Two weeks ago, our cover story reported on the struggles that Central Florida brewers are facing to stay afloat with their doors largely closed and no end in sight of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic (“Central Florida breweries struggle to stay solvent,” July 29). Brewery taprooms, while not exactly bars, got lumped in with bars and nightclubs when Florida ordered all businesses of that type to close back in June. Since then, a once-vibrant brewing scene here in Florida is struggling to stay afloat, with breweries trying everything they can to survive. @Stephen Anthony Trampe Agreed, it’s disgusting to see the lines at Starbucks, Chik-Fil-A, etc. – when local businesses need support. People claim to be all about supporting small business but they really don’t care. It’s sad. Won’t be many left after this. @Dan Kaye I’m doing what I can by buying local beer and shunning chain restaurants but sadly I’m only one drunk man. @Calin Baldea This closure has been a shit-show, orchestrated by an incompetent state government. I really hope the morons leading this state come up with a
CLAYTOONZ
solution before these people start losing their businesses through no fault of their own. @Oniluap Lenn The government should’ve helped these small businesses when they required them to close. @Manuel Gomez I don’t know anything about the business but, is there a way they can reinvent themselves? Like distributing their products to ABC and Total Wine. Do they have to apply for a license just for that? Or can they do it with the licenses they already have? I know it will mean more operating costs for them but it is an option. @Lizette Cortes de Ruppert Terrible! So many fantastic local, good restaurants suffering this idiotic pandemic. @Nader Rashid It’s expensive to shop local when times are hard. In my case not the beer, but my own entertainment and hobbies. @Stephen Cagnina People need to stop supporting the chains. We have plenty of small local places open. Last week we covered a rather unpopular interview that Mayor Buddy
BY CLAY JONES
Dyer gave on ABC News, in which he said that he’s “not sure how we bring bars back” until after a coronavirus vaccine is developed (Aug. 5). Though later clarified by the Mayor’s office as an off-the-cuff statement, it underlines the economic struggles that local bar owners are facing here in Orlando and elsewhere, and their need for federal and state economic relief. @Vanessa Blakeslee Why this overreaching edict, when so many FL bars have outdoor spaces? Businesses will go bankrupt, the arts and culture will die out, and this will also drive underground/backyard parties. Think of how speakeasies emerged in the 1920s. The desire to drink and gather, especially under so much stress, will still be there. Just no revenue, lost jobs and a ruined tax base. @Christie Papa Though the Mayor’s office later clarified that the he was just speaking for himself in the interview and not issuing any official policy, this is just more bad news for local businesses trying to stay afloat during the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. @Peter A. Silva Go ahead and keep buying into the mainstream media fear mongering. While your city collapses around you. But then again that might be what you’re aiming for. Don’t count on any government assistance. Because NY did and they got shot down. So go ahead and continue to bury yourself there Buddy. Election will prove differently for you. @Andy Andris You demand better from your governor and president, Buddy, that’s what you do. I don’t NEED to go to a bar right now, but those are someone’s livelihood, so our government needs to do a better job figuring this BS out and stop making small businesses and people who rely on those small businesses for work, suffer. Corporations got bailed out and they STILL downsized or “laid off” employees. Unacceptable. Our state and federal governments have SUCKED during this whole pandemic, while we suffer. Stop making excuses and wondering how we’re going to overcome this and get a plan in place. Or we will systematically vote all of the elected officials out of office. @Naomi Renee They need to figure out how they think it’s safe for kids to be in school for up to seven periods, but not adults in a bar. orlandoweekly.com

THE LAST THROES OF THE TRUMP REGIME Expect the worst, and a lot of it. BY JE FFREY C. BILL M A N
If the last four years have taught us
anything, it’s that Donald Trump is preternaturally reactive and impulsive. There are no grand Machiavellian schemes to divert attention when things go south, even if they work out that way on occasion. If you blindfold me, point me in the general direction of a dartboard, and give me enough darts – maybe 100, maybe 1,000, maybe 10,000 – I will eventually hit a bulls-eye; that doesn’t mean I know what I’m doing. When his poll numbers hit the skids, Trump – being reactive and impulsive – reacts impulsively, leading to a greater-than-normal torrent of the outrages that have defined his presidency. And as the campaign enters the home stretch with the president flailing, it was inevitable that he’d show his whole ass in ways big and small. I won’t belabor the stories that have dominated recent news cycles: Trump’s WTF interview with Axios’ Jonathan Swan; his postmaster general’s effort to slow mail delivery ahead of the election; his paramilitary invasion of Portland; his TikTok ban, which might be retribution for teenagers pranking him; his remark that Joe Biden, a devout Catholic, would “hurt God” if elected, which is probably news to the deity in whom the pussy-grabber-in-chief now professes belief; his team’s bumbling negotiations over a stimulus package, which will likely end – by design, I suspect – with the president (illegally) extending unemployment benefits via executive order in a transparent attempt to make himself the hero of a dysfunctional Washington. 8
As the election nears, these stories will come fast and furious. Trump and his allies will say and do outlandish things to drag Biden and create media storms. Already, despite the pandemic and economic crisis, Senate Republicans have found time to launch a new “investigation” into Hunter Biden and Burisma, using “evidence” cooked up by Russia-connected Ukrainians and laundered through Rudy Giuliani. In the background, however, the Trump administration continues to make real policy decisions with real human consequences that often receive little or no notice, the constant chaos providing cover for the destruction. A few examples: • U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services introduced what Washington Post writer Catherine Rampell aptly described as a Kafka-esque policy to reject visa or green card applications if a person doesn’t fill in all the fields on an application, even if those fields don’t apply to them. For instance, if you don’t have a middle name, and you leave the space for “middle name” blank instead of writing “N/A,” your application gets tossed. Worse, some spaces on the online USCIS application form don’t allow you to type in “N/A” or “None.” Immigration attorneys began doing it by hand. So USCIS extended the policy to documents that law enforcement or medical officials have to fill out, as they’re not always fastidious about these things. • The administration is using the pandemic to bypass anti-trafficking laws and a decades-old court order govern-

ing the care of migrant children. Instead of being sent to government shelters and placed with sponsor homes, kids are now carted off by private contractors to hotels before being deported. It’s a “shadow system in which there’s no accountability for expelling very young children,” an attorney at the National Center for Youth Law told the Associated Press. • The Census Bureau will end its constitutionally mandated decennial count a month early, meaning Latinx, Black, Asian American and Native American populations will be undercounted – and whites overcounted – as the country reallocates congressional districts and federal resources. We’ll be stuck with this rigged count for a decade. • The Department of Housing and Urban Administration quietly – at first – gutted an Obama-era policy designed to combat longstanding segregation by requiring local governments to show that they were providing fair, affordable housing to receive federal housing funds. HUD deemed the policy a “waste of time” and decided local governments could “self-certify” instead. The move only received wider attention a week later, when the president said the quiet part out loud, assuring (white) suburbanites that he wouldn’t let “low-income” housing into their neighborhoods. • The Trump administration will almost certainly fail to renew a nuclear arms-control pact with Russia, as Moscow and Beijing have rejected the administration’s demand that China – which has a much smaller arsenal but is the focus of the president’s election-year ire – be included as well. The Russians have said they would unconditionally extend the existing treaty, negotiated by President Obama in 2010. Trump has refused. If the New START Treaty isn’t finalized by February, there will be no restrictions on Russia’s nuclear weapons. • If Democrats win Congress and the White House in November, the Congressional Review Act will allow them to overturn rules made at the end of Trump’s presidency. So with the clock ticking, the administration is furiously scaling back regulations on fuel efficiency standards, air pollution emitted by power plants, and pollution in waterways and wetlands. Meanwhile, it’s rolling out the red carpet for oil drilling, logging and mining operations, relaxing liquefied natural gas standards, and – why not? – removing dams in the Pacific Northwest that protect threatened salmon. Once entrenched, these rules will take years to reverse. I could go on, but you get the idea. For the 80-plus days until the election, the administration can keep chipping away at environmental protections and civil rights rules and enact more immigration roadblocks, things likely to stay just below the radar. But if Trump is defeated, all bets are off. A wounded and unstable president who’s demonstrated a vindictive streak and shown little regard for democratic norms would have 78 days until the inauguration with nothing to lose and the same powers he has now. He could pardon his friends. He could sic Homeland Security agents on cities that opposed him. He could have the Justice Department investigate conspiracy theories about the election and undermine its integrity. He could start a war. He could launch a nuke. He could tear the country apart out of spite. The point is, the last throes of a regime are often its most dangerous. Expect the worst – and a lot of it. feedback@orlandoweekly.com

NEW NE WS THIS YEAR’S STATE ATTORNEY CANDIDATES OFFER VOTERS A REAL CHOICE. Don’t skip this race on your ballot on Aug. 18 BY O RLANDO WEEK LY ED I TOR S
T
he State Attorney for Florida’s 9th Judicial Circuit, Aramis Ayala, often describes her position by saying she is not the boss of the police, but she does grade their homework. As the prosecutor for Orange and Osceola counties, she is one of our region’s chief law enforcement officers, deciding which cases are prosecuted in court, and even how those decisions are made. The state attorney depends on the integrity of local policing to build solid criminal cases against defendants. Some Central Florida police officers have already received failing grades from Ayala in July, when she took the unprecedented step of releasing the names of officers with ethical or criminal complaints, usually a private document (aka the “Brady Alert List”) disclosed only in trials. Ayala, the first elected Black prosecutor in Florida’s history, is perhaps most widely known for her 2017 decision to discontinue seeking the death penalty in prosecuting capital crimes. Then-Gov. Rick Scott responded by removing 29 murder cases from Ayala’s oversight. Ayala challenged Scott’s action to the Florida Supreme Court, but his case reassignments were upheld. Ayala’s name does not appear on the ballots mailed out to voters last week, the first votes to be counted toward the Aug. 18 primary election. Citing her conflict with the death penalty, which was ruled constitutional in Florida after Ayala’s election, she chose to step down at the end of her term. That leaves four serious contenders to replace her at the start of 2021. Democratic voters have four choices on the Aug. 18 primary ballot:
The winner is all but guaranteed to become the next state attorney, as the nominee will face only a non-partyaffiliated candidate, Jose Torroella, on the Nov. 3 ballot. Only Democrats can vote in the Aug. 18 primary, about 40 percent of eligible voters – meaning Democrats alone will determine the winner, due to Florida’s ridiculous closed-primary laws. This particular partisan dimension, in a year dominated by Black Lives Matter headlines, makes this field of choices even more compelling. Will Democratic voters choose an experienced prosecutor, a progressive reformer or even a former chief judge? We asked the four Democratic candidates questions about six important issues. In print, we present two responses from each candidate; their complete responses can be seen on our website.
• Deborah Barra, the 9th Circuit’s current chief assistant state attorney
4) Police Accountability: How will you hold police officers accountable who are violent, break the law, or violate the public’s trust? If elected, will you continue releasing the office’s “Brady Alert List” of ethically compromised police officers?
• Monique Worrell, former head of the 9th Circuit state attorney’s Conviction Integrity Unit, and current lead attorney for a national justice-reform group
THE QUESTIONS: 1) Death Penalty: What is your position on the death penalty itself, and if you are elected, do you plan to seek the death penalty in capital cases? 2) Corruption: How do you plan to prosecute public corruption and financial crimes? Where do you see the most need for these types of prosecutions now? Will you continue the office’s practice of sending Sunshine Law complaints to the FDLE, or will you handle them locally? 3) Prosecutorial Experience: How important is prosecutorial experience to the success of a state attorney? What unique experience will you bring to the role?
• Belvin Perry Jr., a former prosecutor and the 9th Circuit’s former chief judge
5) Systemic Racism: What is your position on the Black Lives Matter movement? How do you see your election as a way to fight systemic racism and advance criminal justice reform in policing and our courts?
• Ryan Williams, a prosecutor handling death penalty cases in the neighboring 5th Circuit
6) Drug Prosecution: Do you plan to reduce or eliminate arrests for minor drug crimes, such as those for possession of marijuana?
THE CANDIDATES: Deborah Barra Police Accountability I will prosecute anyone who breaks the law. It doesn’t matter if that person is wearing a uniform. I have personally prosecuted 3 police officers and I believe I am one of a few people in the entire country that can say I successfully prosecuted a cop at trial for shooting into the home of an innocent family. I believe the State Attorney should lead by example. My prosecutors will have zero tolerance for police misconduct. I am currently a member of the Brady committee and I will continue releasing the Brady Alert List. Systemic Racism I support the movement and believe it’s long overdue. It’s great seeing the public become informed about policing and racism and I believe it’s going to lead to real change. The State Attorney has discretion on which cases to move forward to formal prosecution. I believe our job is to call out bad behavior, prosecute when necessary and drop cases when necessary. Our number one responsibility is to do the right thing. I don’t care if that means we drop 20 cases in a row. If that’s the right thing to do, we do it. We also serve as persuasive voice to the legislature. Statute 112 (commonly referred to as the Officer’s Bill of Rights) needs to be changed because it makes it difficult for police departments to fire bad cops. I will advocate for this change.
Monique Worrell Police Accountability As the next State Attorney, I will begin prosecuting police officers at the first instances of misconduct, such as assault, battery, planting evidence, or falsifying statements. Additionally, I am committed to releasing the office’s Brady Alert List, commonly referred to as the “do-not-call” list. Furthermore, without acknowledging and supporting the Black Lives Matter movement, we are not fully and effectively addressing the issue of police accountability. CONTINUED ON PAGE 17

I fully support the Black Lives Matter movement and believe it is the responsibility of every elected official to not only understand the changes the movement is calling for, but also owning the responsibility of incorporating those changes into each of our offices. With the Black Lives Matter movement at the forefront of my focus, along with principals of equality, equity and fairness, under my leadership the State Attorney’s office will presumptively not rely on testimony from any officer who: • Has made racist, xenophobic, or sexist comments with witnesses or on social media; • Has engaged in criminal conduct involving deceit or untruthfulness; • Is the subject of an on-going criminal investigation; • Has improperly manipulated or planted evidence; • Has a history of repeatedly failing to activate a body camera following department policy, particularly in cases where a person has been injured or alleged their rights were violated; • Has intentionally engaged in untruthfulness or deception regarding facts in a report, statement, or testimony at a hearing or other official proceeding or investigation; or • Has intentionally engaged in untruthfulness concerning the on-duty conduct of the officer or others. Drug Prosecution I plan to eliminate the incarceration for minor drug crimes, such as possession of marijuana. Additionally, I believe that it is time to end the “war on drugs” narrative and begin looking to alternate sentencing to address addiction head-on. History shows us that we cannot incarcerate our way out of addiction. Ninety-five percent of incarcerated addicts will return to substance abuse after their release from prison. Sixty to eighty percent of them will commit new crimes, and others will either develop or continue an addiction while in prison due to access to smuggled drugs. Looking specifically at Orange and Osceola counties over the past two years, the 9th Circuit State Attorney’s Office has sent nearly 549 non-violent offenders convicted of drug-related offenses to more than 2300 years of prison time plus one life sentence. Meaning, using our current approach, we have potentially created 549 more dangerous offenders with more substantial substance addictions. Without treatment that addresses the real issues, offenders often end up caught in a cycle of substance abuse, crime, and incarceration. Continuing to perpetuate this cycle does not make victims whole, address the cause of the crime committed, or make our community safer. My solution is to incorporate rehabilitation programs and services in place of a prison sentence, when appropriate, using incarceration as an absolute last resort.
Belvin Perry, Jr.
Ryan Williams
Corruption Cases Under the laws of the State of Florida, the State Attorney is constitutionally charged with the responsibility of prosecuting all violations of the law. Under my administration, public corruption crimes will be investigated and prosecuted by my Special Prosecution Unit. Complex financial crimes will also be handled by that unit. The Sunshine Law Complaints will still be handled by FDLE until there are adequate resources in place to staff a full time unit in State Attorney Office. If additional information is needed to supplement Sunshine Law Complaints investigation then we would use our very limited in house investigators. The success of any office is depended upon adequate funding by the State of Florida. Prosecutorial Experience A State Attorney must be someone with criminal trial experience, administrative experience, management experience including budget management, experience in working with the other branches of government, building relationship within the community and the criminal justice community. I have prosecuted every type of criminal case, including murder as an Assistant State Attorney for twelve years. I rose through the ranks of the State Attorney’s office to become the Chief Assistant State Attorney. As Chief Assistant State Attorney I managed the day to day operations of the office, including but not to limited to the hiring, budget management and the trying of the most infamous case on behalf of the State of Florida. I served as Chief Judge of this circuit for eighteen of my twenty-five years on the bench. As Chief Judge, I managed the third largest court system in the State of Florida with over two-hundred plus employees and sixty-five judges. The two county circuits had combined budgets of approximately $30 million dollars. As Chief Judge, I oversaw advances in technology and improved services for victims of crime. I was appointed by the Chief Justice of the Florida Supreme Court to head up the Florida Innocence Commission that studied the causes of wrongful convictions and made recommendations to avoid wrongful convictions. I led the crusade and initiatives to stop the cycles of crime, poverty and wasted tax dollars by working with programs that dealt with homelessness, the mentally ill and struggling veterans. I served on the Trial Court Budget Commission from its creation until my retirement. I also served as Chair of the Trial Court Budget Commission for four years, appointed by two Chief Justices of the Florida Supreme Court. The Trial Court Budget Commission (“TCBC”) was charged with the responsibility of managing and allocating the $200 million budget of the Trial Courts of Florida. I also served on the lobbying team of the TCBC.
Death Penalty My personal position is that the death penalty is appropriate in some rare circumstances when called for by the law. The law in Florida, reaffirmed by the Florida Supreme Court in its decision in Ayala v. Scott, is that an elected State Attorney must at least consider seeking the death penalty in those circumstances and cases where it might be appropriate for First Degree Murder. I plan to seek the death penalty in accordance with our laws and in those rare circumstances where multiple aggravating factors are present and can be proven beyond a reasonable doubt. This means only that a jury comprised of a fair cross-section of our community will be permitted to recommend this penalty to an elected, circuit court judge if there is a conviction for murder. However, I am exceptionally cognizant of Florida’s capacity for getting these decisions wrong and for the disparate use of this punishment on Black and brown members of our community. I will use that awareness to ensure we do not make the same mistakes going forward regardless of public sentiment. Prosecutorial Experience Prosecutorial experience is vital to the success of a State Attorney, so much so that I believe it would be very difficult to have success as the elected state attorney without this experience. The elected State Attorney will lead more than 160 prosecutors who will look for him or her to set the standard for their behavior in and out of the courtroom, legally and ethically. While it is possible for someone with no prosecutorial experience to establish and communicate a standard, those prosecutors – who are underpaid, overworked, and difficult to retain – are much less likely to follow a leader who cannot empathize with struggles that come with their role. The office and the demands on prosecutors need leadership by example. Beyond leadership, innovation and solving the problems confronting our criminal justice system, including reforming it to make it more fair, call for an understanding of the role of the prosecutor and how that role interacts with our components of that system. That understanding will inform the State Attorney on what works and what does not and what alternatives exist. I am the most experienced courtroom prosecutor amongst all of the candidates, having tried more than 160 cases to a jury in my career that includes more than 30 murder trials and 30 cases involving sex crimes and child abuse. I have handled the most serious and high-profile cases in Orange and Osceola County and done so not just with success, but with integrity and professionalism. My work in the courtroom will set the standard for the office, but so will my management experience as the Intake Bureau Chief responsible for overhauling the way the office receives and charges cases. I have worked with recent success in both trying cases and managing the apparatus of the office and I believe I am the only candidate who can say that.

Mira Lehr creates art with gunpowder, rope, mirrors – whatever it takes to draw our attention to the slow-motion disaster unfolding in our warming seas BY SETH KU BER SKY
A
t the beginning of this year – if you can remember back that far – our planet’s rapidly accelerating climate crisis was on the front page of every newspaper, and the opening of artist-activist Mira Lehr’s environmentally themed solo exhibition High Water Mark brought national attention to Orlando’s Mennello Museum of American Art with glowing coverage in the New York Times. Then along came 2020, and climate change was pushed out of the headlines by the pandemic and racial protests. But for Lehr, who contributed to Buckminster Fuller’s influential World Game over 50 years ago, that makes this the perfect time to turn our attention back towards what’s happening with Mother Earth. And so, while many Central Florida cultural institutions remain closed, the Mennello has reopened its doors to once again share Lehr’s urgent vision with patrons, and the exhibition has been extended through September. When I first interviewed Lehr in January, she shared how rising sea levels had the climate crisis literally lapping at her Miami home’s front door. When we caught up over the phone last month, I learned that COVID-19 had come even closer. “My studio assistant got the virus; she wasn’t with me when she was contagious [but] she seems to be recovering,” Lehr says. “My son-in-law got it because he had to go to the hospital for a checkup, so he got it there and gave it to my daughter. They’re all recovering, thank goodness.” Luckily, the 85-year old Lehr herself has remained healthy so far, and she says she’s adapted well to the “new normal.” “I’m kind of a hermit anyway, so for me, life has not changed that much. It’s changed in that I don’t see my family. Nobody comes around as much.” In fact, Lehr has discovered a psychological silver lining in the solitude: “It’s given me actually more time to reflect and get some new ideas. I kind of have CONTINUED ON PAGE 21

this spiritual feeling that this setback of the virus and everything has caused us to take note, and for people to be a little more reflective of what’s happening to the planet. So for me, it’s a time of growth and reflection.” Rather than distract from desperately needed climate action, Lehr hopes the coronavirus can compel others to reflect on the interconnection between our health and the planet’s, an underlying
theme of her monumental artworks. “It becomes more and more apparent that the Earth is sick, and with it came this virus,” she says. “I think it’s a call to wake up, and I want to see people taking heed and realizing there’s a bigger picture out there than their own lives. I think the whole planet is in jeopardy.” Mennello director Shannon Fitzgerald says the national acclaim that High Water Mark received is a boon to the museum’s mission. “[It] helps to establish context
and important peer institutional inclusion, that the caliber of the art and the timeliness of the message and weight of the content was raised and considered beyond Orlando,” she points out. Lehr says the show made people “much more aware of who I am now, and what I’m talking about. I think it’s been a very very positive thing for everyone, and mostly I’m thrilled the message gets out.” In order to reopen and continue sharing that message with visitors, Fitzgerald
says the museum upgraded their HVAC system, added temperature checks and installed touch-free devices, among other city- and state-supported social distancing measures. “[This] actually provides much more intimate viewing and physical time with the work,” Fitzgerald suggests. “With few visitors, Mira’s work seems even more visceral – and the experience is more contemplative – and that has been welcomed.” CONTINUED ON PAGE 23

Since the pandemic hit, Lehr says she’s “hearing from many people from all over about how they respond to my work,” and now that the Mennello has reopened, she thinks High Water Mark has “more credibility with all the troubles we’ve gone through, because it’s more dramatic now. It concerns people; people are worried and they’re scared, and I think this reaches them on the level where they can connect with the climate and with the environment.” And Fitzgerald observes, “We see repeat visitors, which may suggest Mira’s work is calming, despite its urgent call.”
Even after the current pandemic passes, Lehr predicts our lives – and culture – will be forever altered. “I don’t think we’ll ever go back to the way we once were. For me, there’s almost a mystical thing that this has happened,” she says. “I’m hoping there’s going to be a new vision of one world.” That extends to Miami’s art scene, of which Lehr has been called “the Godmother,” and which she says might eventually emerge improved. “The galleries certainly are suffering, and art is not being as profitable for people as it once was. But that could be a good thing too, because I think the commercialization
of art became a little bit overwhelming. So I think the good artists will rise to the top, and maybe people will be more judicious about what they buy. I don’t think it’s going to be big business as usual, and that’s actually a good thing.” Seemingly unable to sit still, Lehr has continued creating through the quarantine, working on an optimistic new series she’s calling From Kathmandu You Can Now See Mount Everest, and she plans to collaborate on prints with Orlando’s Flying Horse Editions. “At this age I’m always thinking about my work. So no matter what happens, the work is in the back of my mind,” she says. orlandoweekly.com

But she’s also found a certain serenity. “Even though I’m not unaware of what’s happening, I’m reflective and quiet, and that’s when new things happen. … I want to work, I always work. It’s just now, the frantic energy of producing is not as frantic; it’s quieter.” “It’s an idea of hope, that with caring for the planet more, things will clear up and we’ll be in the new age,” Lehr concludes, summarizing her current – and lifelong – artistic mission. “I’m just full of hope that something will turn around, and people will get planetary visions of a new earth.” arts@orlandoweekly.com AUG. 12-18, 2020 ● ORLANDO WEEKLY

IT’LL END IN TEARS? Jeremy Seghers presents Greek tragedy ‘The Bacchae’ as DIY drive-in theater BY MATTHEW MOYER
I
t’s fitting that director Jeremy Seghers is staging one of the first live theater productions in the city since the coronavirus pandemic shuttered Orlando’s theater spaces back in March; Seghers has made his name putting on left-field productions in unconventional spaces. In 2016, he staged Equus in a barn at the Acre, and then brought Dracula to a taxidermy shop on OBT. In 2019, he brought Three Stories to the Timucua Arts Foundation house, placing the audience on the erstwhile stage and the actors everywhere else. Over the next two weekends Seghers is presenting Greek tragedian Euripides’ final work, The Bacchae, as drive-in theater – first in the parking lot of Osceola Arts, and then in a field at the Orlando Executive airport in the Milk District. Hearing Seghers talk about all the happy accidents and collaboration that made up this bare-bones DIY production, we got distinct John Waters, Ed Wood (a compliment, we assure you) and Werner Herzog vibes … from the Greek amphitheater to the B-movie screen. When Seghers enthuses about the cast fleeing rain during ad hoc outdoor rehearsals at the Urban Wetlands near Greenwood Cemetery, using flashlights as stage lighting, pausing middialogue when airplanes fly overhead, and handling curious bats that drop in on rehearsals, it’s clear this is going to be a unique experience on both sides of the headlights. And when he mentions that the two different locations – more serendipity – make it almost like a mini-tour for the actors, we’re ready to get in the van. Though Seghers insists outright that his Bacchae is not a statement on the times or the coronavirus, so much of the production was impacted by it. Rehearsals started on Zoom, then moved to open parks; venues had to be outdoors; Seghers even credits the initial inspiration for the production to attending a drive-in movie a couple of months ago. Much of the production seems to be predicated on looking to the past for viable ways to make art during an uncertain present. “There’s this feel of like, ‘let’s just put on a show!’” says Seghers. “It’s kind of a throwback because we don’t have the luxury of all the technology. It’s simple and old-school, but really old-school, like 2,000plus years.” What was the genesis of this production? Back in May I went to a drive-in movie in Lakeland with some friends, And we were seeing Psycho. I was a little apprehensive because before that I wasn’t going out, I was staying home and working from home. But it was distanced and everybody was being safe and wearing masks and being really respectful. And I was able to sit there with the windows down, the radio on to get the sound, and I was able to really relax, and there are people around and I can look over
THE BACCHAE 7 p.m. Thursday-Sunday, Aug. 13-16, Osceola Arts, 2411 E. Irlo Bronson Memorial Highway, Kissimmee 7 p.m. Thursday-Sunday, Aug. 20-23, Orlando Executive Airport eventbrite.com $20-$60
at my friends in their car. And on the way home I started thinking about how I could do theater like that. And last year I had started re-reading Euripides’ plays and I came across The Bacchae. Even by Greek standards, this is a really strange story, and it’s not typical of Greek theater. I just started researching the origins of The Bacchae, and it made sense to do it because it is so challenging. I don’t like to do stuff that’s not a challenge. And the story itself … nobody could agree on what it was about or what he’s trying to say. It was late in Euripedes’ life when he wrote the play; it wasn’t even produced till after he died. And it just didn’t seem like he gave a fuck, he had nothing to lose. Then with the casting, I didn’t have to twist anyone’s arm. I thought of my first choices for casting and everyone said yes. That’s a sign you know that things are gonna work out.
can we do theater again?” You can do it now. You just have to do it safely! Anybody can do what I’m doing; you just have to be stubborn. Be really, really stubborn and persistent and not give up and just keep going and pushing, and think outside the box.
You’re combining very different eras of performance with this show. There’s the Greek theater aspect, a throwback to people gathering in a space to watch a play without a lot of bells and whistles. The lights that are involved after dark are operated by the actors, their flashlights. There’s no amplification for voices, other than just projecting. But also, during quarantine I re-read Peter Brook’s book The Empty Space. And in that, his view is that theater could be anywhere. That kind of theatrical approach was used in the late 1960s quite a bit. So when I was approaching The Bacchae originally, we were coming at it from a 1960s aesthetic – with Dionysus being a sort of cult-leader Charles Manson character and his Bacchae being the Family. … I Is Greek tragedy especially friendly to a socially stripped that back a little bit. I thought, “OK, we’re not distanced production? Every gesture and word is going full Manson, we’re not doing Once Upon a Time in bigger … Yes, and it’s also very intimate too because the actors are Hollywood.” But it’s creepy. Take some of the things that Manson said right in front of the cars and they’re moving around the cars sometimes, shining flashlights into them. I’m hoping it and some of the Dionysus quotes from the play, and put feels modern but with the spirit of guerrilla theater, of just them side by side and it’s hard to tell, sometimes, who’s sayfinding a spot and doing a show. I’ve always had the notion ing what. But it also goes to show that things don’t change. that theater can be anywhere, you don’t need a theater A narcissist cult leader from 1969 is pretty much the same space to do it. This is just kind of like an extension of that. as a narcissist cult leader/god from, you know, 405 B.C.

BY SETH KUBERSKY
Local playwright Michael Wanzie reunites his popular ‘Ladies of Eola Heights’ in a Zoom pay-per-view production As a travel writer who hasn’t left
the state of Florida in over six months, I’d probably accept an all-expenses-paid trip to the seventh circle of Hell right about now, if only to get out of the house. So I was feeling just a bit jealous last week when I spoke to prolific performer-playwright Michael Wanzie as he was driving home with producer-director Kenny Howard along a two-lane highway through the middle of Kentucky. Backwoods bluegrass country might not be the first place you’d picture two of Orlando theater’s top talents taking a road trip (in my head, it resembles the The Muppet Movie’s “Movin’ Right Along” sequence with Kermit and Fozzie in the Studebaker), but I fully understood when Wanzie said their visit to see Howard’s family “felt like I’d gotten out of prison.” Wanzie may have been staying inside, but he hasn’t been sitting still. The weekly “Social Distance” fundraising showcase he and Howard ran with Rich Charron raised enough to give $100 gifts to 187 local performing artists affected by the pandemic. That program, which is currently paused, led directly to the formation of Greater Orlando Performing Arts Relief (GOPAR), a partnership between local theaters and St. Luke’s Methodist Church. Wanzie calls GOPAR “a permanent charitable organization for actors and people who work in the arts, who fall in distress on a year-round basis, and not just because there’s a national crisis going on.” GOPAR (goparelief.wixsite.com) will launch its efforts with an online Labor Day telethon, but after many months of quarantine-caused unemployment, Wanzie himself is among those who could use some relief. That’s a major reason why his Ladies of Eola Heights series is returning this weekend in an all-new Zoom-based pay-per-view production. “Kenny and Rich encouraged me to write something for my own sake, because
THE INFAMOUS ‘LADIES OF EOLA HEIGHTS’ | PHOTO COURTESY OF THE PRODUCERS
I’ve blown through my savings,” Wanzie says. “We wanted to create something new that all three of us could be involved with creatively, so it seemed like the logical thing was to do the next episode” of Ladies, the popular series that’s seen four sequels and two casts – both male and female – since its 2005 debut at Parliament House’s Footlight Theatre. When we last saw them in High Seas, the squabbling Locksdale sisters had gone their separate ways; this sixth installment picks up a decade later, when Pearl (Beth Marshall) brings the scattered siblings back together for a Zoom reunion, where she makes a momentous announcement. The plot’s details – including the identity of a surprise guest star – remain under wraps, but Wanzie did share a hint of what the ladies have been up to in the interim: “Pearl is exercising her activist nature, and she has developed a new relationship that we find out about. Opal (Peg O’Keef ) went to Atlanta to spend time with her grandchildren [and] now she’s all alone in a big house. Ruby (Blue Star) went to New York to pursue acting and had some success, but she left because of an unexpected turn of events.” Although this is the first work Wanzie has written specifically for Zoom, he says the format “really lent itself to the final product being incredibly conversational, because I bore in mind the whole time I was writing that you can’t rely on action … [I] tried to write it with a mindset of a television sitcom more than a play.” Many of us are feeling burnt out on online arts, a sentiment Wanzie understands, since he’s watched several of them with Broadway performers, and was “struck by the bad timing.” But in con-
trast with streamed readings of scripts that are intended for the stage, Wanzie thinks Ladies will “fare very well by comparison, because this was written as taking place specifically in a Zoom environment, so you don’t feel like you’re missing anything.” As director, Howard is using Zoom’s “gallery view” to keep the entire cast visible, and recording each of the show’s three scenes (which are separated by musical segments from Miss Sammy) in a single take. “It is so conversational, and everyone is doing such an amazing job with their facial expressions,” he says. “I told them that if there are little glitches, they’re just going to have to cover their asses.” Although he called conducting virtual rehearsals using Kentucky WiFi “challenging,” Howard adapted to the digital transition thanks to his seasoned cast. “As long as the quality of everyone’s internet was solid, they just stepped into these characters like putting on their favorite pair of shoes,” says Howard. “It was like a little family reunion in the middle of a quarantine.” The one missing member of that family is designer Marcy Singhaus, who passed away last month. Singhaus costumed the Ladies “from their inception,” says Wanzie, “both male and female” casts. The show will be dedicated to her with a preshow tribute montage, and each performer will wear an article she created as a “touchstone.” The YouTube stream of Ladies of Eola Heights Zoom Reunion debuts Saturday, Aug. 15, at 9 p.m. and will be available through Aug. 29. Tickets are $15, or $25 with VIP access to the pre- and post-show cast parties; visit wanzie.eventbrite.com to purchase. skubersky@orlandoweekly.com orlandoweekly.com

overlook it just because you’re in a state of sobriety. Under that blood-red broth sits chunks of luscious, springy tripe into which I toss cilantro, diced onion and whole green chilies that come in a separate container. Oh, and if you run out of Purell, use this broth as a substitute. Your hands will smell better too. And if you want an accompanying sandwich to enjoy with the menudo, the milanesa ($7.99), comprising breaded steak inside a gigante telera roll, puts any soup/ sandwich combo you could get at Panera Bread to shame. You can’t get flan ($2.99) or milky tres leches ($2.99) at Panera either, but you can here. BTW: They do a brisk takeout business, so call and place your order beforehand to prevent a lengthy wait.

Rob Chase of Digress Wine knows a thing or two about pairings, and partnering up with Heberto Segura of Duck & Drake Kitchen is a pairing that’s proved beneficial for both the wine shop and the food truck operator. Segura, former executive chef of Raglan Road at Disney Springs, has set up shop in the parking lot of the Edgewater Drive enoteca serving dishes he describes as “unpretentious yet highlevel,” “creative comfort” and “internationally inspired.” Think charred pulpo and shrimp escabeche; piri-piri chicken served over steamed rice, sided with chow-chow and drizzled with lemon gremolata; za’atar-spiced frites with coriander chutney, and braised duck empanadillas. International indeed. It’s the kind of elevated fare that should be served out of a Ferrari, not a food truck. And while you wait for your order, head inside Digress and chase down Mr. Chase. He’s always willing to offer a pairing suggestion or two.

ON (small) SCREENS IN ORLANDO Streaming premieres you won’t want to miss by Steve Schneider PREMIERES WEDNESDAY: (Un)Well – It’s hard to believe that anything you read on Natural News could be bad for you, yet that possibility is the fulcrum for this six-episode docu-series, which questions the efficacy of a bunch of high-profile “wellness” fads. Get ready for critical examinations of everything from essential oils to fasting to tantric sex. Wait a minute: Tantric sex is a wellness regimen? I thought it was just another reason to hate Sting. (Netflix) Yusuf Hawkins: Storm Over Brooklyn – Now that white people are starting to realize Black lives might indeed matter, the time is ideal to revisit the case of Hawkins, who met his demise at the hands of a Bensonhurst mob in 1989. Yes, simply for being in the neighborhood. And no, he isn’t the one Springsteen wrote a song about. Do better, boomer! (HBO Max)
PREMIERES THURSDAY: Infinity Train Season 3 – Making its move from Cartoon Network to HBO Max is this animated anthology series about an endless train whose every car is a self-contained universe. The new season (or “book,” in the show’s parlance) concerns a group of kid anarchists let loose on the train. You know, I once spent four hours on a Greyhound bus that felt just like that. (HBO Max)
PREMIERES FRIDAY: 3% Season 4 – The conflict between the impoverished masses and the fortunate few heats up as the Brazilian dystopian sci-fi series concludes. Hey, remember when “Brazilian dystopian” wasn’t redundant? And when the idea of 3 percent of the population
living in comfort and safety didn’t seem incredibly optimistic? (Netflix) The Last Drive-in With Joe Bob Briggs: Summer Sleepover Special – Everybody’s favorite Z-movie connoisseur treats us to a double feature of dreck, with special guests including Hatchet director Adam Green. Joe Bob and Darcy the Mail Girl are keeping the rest of the night’s surprises close to the vest, but I’ll go out on a limb with one bold prediction: Adam Green is people! (Shudder) Project Power – Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Jamie Foxx star in an original film about a street drug that promises to endow the user with superpowers, but which carries tragic side effects. Seriously, it can’t be much worse than essential oils. (Netflix) World’s Toughest Race: Eco Challenge Fiji Season 1 – The indomitable Bear Grylls leads 66 teams of competitors from 30 countries on a non-stop race across Fiji. In an interesting twist, one of the contestants is said to suffer from Alzheimer’s. If this show’s a hit, brace yourself for Season 2: Full-On Dementia in the Outback. (Amazon Original Series)
PREMIERES SUNDAY: Lovecraft Country – We may not be getting a second season of Watchmen, but HBO has found a new way to wed sci-fi and social conscience in this highly anticipated series from executive producers Jordan Peele and J.J. Abrams. The America of the 1950s is the backdrop to a story that asks us to decide which is scarier: Lovecraftian monsters or the racists next door. If we can’t decide after 10 episodes, maybe we should ask Yusuf Hawkins. Peace out. (HBO Max) orlandoweekly.com

“MARRIED PEOPLE” I’m a 38-year-old bi woman who has been sleeping with a married male coworker for the last eight months. We’re a walking cliché: I’m a nurse, he’s a doctor, and one night he ended up spilling a lot of personal information about his marriage to me (sexless, non-romantic, she might be a lesbian) before asking if he could kiss me. I declined. Three months and many text messages later, I met him for drinks. The next thing I know we are falling in love and spending as much time together as we can manage. Even though he is married and has kids, this has been one of the best relationships of my adult life. He loves me in ways I never thought possible. (He even savors my COVID-19 curves.) The obvious problem here is that he is married and his wife allegedly doesn’t know about his unhappiness in their marriage. We have to arrange our dates around his work schedule and his lies to his wife. I find myself becoming increasingly jealous of the time he spends with his wife and his inability to spend more time with me. I want him to confront the issues in his marriage and I want him to at least attempt being honest with her so we can figure out if it’s even possible for us to move forward. My question is this: How do I have this conversation with him without it seeming like an ultimatum? I adore him and I don’t think he’s lying to me about his marriage. But I long to have more freedom in our relationship. I love that I finally found someone who treats me so well when we are together but my heart is breaking because our love exists in the shadows. It’s a win/ win for him – he gets his marriage, his kids, his “real life,” and me too. But I can’t even text or even call him freely and I certainly couldn’t rely on him in an emergency. I want this to work. I don’t necessarily want him to get divorced, Dan, as I fear it would cause him to resent me, but that would honestly be my preference. What should I do? Outside The Home Exists Romance What are you willing to settle for, OTHER? If you can’t live without Dr. Married and you can only have him on his terms – terms he set at the start, terms designed to keep his wife in the dark – then you’ll have to accept his terms. You can only see Dr. Married during office hours, you can’t call or text him and you’re on your own if you have an emergency outside office hours. But agreeing to his terms at the outset doesn’t obligate you to stick to his terms forever. Terms can be renegotiated. But unless you’re willing to issue an ultimatum, OTHER, Dr. Married has no incentive to renegotiate the terms of your relationship. 38
Zooming out for a second: I get letters all the time from women who ask me how to issue an ultimatum without seeming like they’re issuing an ultimatum. I don’t get many letters from men like that for good and not-so-good reasons: men are socialized to feel entitled to what they want, men are praised when they ask for what they want and consequently men are likelier to get what they want. To get what you want, OTHER, you’re gonna have to man up: feel entitled, act entitled, make demands. And you gotta be willing to walk. You have to go in fully prepared to use the leverage you actually have here – your presence in Dr. Married’s life – or nothing will change. His circumstances have required you to live in the shadows if you wanted to see him and maybe that worked for you once. But it doesn’t work for anymore and Dr. Married needs to understand that if his circumstances don’t change – if he doesn’t change them – then he’s going to lose you. There’s a middle ground between divorce, your preferred circumstance and things staying exactly as they are. Dr. Married’s wife is surely aware that her marriage is sexless and non-romantic – assuming he’s told you the truth – and if his wife’s actually a lesbian, well, perhaps she’d like the freedom to date other women too. (Or date them openly, I should say; for all we know she’s been getting some pussy on the side herself.) If they want to stay together for the kids, if they have a constructive, functional, low-conflict loving partnership and it would be possible to daylight you without anyone having to get divorced, maybe you could settle for those terms. I’m a bi man in a straight marriage. We have two young children. My wife and I have been working through some relationship issues. Because of these, she has not been open to sex with me and for eighteen months our marriage has been essentially sexless. I’m not happy with this, but we are working on things. Since we stopped having sex, I have been using my wife’s used panties to masturbate. I work from home and do a lot of the household work, including laundry. Every couple of weeks, I will take a couple of her panties from the laundry. I rub myself with one pair and sniff the other one. I enjoy the way the fabric feels and am turned on by knowing that they’ve been rubbing up against her pussy. It makes me feel very close to her. I finish by ejaculating into her panties and then I rinse them out and wash them. I’m very careful not to stain or damage them. This is some-

thing I do to feel more connected with her sexually. I don’t get hard thinking that she’s wearing panties I came in; I get hard thinking about coming in panties she’s worn. But I worry that I’m violating her – which is not something I want to do. I know that if I were doing this with a stranger’s panties or with the panties of someone I knew but was not in an intimate relationship with, it would be at best creepy and at worst a sex crime. But she’s my wife and although we are in a hard place right now, we’re trying to find our way back to each other. So, is this an acceptable way for me to get off while we work on our relationship? Or is it a violation? Wonders About Nuzzling Knickers I’m torn, WANK. If you and the wife were fucking, WANK, she might enjoy knowing that, however many years and two kids later, you’re still so crazy about her that you’re down in the laundry room perving on her dirty panties. But you aren’t fucking and things are strained for reasons you didn’t share. So you need to ask yourself whether this perving, if your wife were to find out about it, would set you two back. If you think it would – if, say, your wife isn’t fucking you because she feels like you don’t respect her opinions, her boundaries, her autonomy, etc. – then the risk (further damaging your marriage) has to outweigh the rewards (momentarily draining your sack.) That said, WANK, if perving on your wife’s panties – without damaging or staining them – is helping you remain faithful during this sexless period of your marriage … and sustaining your attraction to your wife through this difficult time … well, an argument/rationalization could be made that your wife benefits from this perving. And these aren’t stolen panties – these aren’t a stranger’s panties or a roommate’s panties – these are panties your wife hands over to you for laundering. That you derive a moment’s pleasure from them on their way from laundry basket to washing machine could be self-servingly filed, I guess, under “what she doesn’t know won’t hurt her.” But if you feel like your wife would regard this as a violation – and I’m guessing you feel that way, WANK, since you’re asking me about it and not her – then you might wanna knock it off.

Meet Lilah! Lilah (A392508) is a 4-year-old girl who was surrendered to our shelter by her previous family because they could no longer care for her. According to them she is a little shy when you first meet her, but very sweet once she warms up. She does have a flea allergy, which will require her adopters to make sure she is on flea medication monthly. Lilah is looking for a family who can provide her the loving home that she deserves; she has had a hard time standing out in the midst of kitten season. Links to meet and adopt Lilah are posted on orlandoweekly.com. For the month of August, adoption fees are reduced to $10 for both dogs and cats as we encourage everyone to consider adopting a Quarantine Buddy. The fees include sterilization, vaccinations and a microchip. 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. Monday through Saturday and 1-5 p.m. Sunday. For more information, please call 407-836-3111 or visit ocnetpets.com.
