donald Trump Jr.’s ex-wife, but I honestly don’t understand golf
unless there’s a windmill or giant pirate head involved. (Apple TV+)
Criminal Code — Season 2 finds our cast of Brazilian federal policemen facing a stepped-up challenge from the criminal collective known as the Phantom Gang. Expect lots of Scooby-Doo chase sequences, and maybe even a cameo by Ghost. As if there’s a difference, right, fellow fans? (Netflix)
Eva Lasting — Time marches on for Colombian high schooler Eva in Season 3, but even more so for her friends Louisa and Camilo, who are now raising a baby together. Which, as we all know, is just a warm-up to the truly hard part: selling it. (Netflix)

Tyler Perry’s Straw — Taraji P. Henson is a struggling single mom with a sick kid; Sherri Shepherd is the bank teller who happens to cross her path at her lowest and most desperate moment.

What You Need to Know About Personal Injury Cases, from the Attorneys at Spetsas Buist
Personal injury law stands out from other cases by focusing on those who’ve been hurt—often in car or 18-wheeler accidents—unlike general litigation, which covers issues like business or property disputes. At Spetsas Buist, we also handle shootings, stabbings, or assaults at business properties, known as “negligent security” cases, as well as cases involving deaths at mental health or drug treatment facilities and nursing homes.
We work with individuals and families to secure compensation for medical costs, lost income, and emotional distress. These cases often come down to proving someone else was at fault and that their negligence caused serious harm.
If you’ve been in an accident, your first priority should be your health. Get medical care, and if possible, take photos, gather witness info, save reports, and avoid posting about it online because anything you post could be used against you.
Even if you were partially at fault, you might still be able to recover some damages. Many states follow what’s called “comparative negligence,” which means your compensation is reduced by your percentage of fault—not wiped out entirely.
People often mistake personal injury cases as “get rich quick” schemes, but without them, safety standards would slip and risks to the public would increase. Without that, negligence would go unpunished. That is, unless the negligence was so egregious that it rose to the level of criminal negligence.
Don’t wait too long to pursue legal help. Deadlines vary by state and can change. Florida, for example, recently shortened its statute of limitations from four years to two.
Personal injury cases can be complex and time-sensitive, but at Spetsas Buist, we’re here to guide you every step of the way and fight for the justice you’re entitled to under the law. With us, you’ll have direct contact with your lawyer. We also offer free consultations and don’t get paid unless you win— no upfront fees!
We’re passionate about helping our clients and building lasting relationships. Don’t hesitate to reach out—we’re here for you.

Florida ska-punk alums Less Than Jake bring their Summer Circus tour to Orlando
BY IDA V. ESKAMANI
Step right up, Orlando. Gainesville’s Less Than Jake’s Summer Circus is coming to town on Sunday, and it’s purported to be a ska-punk spectacular.
We got that tip from a pretty reliable source: Chris DeMakes, the guitarist, vocalist and founding member of Less Than Jake. DeMakes beamed in from his home studio in Tennessee to give Orlando Weekly the scoop.
“Our shows have always been wacky,” says DeMakes.“I often joke that even if we had Green Day money, or we could do huge productions, we would still be campy as hell.”
Whether it be toilet-paper guns, confetti explosions, wild costumes or assorted onstage antics, Less Than Jake is known to entertain.
“It’s going to be campy. It’s going to be ridiculous. There will be a circus theme throughout the show. But on a budget,” he confesses. “I’ve been known to frequent Spirit Halloween stores, yes.”
Last year the band released a seven-song EP, Uncharted, produced by Jason Livermore and Bill Stevenson of Descendents and Black Flag; this mini-album came nearly 30 years after their debut album, Pezcore, in 1995. DeMakes’ home studio is filled with memorabilia from the ensuing decades. “I saved one of everything that we ever released, every sticker, guitar pick,” he says.
Less Than Jake’s upcoming tour is a reflection of that history running through to the present day, featuring ska-punk legends Fishbone and Suicide Machines, alongside
younger faces Catbite and Bite Me Bambi.
The future of ska-punk is bright, according to DeMakes. “This explosion that’s happening with ska-punk again — it’s amazing that there’s so many bands doing it,” he says.
And how does ska protect its independent spirit? “It’s always kind of been underground, even when it went popular for a second with The Mighty Mighty Bosstones and Reel Big Fish and Goldfinger,” says DeMakes. “It wasn’t as big as Blink-182 or Weezer, it just never got to that point. So I think that might have helped the scene. In the long run, it never got too diluted.”
And even though Tennessee is now home, DeMakes swears he’ll always be a Florida man.
“Gainesville will always, always be home,” he says fondly.“I think it was a great place to start a band when we did, because there weren’t many bands doing what we were doing in Florida.”
“Orlando was interesting because it’s such a huge metropolitan area,” DeMakes says, reflecting on the band’s history playing the City Beautiful. “We played Winter Haven, we’ve played Kissimmee, you name it. So I remember Orlando being kind of intimidating in that regard when we first went there.”
LESS THAN JAKE’S SUMMER CIRCUS
6 p.m. Sunday, June 8 House of Blues Disney Springs, Lake Buena Vista houseofblues.com/orlando $35-$90
A proud dad, DeMakes has a lot of gratitude in the present moment. “You get older, and you get to, for me, have the best of both worlds. I can have a family and be a Little League coach, which I’m going to pitch in an hour,” says DeMakes. “At my age, I shouldn’t be laughing that my trombone player is running around with an elephant mask that we got at the Halloween store the hour before.”
During these tragically dystopian times, unapologetic joy and defiant authenticity is not just needed, but utterly essential. “The message of ska,” ponders DeMakes, “ [is] being able to be silly, but also … not tolerate bigots.” To that we say, step right up and … pick it up, pick it up.

LOCAL RELEASES
Danielfuzztone — the solo act of Daniel Fuller — came out of the gate blazing in 2021, spending his first two years quickly making a name in the Orlando music scene with a torrent of releases. Now, he’s settled into a more measured pace as one of the city’s preeminent missionaries of drone. With high concept and thoughtful execution, Danielfuzztone has always been among the area’s more studious acts. Even so, 2025’s Negative Space is a new high-water mark for him.
As his moniker signals, Danielfuzztone specializes in a highly texturized style of electronic music that’s kin to acts like Fuck Buttons. His nearly tactile sonics come via liberal use of hardware like guitar pedals. That’s the lifelong shoegazer in him there. “The only software used is for recording via Audacity,” says Fuller. “Everything else is hardware.”
But without design, all that texture can become white noise. Apropos of the title, Danielfuzztone’s latest work examines and exemplifies how essential framing is. Like the concept of negative space itself, it’s a subtle and fine point, but one that can define everything.
“Yes — definitely more focused than previous recordings,” Fuller says of Negative Space
always distinctive, this album exudes a level of refinement beyond many drone, noise and ambient artists out there. While most of his contemporaries in the area noise scene are driven by a street-art ethos, Danielfuzztone’s compositions are more like museum pieces.
Even more than in past works, Negative Space shows how far a little bit of pop sense like melody and beat can go for accessibility and appeal. This isn’t a freeform noise experiment. It’s a slow-burn symphony that blossoms with more color and range than ever before heard from Danielfuzztone.
Negative Space now streams everywhere and is available on limited-edition cassette through Illuminated Paths. The album release show is this weekend, where Danielfuzztone will perform live alongside Black Wick and J.Matz.Product. Division. (8 p.m. Saturday, June 7, Stardust Video & Coffee, free)
CONCERT PICKS THIS WEEK
Possums, Primal Instinct, Stall, Bianca Dorothe, East Owls: The first thing to note about this event is that it’s a true underground rock show in downtown again. I know I’m not the only one who misses those. The second is that this young five-band bill at Sly Fox will be headlined by the hot-revving garage punk rock of noteworthy Atlanta band Possums. Supporting will be a cast of new locals including melodic punks Primal Instinct, emo act Stall, metal artist Bianca Dorothe and alt-rockers East Owls. (7 p.m. Sunday, June 8, Sly Fox Pub, $7-$10)
Orlando synthesist
Danielfuzztone specializes in a highly texturized style of electronic music that’s kin to acts like Fuck Buttons. His tactile sonics come via liberal use of hardware like guitar pedals, as any lifelong shoegazer would
“Forever trying to get that perfect juxtaposition of drone, melody, texture and noise. Using more digital synths, too.”
In furthering Danielfuzztone’s aesthetic, Negative Space also further differentiates him. While his judiciousness and articulation were
Cetragore, Blood Desecration, Pontifex, Othalan: If you can read the official flyer for this black-metal bill, you are one of the faithful. But if all you see are a series of inscrutable thorn bushes, then allow me: That Satan scrawl there basically says that this is gonna be one seriously wicked rager. More specifically, it’ll be an unholy parade featuring touring blackened death-metal bands Cetragore from Massachusetts and Blood Desecration from New York State. Native support will come from equally evil acts Pontifex from Orlando and Othalan from Tampa. Let’s get dark, y’all. (7 p.m. Sunday, June 8, Conduit, $10)
Period Bomb, Sue Cyde, Dog Smiles: In case you haven’t been paying attention, or are a Democrat: Now is not the time for subtlety. Loud times call for loud responses. Miami artpunk provocateurs Period Bomb are here to push back. With open confrontation to all that’s normative and patriarchal, Period Bomb have always been timely. But in this new fascist era, they’re now essential. Their sound and style are out in left field, but their intent and attack are head-on. Nowhere does this manifest with as much intensity, shock and brilliance as at their searing live performances. Also performing will be alt-drag icon Sue Cyde and Jacksonville queer anarchist punks Dog Smiles. (8 p.m. Monday, June 9, Will’s Pub, $13-$15) baolehuu@orlandoweekly.com

WEDNESDAY, JUNE 4
Whenever, wherever is, at long last, Orlando. Shakira brings her mega “Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour” to an Orlando stadium this week. The Colombian singer and multi-Grammy winner may have postponed her 2024 North American tour to this year, but she added more tour stops and upgraded to stadiums because her fans demanded it. So win-win all around, we’d say. And though so far on the tour she’s fallen onstage, gone to the hospital for abdominal issues, and abruptly canceled last week’s shows in Boston and Washington, D.C., over technical issues, we hope Shakira perseveres. Fingers crossed for Orlando, though. 7:30 p.m., Camping World Stadium, 1 Citrus Bowl Place, campingworldstadium.com, $73-$598. — Matthew Moyer
THURSDAY, JUNE 5
Nikki Glaser
The Hard Rock Live welcomes comedian, podcaster, TV host and actress Nikki Glaser on her Alive and Unwell Tour this week. Glaser, born in Cincinnati and raised in the suburbs of St. Louis, began doing stand-up when she was 18, taking initial inspiration from Sarah Silverman. Over two decades later, the Grammy-nominated comic is best known for her 2016 Comedy Central series Not Safe With Nikki Glaser and her appearances on the Comedy Central Roast series, as well as her Netflix and HBO comedy specials. In January, Glaser was the first woman to host the Golden Globes solo, dubbing actor Glen Powell the man in her head when “[she’s] having sex with [her] boyfriend” in the process. Glaser’s brutally honest approach to comedy revolves around navigating her personal life, mental health and pop culture in a fractious modern world. 7 p.m., Hard Rock Live, 6050 Universal Blvd., hardrock.com/orlando, $39.75-$69.75. — Jessica Batisti
THURSDAY-SUNDAY, JUNE 5-8
GayDays & Girls in Wonderland
An iconic and Orlando-centric LGBTQ+ tradition, GayDays turns Orlando red [Sorry, red-pillers, they did it first!] with theme park excursions, foam parties, pageants, drag shows and nightly parties at SeaWorld and other local venues this weekend. Don’t miss out on a kick-off event featuring Darcel Stevens and Silky Nutmeg Ganache from RuPaul’s Drag Race on Thursday and the Golden Girls tribute show on Saturday, both at the DoubleTree Hilton. For the femmes, Girls in Wonderland offers up a long weekend of concerts, pool parties, comedy nights, Mardi Gras parties and mingling for queer women and nonbinary folks, hosted by Pandora Events all around International Drive and Winter Garden. Various locations, gaydays. com, girlsinwonderland.com, various prices. — Juno Le
FRIDAY-SATURDAY, JUNE 6-7
STOMP
Industrial music-goes-Broadway hit STOMP lands at the Dr. Phillips Center for a weekend of shows courtesy of the Broadway in Orlando performance series. The hit show features on-point singing, dancing and plenty of kinetic found percussion — brooms, garbage cans and cigarette lighters, to name but a few tools. This weekend run is particularly poignant in that this may very well be a last hurrah for STOMP. To wit, when the troupe ended their lengthy New York residency in 2023, they hit the road on a neverending tour that criss-crossed the world. That very tour is now down to its last few dates, including these four shows in the City Beautiful. 2 p.m. & 8 p.m., Walt Disney Theater, Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts, 445 S. Magnolia Ave., drphillipscenter.org, $40-$130. — MM

MONDAY, JUNE 9
Illuminati Hotties
Los Angeles-based Illuminati Hotties are known for a musical energy that bursts into place and effortlessly indie-rocks its audience — their headlining tour stop in Orlando won’t be any different. Illuminati Hotties marry sophisticated lyrics with a sometimes silly feel, culminating in a sound described by leader Sarah Tudzin as “tenderpunk.” They have years of melodic mastery under their belts (their first LP Kiss Yr Frenemies came out in 2018), plus the expertise of Tudzin, who also helped to produce recent well-loved albums by Speedy Ortiz, Weyes Blood and Boygenius. This tour sees the band’s live debut of new EP Nickel on the Fountain Floor. It was born of excess material that didn’t quite make it into last year’s critically acclaimed Power. But we’re no less excited. 7 p.m., Conduit, 6700 Aloma Ave., Winter Park, conduitfl.com, $20. — Chloe Greenberg
MONDAY, JUNE 9
Modest Mouse
Kicking off a particularly busy year of touring, Modest Mouse’s first stop will be at Orlando’s House of Blues. The tour follows last April’s expanded re-release of their fan-favorite early 2000s alt-rock gem Good News for People Who Love Bad News. Formed in 1993 in Issaquah, Washington, and now based in Portland, Oregon, Modest Mouse have long been a staple of the Pacific Northwest indie scene. Their sound ranges from post-punk–influenced tracks inspired by Pixies to the psych-pop stylings of bands like Flaming Lips. The band reached mainstream success in 2004 with the hit single “Float On.” Modest Mouse’s packed schedule is not exclusive to tour dates — in September, their inaugural Psychic Salamander Festival happens with a lineup featuring Courtney Barnett, Built to Spill and Sleater-Kinney joining them. (Not to mention their own themed cruise happening next year!)
The show features support from Doug Martsch, lead singer and guitarist for Built to Spill, who will accompany Modest Mouse during their fall touring leg. 7 p.m., House of Blues, Disney Springs, Lake Buena Vista, houseofblues.com, $44.50$125. — Lola Fontanez

There are only two Florida dates on this run — Miami and Orlando — and Posty’s nightly setlists are a mix of old faves and newer songs from country-curious recent album F-1 Trillion. Yee-haw, everyone. 7:30 p.m., Camping World Stadium, 1 Citrus Bowl Place, campingworldstadium.com, $45.50-$345. — MM

Meet King!
King (A562081) is a sweet 3-yearold boy who suffered from barrier reactivity. King has been at our shelter since December, and is one of our unofficial longest residents. He recently spent some time in foster care, and this is what his foster had to say about this sweet boy: “King was excellent in the home! Very well potty-trained, able to hold it overnight and for extended periods of time with us out of the house. He was very kind and gentle with small children, letting them pet him all over. They were small children, so they did pull on his ears and lips, but he didn’t show any signs of aggression despite rough play with the kids! Extremely cuddly; listened well to sit, stay and come commands; very rarely barked. Overall, he is an incredibly sweet and calm dog with so much love to give.”
In the months that he’s been with us, his barrier reactivity has improved, but sadly, he continues to be overlooked. So day after day, King sits here waiting to be given that second chance. The chance to prove that he is a good dog. That he has a big heart to give. That all he wants is the love of a good owner. King doesn’t need a castle or a huge yard. All he needs is a little attention and a little love. All he wants is to be a part of your life.
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 407-836-3111 or visit ocnetpets.com.
