Orlando and Orange County mayoral races started to heat up, Maxwell Frost held a town hall in Greg Steube’s district … since Steube wouldn’t, DeSantis egged on his defiant AG, and other news you may have missed last week.
BY MCKENNA SCHUELER AND THE FLORIDA PHOENIX
» Orlando city commissioner Tony Ortiz shed his Republican skin and joined the Democratic Party
Longtime Orlando city commissioner Tony Ortiz, representing parts of the Curry Ford and Lee Vista neighborhoods, denounced his former affiliation with the Republican Party and switched to Democrat. According to the Orlando Sentinel, Ortiz is also interested in running for Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer’s seat in 2027, confirming rumors about a potential run. Ortiz, however, denied that this switch has anything to do with that. In an op-ed shared with local media outlets, Ortiz admitted he once believed the Republican party “stood for duty, accountability, individual freedom and family values.” As the representative of a “diverse, working-class district,” however, the former cop expressed disappointment with the GOP turning its back, in his eyes, “on the very people I’ve sworn to protect.” Ortiz has served as a city commissioner for 17 years, first assuming office in 2008.
» County Commissioner Mayra Uribe launched a bid for Orange County mayor Speaking of local mayoral runs, Orange County Commissioner Mayra Uribe last week more formally announced her own campaign to run for Orange County mayor. (Current Mayor Jerry Demings is term-limited from seeking re-election next year.) Uribe represents a sprawling district covering neighborhoods south of downtown and in the Curry Ford District, and is the third candidate so far to publicly toss her hat into the ring. Her announcement comes after those of Tiffany MooreRussell, who currently serves as Orange County Clerk, and local tech entrepreneur Christopher Messina, who unsuccessfully ran for mayor in 2022. Orange County is home to roughly 1.5 million people and runs on a $7.2 billion annual county budget. Because Orange County follows a “strong mayor” form of government, the mayor occupies a role of executive leadership, overseeing the county budget and all county operations, including the county’s more than 8,000 employees. Uribe, an Orlando native and registered Democrat, was first elected to represent District 3 as county commissioner in 2018.
» Orlando Rep. Maxwell Frost organized a town hall in a GOP-held congressional district
As part of a recent run of Democrats holding events in Republican-held congressional districts, Connecticut U.S Sen. Christopher Murphy and Central Florida U.S. Rep. Maxwell Frost hosted a town-hall meeting in Sarasota in Florida’s 17th Congressional District. That district is currently held by Republican Greg Steube. The Sarasota Democratic Party noted in a statement that Steube voted for a budget resolution earlier this year that could potentially make deep cuts to Medicaid, and that, like many other congressional Republicans this year, he hasn’t been hosting town-hall meetings. “If Steube won’t meet with his constituents to explain his vote, Murphy and Frost will,” the statement said. The two Democrats filed legislation in February to establish a permanent office focused on gun violence prevention in the U.S. Department of Justice. The White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention was established in 2023 under legislation filed by both Murphy and Frost, but was dismantled by the Trump administration immediately after his return to the White House in January.
» Florida bill requiring proof of citizenship to vote failed after angering those on both sides
An election-related proposal (HB 1381) requiring new Florida voters to show proof of U.S. citizenship failed to advance in the just-concluded regular legislative session, drawing sighs of relief from both voting-rights and voting-integrity groups, although for different reasons. The measure arose shortly after President Trump issued his executive order requiring voters to show proof of U.S. citizenship to register to vote. The bill would have mandated that all voter registration applications, including any with a change in name, address or party affiliation, could only be accepted after the Florida Department of State verified that the applicant was a U.S. citizen in one of three ways: The applicant’s voter record indicated that his or her legal status as a U.S. citizen had been verified; the applicant’s legal status as a citizen was matched against records of the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles or U.S. Department of Homeland Security; or the voter showed one of seven ID sources, such as a driver’s license, a U.S. passport or a birth certificate. Critics noted that the provision removed several previous categories to verify voter identification, such as a debit or credit
card, student identification or retirement card. One of the talking points that critics hammered in that debate was how the bill would potentially disenfranchise married women who changed their last names. An estimated 69 million American women and 4 million men lack a birth certificate that matches their current name, according to the Center for American Progress, a progressive group.
» DeSantis stood by his Attorney General’s defiance of federal courts over immigration arrests
Gov. Ron DeSantis is standing by Attorney General James Uthmeier’s open defiance of a federal court order requiring law enforcement agencies in Florida to halt immigration arrests under a new state immigration law. Talking with reporters in Tampa, the governor recently said the episode raises a “larger issue” of who can enact public policy in the United States. DeSantis made those comments following a roundtable discussion on providing property tax relief at the Hula Bay Club in South Tampa. He said the legal standoff raises the question of whether it’s the public who get to decide policy through popular elections or “unelected lifetime-appointed judges.”“There’s a role for the judiciary, but it’s to decide a case and a controversy before you,” he said. “It’s not to go outside the bounds of judicial policy or judicial role and try to enact policy.” U.S. District Judge Kathleen Williams of the Southern District of Florida has suspended enforcement of the law (SB 4-C), passed by the Legislature in a special session in February and signed by the governor on Feb. 13, that gives state officers the power to arrest someone they suspect of entering the state as an “unauthorized alien.” Uthmeier has since filed an appeal of that decision with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit.
‘RESORT FEE RIPOFF’
As unionized Hilton workers fight for pay raises, they point out the hotels charge for amenities that many guests never use — and may not realize they’re paying for
BY MCKENNA SCHUELER
Hospitality workers at Orlando-area hotels represented by the labor union Unite
Here Local 737 appeared at the Orange County administration building last Tuesday morning to bring county leaders’ attention to the resort fees that Hilton-owned hotels near Disney World force guests to pay — regardless of whether they use the amenities or not.
The union called out several Hilton-owned hotels near Disney World that charge what they call “junk fees,” including Hilton Buena Vista Palace, Conrad Orlando, Embassy Suites by Hilton Orlando, Hilton Orlando Lake Buena Vista, Signia by Hilton Bonnet Creek and Waldorf Astoria Orlando.
“Hotel companies in Orlando keep telling us that hotels don’t have the money to pay for the [union] contracts our members need to pay the bills, but we know that many of these hotels,
like the Hilton Buena Vista Palace, are making millions off of resort fees at a time when so many people are sick of junk fees and of being nickeland-dimed at every transaction,” said Ella Wood, the union’s political director.
Mandatory resort fees are charged by just 7 percent of hotels, according to the American Hotel & Lodging Association, and are added on top of the rate for a night’s stay. According to Local 737, resort fees at local Hilton hotels are charged to cover amenities such as kayak rentals, drive-in movies, internet access, late checkout and even public notary services. They do not cover the cost of parking, pet fees or hotel breakfast — which can add an additional financial burden, but are at least optional.
A 2024 analysis of more than 400 hotels by NerdWallet found that among hotels that charged a resort fee worldwide, the average fee
publication. We will add any comment from the hotel brand that comes in as an update.
Escalating a fight with Hilton
This call to action from the labor union comes as hotel workers at Hilton Buena Vista Palace, located across the street from Disney Springs, continue their months-long fight for a new union contract. Their last one expired on Dec. 31, 2024.
Although prices for hotel rooms at their place of work have gone up in recent years, prompting complaints from guests, the union claims that Hilton is pocketing the money without giving anything back to its employees in one of the United States’ busiest tourist destinations.
Hilton Worldwide reported $1.5 billion in net income last year, up from $1.1 billion in 2023. In a fourth-quarter earnings report, the hotel brand projected an even higher year-end net income for 2025.
totaled about $35 per night. Among local Hilton hotels near Disney, resort fees range from about $23 to $50 per night.
At Waldorf Astoria, for instance, located within the Disney resort area, guests are charged a $50 nightly resort charge, plus tax. According to its website, the fee covers amenities such as WiFi access (for up to two devices), bottled water, four tubes at Signia’s lazy river,“complimentary” golf club rentals, and a 15 percent discount on retail at the hotel spa, among other services. The charge isn’t optional.
Resorts owned by Walt Disney World, in contrast, do not charge resort fees, nor do they charge for parking.
“The law here in Florida protects those people from having to pay for goods they didn’t ask for,” Wood argued. “Orlando has the opportunity to help shine a light on these fees.”
The workers’ union (which also represents thousands of workers at Disney World) launched a website, Orlando Resort Fee Ripoff, to inform the public about these fees, and the consumer’s right to request refunds if they’ve been wrongfully or unfairly charged.
Most states in the U.S., including Florida, have laws on the books to protect consumers from “unsolicited goods.” Florida’s law allows consumers the right to refuse them. Under Florida statutes, “When unsolicited goods are delivered to a person, the person may refuse delivery of the goods, or, if the goods are delivered, the person is not obligated to return the goods to the sender.”
Orlando Weekly reached out to Hilton Hotels for comment, and did not hear back ahead of
“Orlando has many hotels, and we shouldn’t scare off guests with extra costs on top of expensive rooms,” said Dale Johnson, a union member who works at Hilton Buena Vista Palace.“I make $10.18 an hour, plus tips, working for in-room dining — and I haven’t had a pay raise in five years.” Of the hotels called out by the union, only Buena Vista Palace and the nearby DoubleTree hotel by Universal are unionized, in addition to Disney resort hotels that do not charge added resort fees, per the union.
“Increasing fees like this is bad for business in Orlando,” Wood told county commissioners. “We want to make sure that the industry in this city doesn’t take workers for granted, and they don’t take guests for granted.”
Wood, and several others from the union, appealed to county commissioners during the Commission’s public comment period.
The union’s national affiliate last year launched a similar campaign highlighting concerns about a “resort fee ripoff,” targeting Hyatt, Omni and Marriott hotels, in addition to Hilton.
Under the Biden administration, the Federal Trade Commission announced a rule meant to protect consumers from “junk fees” levied by live event ticketing platforms and short-term lodging establishments, like hotels and Airbnbs. The rule, announced in December, doesn’t ban such fees, but rather bans deceptive practices aiming to hide them from consumers. That is, businesses would be forced to be transparent about what they’re charging. The rule takes effect this week.
“People deserve to know upfront what they’re being asked to pay — without worrying that they’ll later be saddled with mysterious fees that they haven’t budgeted for and can’t avoid,” said former FTC chair Lina Khan (a Biden appointee) in a statement last December.
“The FTC’s rule will put an end to junk fees around live event tickets, hotels, and vacation rentals, saving Americans billions of dollars and millions of hours in wasted time.”

BETTER LUCK NEXT YEAR?
Orlando lawmakers’ bills to support businesses harmed by construction and to guarantee the ‘right to repair’ fail to pass
BY MCKENNA SCHUELER
Aproposal by local Florida Democratic legislators to provide state grants to small businesses that are negatively affected by government construction projects has been indefinitely postponed. It has been withdrawn from consideration, following the de facto conclusion of Florida’s 2025 state legislative session.
Florida’s 60-day legislative session began March 4 and was scheduled to conclude Friday, May 2. State lawmakers, however, will reconvene in Tallahassee this week for an “overtime” session to hammer out a state budget for the next fiscal year.
Still, all but a select few bills that hadn’t been passed ahead of May 2 effectively died over that weekend.
Among the deceased are bills filed by Orlando’s Rep. Anna Eskamani (HB 215) and Sen. Carlos Guillermo Smith (SB 324) that sought to provide small business owners with an opportunity for relief if their business is negatively impacted by a construction project.
The legislation was inspired in part by the closure of Orlando’s Hammered Lamb, a beloved Ivanhoe Village restaurant that shuttered in January. The restaurant and bar, known for its Sunday drag brunches across from Lake Ivanhoe, suffered losses due in part to the logistical nightmare created by a road construction project that dragged on for more than 16 months along Orange Avenue.
“To the people who have worked with us and made this place a home for so many — without you, this wouldn’t have existed,” read an Instagram post from the Hammered Lamb, announcing their final hurrah. “We’re grateful for every single one of you and the heart you’ve poured into The Lamb over the years.”
The pair of lawmakers initially proposed the creation of a state grant program that could offer construction-related disruption assistance, but later revised the proposal to establish a low-interest loan program within the state Department of Commerce. The program would have provided low-interest loans of up to $100,000 for operational costs of small businesses during disruptions related to state or local government construction activities. Eligible businesses for the program would
have included small businesses with 50 or fewer employees who could provide demonstrable proof of their losses, as well as photo or video evidence of the obstruction in question. The program would have required small businesses to consult the Florida Small Business Development Center Network as a condition of their participation, and would have prohibited participation if the business was eligible for other loan programs.
Eskamani, who’s also running for Orlando mayor, told Orlando Weekly that she and fellow bill sponsor Sen. Carlos Guillermo Smith “do want to continue to see if there is some sort of path forward” on securing assistance for small businesses through budget work they’ll be taking up over the next month.
“The chances of that are going to be definitely, I would say 50-50,” Eskamani admitted, particularly in a state Legislature where Democrats (and progressives like herself) are the minority.
“Everything’s kind of up in the air right now, but I do want to work with Senator Smith to see if there’s any way that we can get support for small businesses through this concept in the budget versus a standalone policy bill.”
Otherwise, both Smith and Eskamani confirmed they plan to refile the bills for reconsideration next session.
“Locally owned businesses impacted by lengthy public works construction cannot be ignored,” Smith told Orlando Weekly in a statement. “I’m grateful to the small businesses who organized in support of SB 324 and helped get it passed through two Senate committees unanimously this year. We heard their call to action, and will continue working this issue next session.”
DERAILED BY INFIGHTING
The proposal for a construction disruption assistance loan program was fully ignored by the Florida House, not earning a single committee hearing. But Smith’s version in the Senate cleared two legislative committees with unanimous support — earning bipartisan approval.
Still, more than three-quarters of bills filed by state lawmakers this year failed to cross the finish line by session’s scheduled end. According to the
News Service of Florida, only 250 out of 1,770 bills (14 percent) filed for consideration this year were ultimately passed by both legislative chambers.
The legislative session was derailed in part due to infighting among Republican leaders, as well as a scandal that erupted involving a charity affiliated with Gov. Ron DeSantis’ wife (and rumored candidate for governor), Casey.
“It was a very unprecedented session,”Eskamani admitted in an interview, “in the sense of the tension with the governor, but it also resulted in things moving more slowly than you would expect.”
Another proposal filed by Eskamani and Smith that garnered bipartisan support was similarly derailed. House Bill 311 and Senate Bill 412, dubbed the “Right to Repair Act,” sought to empower motorized-wheelchair users with access to the information they need to repair their own wheelchairs.
Currently, that information is guarded by private equity-owned wheelchair manufacturers that profit off the current system of restricting consumers and independent repair shops from accessing the necessary software, tools, parts and service manuals they need to do their own repairs.
Instead, wheelchair users are forced to beg the manufacturer for assistance and new parts — a process that can, in some cases, take months or even years.
“I know of somebody that waited six months to get a seat belt repaired on their chair,” said Laura-Lee Minutello, a public policy analyst for Disability Rights Florida, speaking to a panel of senators in March. “A seat belt is a part that you can get and screw on yourself,” she pointed out. “They cost about $20.”
That legislation passed the Florida House with unanimous support from Democrats and Republicans — an achievement that bill sponsor Eskamani celebrated. Still, the legislation stalled in the Florida Senate.
Smith’s version cleared its first committee with unanimous support. But according to Eskamani, the chair of the second committee SB 412 was assigned to — Sen. Jason Brodeur, R-Lake Mary — had concerns about the bill and decided not to schedule it for a hearing.
Smith, when reached by Orlando Weekly , deferred to Brodeur for comment on the matter. Brodeur, sharing a statement through his legislative aide, didn’t deny his opposition.
“I have concerns about forcing manufacturers to share trade secrets with third-party repair shops,” Brodeur said, although the legislation proposed by his colleagues included protections against this. “Beyond that, I have concerns around allowing medically compromised individuals to try and find the lowest-cost repair shop for their Class II, federally regulated medical device. We don’t allow people to have their insulin pumps repaired at the cheapest repair shops either. I am afraid of worse outcomes than longer wait times.”
Eskamani, however, believes opposition from wheelchair manufacturers played a role. “The only opposition to right-to-repair legislation, as you likely know, are manufacturers who don’t
want to let go of the monopoly structure they have over — in this case — medical devices that are essential to the autonomy of people with disabilities who are wheelchair users,” she said. Only one person — a lobbyist for the American Association for Homecare — declared opposition to the Senate bill during its one and only hearing in March. The American Association for Homecare is a lobbying group for the home medical equipment industry, and represents some of the nation’s most profitable wheelchair manufacturers.
“Power-chair owners deserve the ability to make free market choices as consumers, and that’s why we are committed to reintroducing this legislation next session,” Smith told Orlando Weekly. “These reforms ultimately bring down repair costs, shorten delays, and restore mobility for Floridians who need it.”
A SILVER LINING
Despite tough luck in the Republicancontrolled state Legislature, not all of the Orlando legislators’ bills were stonewalled this session. A bill (SB 1514) that will ensure all public and charter schools are ready and able to administer EpiPens before, after and during school hours cleared both the House and Senate last month with unanimous support. The bill, sponsored by Sen. Smith and local Democrat Rita Harris in the Florida House, is now on its way to the governor’s desk for his signature.
“It’s vital that we ensure our public schools understand the risk of anaphylaxis and have a plan, should a child be exposed to a triggering allergen,” Smith said in a statement. “This legislation also gives parents peace of mind that their child can safely participate in before, during, and after school activities in an environment where school personnel are ready and able to administer EpiPens in case of a medical emergency.”
Rep. Harris also secured another legislative win with the passage of Gage’s Law (HB 1195), a bill — already signed into law by DeSantis — that will require hospitals to test for fentanyl in cases of suspected overdose.
More than 5,000 people died of drug overdose in Florida last year alone, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The bulk of overdose deaths here and nationwide have been linked to fentanyl, a highly potent opioid painkiller that’s at least 50 times more powerful than heroin.
Harris’s bill, sponsored by South Florida Sen. Tina Polsky in the Senate, was named after 29-year-old Orlando resident Gage Austin Taylor, who fatally overdosed after unknowingly ingesting fentanyl in 2022.
According to an obituary page, Gage worked as an attractions operator at Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey at Universal’s Islands of Adventure. He enjoyed playing piano and held a “special place in his heart” for his two cats, T.J. and Sheebah.
The fentanyl testing bill and the EpiPen bill will both take effect July 1.

KEEP THAT FRINGE FLAG FLYING
A guide to the Orlando International Fringe Theatre Festival starting this week
BY JUNO LE AND MATTHEW MOYER
Summer for arts lovers in the City Beautiful commences in earnest with the return of the Orlando International Fringe Theatre Festival to Loch Haven Park this week.
The Fringe Festival is an Orlando-favorite annual performing-arts fest, with 34 years of presenting unapologetic arts and performances under its metaphorical belt. This year’s festival is all about embracing the arts and their ability to challenge and inspire, evidenced in its 2025 theme: “Let Your Fringe Flag Fly!”
“Orlando Fringe has always been a sanctuary
for bold, unfiltered creativity, and this year, we’re embracing that spirit with open arms,” explained Fringe Artistic Director Tempestt Halstead Halstead earlier this year. “Now, more than ever, we stand by our commitment to radical inclusion and artistic freedom.”
The festival runs for two weeks, having officially started Tuesday, May 13, with a ribbon-cutting and National/International Artist Teaser Show. But the real action starts Wednesday, and runs through May 26. Fringe features more than 1,000 performances offering everything from theatrical
network and hobnob with other Fringe fanatics and creatives.
“Fringe is a choose-your-own-adventure — and there’s no wrong way to do it,” Fringe Director of Experience Genevieve Bernard tells Orlando Weekly. “Start with one show that sounds interesting, or just come hang out on the lawn. Check out the free music and entertainment, grab a bite from a food truck, and get a feel for the vibe. From family-friendly to wild and weird, G-rated to OMG, there are so many different entry points.”
Performances and events take over the festival venues clustered around the Loch Haven area: headquartered at Orlando Shakes and Orlando Family Stage with their color-coded venues, as well as a consolidated handful of nearby venues.
“This year, we’ve made an intentional shift to centralize the festival — all official venues are located in and around Loch Haven Park. That means it’s easier than ever to explore everything Fringe has to offer, with all the action happening in and around the park,” says Bernard.“We will also have unique, site-specific performances throughout the festival grounds, adding an extra layer of excitement to the Fringe experience.”
plays to musicals, comedy, dance, spoken word and more. Fringe spotlights challenging and original work from scores of local, North American and international performers, all coming together for two whirlwind weeks of nonstop performances.
San Francisco-based acrobatic-dance-circus duo Box & Arrow Circus feature at Fringe this year, telling unconventional stories and celebrating queer resilience.
Their Box [M] — the story of a trans son and his father’s relationship through acrobatics, dance and visual storytelling (and no dialogue) — is San Francisco native Genie Cartier’s directorial return to Orlando Fringe. Her solo show, the Curve, was featured at Orlando Fringe last year and won the Best of Fringe Award at San Francisco Fringe in 2023.
“Orlando Fringe is my favorite. 2015 was the first time I ever came with a duo show that I was doing. We stayed the whole three weeks, and I made all these friends, and I just absolutely loved it. And then for the next 10 years, I tried to find a way to get back,” Cartier tells OW.“With trans people very much under attack in America … it felt like the exact right time to make a show like this. I think it’s really important that we humanize trans people at this time.”
The Fringe Festival also offers up plenty of live and local music, visual arts and activities for the kids — along with plenty of opportunities to
Fringe is as much for the artists as it is for the theater fanatics. Aside from the primary purchase of the $10 Fringe button (do not forget to buy one), all ticket sales go to supporting the artists in their unfiltered, uncensored and uninjured shows and performances. There are plenty of free happenings to take in too. The action spills outdoors on the Fringe Lawn at Loch Haven Park, where local musicians sing their lives and festivalgoers refuel, rehydrate and take a moment to relax between dashing from venue to venue. For a family-friendly, air-conditioned Fringe experience, Kids Fringe is offering activities, performances and fun at the Orlando Garden Club during the weekends of the festival. Also don’t miss out on Visual Fringe HQ, for gallery events and to catch a sight of all the featured pieces, each for sale.
But there’s no glossing over the fact that last year was a tough one for venerable arts shindig. Our own Seth Kubersky posited in his annual Fringe wrap-up that the “vibes were off” amid a slump in audience numbers and tickets sold. Since then, there have been changes in Fringe leadership — and the shuttering of the ill-fated Fringe ArtSpace downtown to focus fully on the Fest — and Bernard says that Fringe Central are aware of last year’s problems and working to fix them.
“We’ve intentionally centralized the festival this year, bringing all official venues into and around Loch Haven Park to make Fringe more accessible and cohesive — easier to navigate, easier to drop in for a show or two, and easier to feel like you’re part of a shared experience,” says Bernard. “This year, we’re leading with kindness and refocusing on what makes Fringe feel like Fringe — a place where everyone is welcome, and anything can happen.”
Fringe started yesterday with the ceremonial ribbon-cutting, but today is when things really get cooking. So check out artists from all over the world planting their particular freak … ahem, Fringe flags in Orlando.

FEST WITH THE BEST
Put in the (light) work of prepping for Fringe, and your play will be all the more satisfying
BY JUNO LE AND MATTHEW MOYER
From rough-and-tumble beginnings as near-guerrilla theater downtown to an uber-popular takeover of Loch Haven, Fringe is fun, but you need to be prepared. For a first-time Fringer, the festival may be rather overwhelming. Here are a few things to know and consider in your Fringe prep and your Fringe play.
FRINGE PREP
Buttons
The $10 festival buttons are a one-time purchase that directly funds Orlando Fringe’s operations, leaving ticket sales to benefit the artists. Buttons may be purchased online and redeemed at any Fringe box office location, or in-person at any of
listed on Fringe’s website, detailing the location, timing and ticket prices. And there’s a downloadable daily schedule on the Fringe’s website to better map out your plan of artsy attack.
Weather
As we’re writing this a few days out for print, it’s raining cats and dogs out of nowhere. So before leaving for Fringe, be sure you have the essentials to combat both rain and climate-changey shine. A hat, sunscreen and an umbrella are highly recommended. If you think it’s going to rain, it likely will!
Accessibility
Aside from keeping ticket prices affordable, Fringe aims to be accessible with services that allow for both the hearing- and visually-impaired Fringers to enjoy performances.
Hydration
The heat in Florida is not something to take lightly — stay hydrated during Fringe and grab a drink of water the moment you start feeling parched. Replenish at the Fringe Lawn between shows and stay cool!
Parking
It’s Orlando, so be prepared for a bloodbath finding parking. All Loch Haven parking is free, but is limited and sure to fill up quickly. The Science Center’s parking garage is paid parking, but a shorter walk to Loch Haven. All Advent Health garages are paid lots and a few minutes away from Fringe central. If possible, save yourself the trouble and avoid driving. Opt for walking, biking, being a passenger princess, public transport or rideshare if you can. It’s better for the environment and saves you a Fringe headache. We can’t stress this enough because …
Lateness
All shows start on time and once doors close, you cannot enter — even with a purchased ticket. Some artists allow for a five-minute grace period, but best not to push your luck. Consider arriving to your venue of choice at least 30 minutes before showtime, and also account for the time it takes to find parking and sort out your tickets and button. If you’re coming from a different show, make sure you have plenty of time in between.
Fringe Lawn and Outdoor Stage
This is the spot to refresh and refuel. Located at Loch Haven Park, here you’ll find food vendors, a beer tent, other beverages and free entertainment at the outdoor stage. The outdoor stage is located at the Fringe lawn, featuring live music from locals, like Rachel Decker, and other gratis performances. It’s the prime spot to cool down, meet up with fellow Fringers and just exult in an art-loving atmosphere. There will be bingo!
Kids Fringe
The coolest kids at Fringe will be chilling at the Orlando Garden Club during the festival. (Can you tell from our puns that there will be AC?) Each Saturday and Sunday during the festival, Kids Fringe hosts free activities, games and shows from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Each day of Kids Fringe is themed, with events listed on the Kids Fringe page of the Fringe’s website.
Visual Fringe
Every piece of art on display — paintings, drawings, jewelry, sculptures and more – at Visual Fringe is all for sale. Visual Fringe is headquartered at Orlando Shakes. Be on the lookout for events at the Visual Fringe Gallery, including art markets, live storytelling and a fashion show.
Fringe After Dark
If you’re an adult and a night owl, don’t miss out on this late-night lineup for the 18-and-over festgoers. On offer are the “unpredictable” game show that is The Showdown; the Wayward Queers Afterparty featuring plenty of drag and “dirty tricks”; the Flashlight Cabaret featuring a variety show lit only by you, the audience, and your flashlights; and the “filthy, frenzied” improvised late show Unscripted.
Special Events
Consider adding these in-house events to your personal Fringe to-do list.
Saturday, May 17
Orlando Independent Filmmakers Screening: Orlando-made short films produced by local talent and Fringe alums.
Sunday, May 18
Pet Adoption Event: Is there a better Fringe memento than a new furry friend?
the venues. Everyone over the age of 12 must have a button to attend a Fringe show. The free happenings at Visual Fringe, Kids Fringe, the Fringe Lawn and the Outdoors Stage do not require buttons.
Box Office
Tickets may be purchased in-person, but it’s recommended you pre-purchase tickets online, especially if you plan to attend one of the more buzzed-about shows. Tickets generally run you $15 per show, and the artists keep 100% of the profits from the base ticket price.

TALAY
The North Quarter charmer brings a different take on Thai cuisine, one focused primarily on seafood.

PASSION PROJECT
Florida premiere of Scott Joplin’s Treemonisha tells an uplifting story of community
BY JUNO LE
Legendary American jazz and ragtime composer Scott Joplin’s lost opera Treemonisha is premiering in Florida at the Dr. Phillips Center, presented by Opera Orlando.
Treemonisha tells the tale of the adopted daughter of former slaves Monisha (NaGuanda Nobles) and Ned (Lloyd Reshard, Jr.). The baby, found by the two under a tree, was named Treemonisha.
Scott Joplin was a seminal figure in early American jazz music, a pianist rightly hailed as the “King of Ragtime.” His rollicking composition “Maple Leaf Rag” brought him instant fame as the 20th century dawned — followed by seminal works like “The Entertainer,”“Cleopha” and “The Ragtime Dance.” But it was opera that became Joplin’s passion as his career progressed. He composed and self-published Treemonisha in
1911, but it wasn’t fully staged until 1972. Joplin never saw a full production of it in his lifetime, but Orlandoans can see it brought to vivid life at the Alexis and Jim Pugh Theater over four performances this weekend.
Starring in the Florida premiere of Treemonisha is Taylor-Alexis Dupont, as the lead soprano and titular character of the opera.
“The main thing I really love about it is that even though this work was made in 1911, it is amazing that Joplin has a woman as the title character and as a leader,” Dupont tells Orlando Weekly.
Dupont finds that there is unique fun to be had in adapting a ragtime opera in today’s climate.
“I think a lot of modern operas in the 21st century tend to have a darker edge,” Dupont
says.“I am beyond happy to be a part of an opera made by a man born in 1868 who had parents directly coming from the end of one of the biggest traumas this nation has seen, and making an opera, not about the trauma, but about joy, about community, about uplifting.”
The underlying messages of Treemonisha are befitting of its operatic presentation.
“The main thing I’ve always loved about opera is the amazing ability to tell a story in all the forms of art,” says Dupont. “It’s a story on a scale that it requires so much work, but it takes a community it takes everyone coming together with different visions, and then everybody not compromising, but building and supporting each other to make a story that can talk to people, even when it’s in different language, it can communicate to you. It can transform you.”
Ragtime music, a piano-led style of early jazz, is beloved for its upbeat, frenetic and ragged rhythms. Dupont finds that this style of jazz — where Joplin made his legendary name — blended into the storytelling style of opera, allows for transparent communication of emotions between the characters.
“There’s one scene I really love where an amazing confession is made about her origins,

and it’s really simple, but it’s just like a line of saying, ‘I love you like a mother and I love you as a father.’ It’s simple but it sparks joy,” Dupont says.
Ahead of rehearsals with the rest of the Treemonisha cast, Dupont had the time to thoroughly connect with her character and her character’s voice.
“I guess because there are so many different styles of music in it, it always keeps me on my toes. Like, ‘Does this feel more like this? Is it OK to sing it like that?’ So moments that make me ponder, question her character,” Dupont says. “Treemonisha is such a core pillar of the community in the opera, she kind of just nurtures from afar, but she’s so integral to the community.” Dupont is a young mezzo-soprano from Orlando, whose interests have always drawn her to the stage, namely musical theater. Things changed when Dupont joined a competitive performing arts program at Dr. Phillips High School.
“My mom got me lessons with this man, Manny Lujan, who was a voice teacher in the Orlando area. He helped me get my little role that I wanted in high school, but he also saw something in me that I didn’t,” Dupont says. “He was like, ‘You have a very operatic voice,’ which I had never thought about, never even dreamed about, especially in Orlando, which didn’t have much opera that I was exposed to at that time. But he gave me some CDs by Denyce Graves and the rest took off.”
Both onstage when she’s performing and offstage when she’s listening to her favorite records by Nina Simone and Lady Gaga, Dupont’s world revolves around music.
“I really love music, any type of music, all music. It lifts me. It gives me energy. It transforms me and brings me memories that I have music. Music is what gets me up, keeps me going,” Dupont says.
Joplin’s message of community in Treemonisha is an inspiration to those well past his lifetime, in this 21st-century world. Joplin’s unique musical voice still motivates and has meaning for today’s talents like Dupont.
“Look out for each other. I think especially now in this day and age, community is everything and building that tribe that will support you, whether that’s teachers, friends, other music nerds and enthusiasts, and maintaining that community, uplifting each other, I think that’s one of the best [pieces of] advice,” says Dupont. “I mean, people can say, keep driving, keep doing this, but the main thing is to keep hold of yourself and keep uplifting yourself.”

LOCAL RELEASES
Decorated Orlando music scene veteran Jeff Nolan is many things. He’s the main brain behind hard-rock band The Ludes. He’s one of the city’s all-time sickest guitarists. He’s a walking rock encyclopedia. And he’s a huge Kraftwerk fan. All these facts are widely known, except maybe that last one.
Well, Nolan is finally memorializing his love for the German techno-pop pioneers with The Ludes’ latest release, a cover of Kraftwerk’s “The Model.” The vast gulf between Kraftwerk’s immaculate cyber aesthetic and Nolan’s gritty hard-rock lens is a reconciliation almost beyond imagination. But Big Black pulled it off, so why not The Ludes, right? The outcome is both unexpected and inspired.
For this feat, Nolan had to take The Ludes out of their usual way — in this case, way out to the Wild West.
“I’d had a notion to do a Morricone Spaghetti Western version of that song for years but never recorded it properly,” he says. “One day I just got bored and put it together.” In the most solo Ludes outing yet, Nolan played, programmed and produced everything here himself, except for the singing.
“I sat on it for a bit trying to figure out what to do with a vocal,” he says.“And then it occurred to me — Skinny Motherfucking McGee!” So he landed the famous baritone of Central Florida rockabilly icon Skinny McGee. “He killed it,” gushes Nolan. “Now it sounds like Orville Peck doing a Sergio Leone soundtrack.”
Orlando guitar rampager Nolan is finally justifying his love for the trailblazing German techno-pop pioneers with The Ludes’ latest release, a cover of Kraftwerk’s “The Model,” complete with a guest vocal turn from rockabilly maniac Skinny McGee
The resulting transformation of “The Model” is dramatic. In sharp contrast to Kraftwerk’s futuristic minimalism, the Ludes’ version is lush in old cinematic aura with long, lingering guitar tones that conjure plains, hills and desperadoes. Moreover, the elemental synth hook at the heart of the song has been cranked up to a beefy rock riff that pushes past Sergio Leone atmosphere and into Robert Rodriguez badassery.
One of the most novel cover versions to come along in ages, the Ludes’ “The Model” is a reinvention so evocative and divergent that it stands on its own. It now streams everywhere.
CONCERT PICKS THIS WEEK
Billy Ruben & the Mind Readers, Sean Moore, Wojtek: Normies have everything else, but this one’s for you beautiful weirdos out there. First, Billy Ruben & the Mind Readers is the bluesy rock & roll project of wild psych-rock experimentalist Billy Ruben (of Billy Ruben and the Elevated Enzymes). Also featured is Orlando psych-pop prodigy Sean Moore, who has recently reemerged with fresh music after over a decade and will be performing all-new material. Finally, Miami’s Wojtek will go turbo on the strangeness with their warped and heavy punk rock. This bill will be the week’s most anti-pop show by miles. (7 p.m. Thursday, May 15, Uncle Lou’s, $10)
Tommy Stinson, Karla Rose, Louis DeFabrizio: Long live Tommy Stinson. With a career spanning from The Replacements to Guns N’ Roses, he shines in the rock pantheon as an underdog legend. Despite major-league credits, Stinson has always kept his feet on the ground and in the trenches. Although underrated, his own projects like Bash & Pop, Perfect, Cowboys in the Campfire and solo work all enjoy cult esteem. This weekend, he returns packing all that for a special, intimate appearance accompanied by NYC’s Karla Rose, who’ll also open with her noirish, slow-mo rockabilly. Also opening will be erstwhile local and Gasoline Heart frontman Louis DeFabrizio, who, like Stinson, knows how to turn ragged heart into timeless magic.

Gatorpalooza
If given the choice between Gatorpalooza and Lollapalooza, we as proud Central Floridians would certainly plump for the former. And luckily for partisans of all things scaly, the weekend shindig is back for a sixth year. Gatorpalooza, included with regular park admission, features live music, artisans and vendors, food purveyors, and their vlog team — you’d best believe that includes OW favorite Savannah Boan — and, of course, getting up close and personal with a legion of unique alligators and sundry reptiles that call Gatorland home. You might call it an “epic” “universe” of Floridiana … wait, no, we’ve been informed by lawyers we can’t do that. But still! Gatorland, 14501 S. Orange Blossom Trail, gatorland.com, $17.50. — MM

Future Islands
After nearly two decades of tune production and one especially unforgettable late night TV
appearance, synth-pop outfit Future Islands have remained steadfast in their musical growth. And now, you can catch them for yourself this week right here in Orlando. Although the group began making and releasing music years prior, Future Islands started garnering a following after the release of their fourth album, Singles, in 2014.
WEDNESDAY–TUESDAY, MAY 14-20, 2025
The LP’s lead single, “Seasons (Waiting on You),” was deemed the best song of the year by both Pitchfork and NME, but what really put the group in the indie pop spotlight was their notably melodramatic late night television performance of the same tune. The Late Show with David Letterman was the place; the height of the 2010s indie re-
naissance was the time; and Future Islands were exactly where they were supposed to be. And Tuesday, Future Islands are very much supposed to be at The Beacham. 7 p.m., The Beacham, 46 N. Orange Ave., foundation-presents.com, $32.50$132.50. — CG

Meet Puptart!
Puptart’s (A568587) story is a sad one. Back in April, we received an email from an unusual source — a concerned Amazon driver. He had been delivering packages to the same house for almost six months, and each time he’d see the same small dog locked inside a wire crate, sitting outside the front door of the house. He told us that with every delivery, he got more concerned. So he made the decision to say something, took some pictures, and sent them to us with his concerns. Our officers responded immediately, and this is how we met Puptart.
When our officers made contact, they were told that the dog had just been left there by her owner. The residents of the home had been feeding her, but she was extremely underweight. The water bowl in her crate was green with algae, and she was shaking like a leaf, very shut down and emaciated. We took her to OCAS, and in a little over a month, Puptart has completely come around. She is still a little on the shy side, but she is goofy, playful and extremely affectionate. She is amazing with other dogs, but her favorite thing to do is play with staff out in the yard. She’ll chase, roll over, run and jump into our laps. Puptart is probably a little over a year old, and we have no idea how long she’d been living the way we found her. But she’s definitely making up for lost time.
