The Laramie Project: A 25th Anniversary Reading
Thu Oct 12, 2023 - Sat Oct 14, 2023
Ghost Light Theatricals in association with Fringe ArtSpace and Florida Theatrical Association present readings of The Laramie Project and The Laramie Project: Ten Years Later to commemorate the 25th anniversary of Matthew Shepard's death.
In honoring the memory and legacy of Matthew Shepard, this unique event strives to inspire our community to see themselves in the citizens of Laramie and reflect on their own reaction to recent attacks on the rights of the LGBTQ+ community, both here in Florida and nationally. This moment is an opportunity to connect, comfort and organize in this troubling time and to honor the mission of the Matthew Shepard Foundation to amplify the story of Matthew Shepard to “inspire individuals, organizations, and communities to embrace the dignity and equality of all people.
With a cast composed of local actors, artists and community leaders this reading will bring a whole new perspective on the work by putting community at the center of the storytelling and offering space for conversation and reflection.

The Spider Queen
Fri Oct 20, 2023 - Sun Oct 29, 2023
This October 20 - 29, The Orlando Artist Guild swings to Fringe ArtSpace with THE SPIDER QUEEN!
A web slinging hero. A genius director. A rock star. And 75 million dollars. What could go wrong? Winner of the 2022 Broadway World Award for Best New Play, “The Spider Queen” returns to Orlando this Halloween in a brand new full length production. The show tells the saga of the greatest flop in Broadway history from inception to closing, and all the previews in between. 12 actors inhabit everyone from Julie Taymor to Bono & The Edge in a script called “A big web of fun” and “Hilariously unhinged” (Orlando Weekly).
