Island City Stage presents the East Coast Premiere of Everything Beautiful Happens at Night
2026-04-02 19:00 - 2026-04-26 21:30 | Island City Stage, 2304 N. Dixie Highway, Wilton Manors, Florida, 33305, United States
From writer Ted Malawer (Red, White, & Royal Blue), Carbonell and Silver Palm Award-winning director Bruce Linser, and featuring stunning illustrations by multi-award-winning artist Bong Redila, Everything Beautiful Happens at Night is a tender, funny, and moving story about the life you have, the life you want, and who stays when the world gets quiet. Tickets are on sale now for Island City Stage’s East Coast premiere of the play which runs April 2- 26.
Ezra is a closeted children’s book author. Nancy is his fiercely loyal editor. Their creative partnership has shaped stories that delight generations. But when writer’s block pushes Ezra far past deadlines to deliver his latest book, a new voice enters the conversation and begins to change Ezra’s life, inspiring a controversial ending to Chipmunk and Squirrel, and testing the limits of his friendship with Nancy.
As a former literary agent for children’s book authors, then as an editor of children’s books, and ultimately as a children’s book author and novelist, himself, Ted Malawer has spun a tale close to home. Everything Beautiful Happens at Night was partially inspired by his childhood LGBTQ author heroes Maurice Sendak (“Where the Wild Things Are”) and Arnold Lobel (“Frog and Toad” books). The play held its world premiere at Capital Stage in Sacramento, California, in early 2025 and its second U.S. staging brings it to the award-winning Island City Stage in Wilton Manors, Florida.
Island City Stage’s production of Everything Beautiful Happens at Night, directed by Linser, stars Christopher Dreeson as Ezra, Laura Turnbull as Nancy, and Aidan Paul as Jake.
Everything Beautiful Happens at Night co-producers are Russell Vance, Michael Mullins and Terry Gaw; Lights and Sound Sponsor is Scott Bennett; Talent Sponsors are Paul Rolli & Bennett Quade and Robert Lee; Costume Sponsors are Rita Cassady and John Colemen; Set Sponsors are Margie & Trevor Fried; and Illustrations Sponsor is DC Allen & Ken Flick No Gay Hate Fund at Our Fund. Additional funding is provided by the following: The Our Fund Foundation, The Schubert Foundation Inc., the SHS Foundation, the Warten Foundation, and OutClique.
Individual show tickets start at $45. A Mimosa Sunday performance sponsored by John Fomook and Charles Lee will take place on April 12. A special Women’s Night at the Theatre sponsored by Barbara Signer and Fran Epstein will take place on April 24. The show runs for one hour and 40 minutes with no intermission.

Sarasota s 25th Anniversary Good Friday STATIONS of the Cross Pilgrimage
2026-04-03 07:15 - 08:45 | 1993 Main St, 1993 Main Street, Sarasota, Florida, 34236, United States
Sarasota s 25th Anniversary Good Friday STATIONS of the Cross Pilgrimage
Twenty-seven Ministers of fourteen Denominations will participate in the Good Friday, Stations of the Cross down the center of Main Street Sarasota. With four Ministerial Associations and Denominational Prelates participating, over 100 congregations are represented. This Good Friday, April 3rd, is the 25th year Sarasota will observe the worldwide Stations of the Cross tradition. What began in mid-15th century Jerusalem is now celebrated in over 200 nations on Good Friday of Holy Week. The fourteen Biblically recorded events that happened to Jesus on his way to crucifixion are remembered, Station by Station. A service booklet sharing the acts of worship corresponding to the historic, fourteen physical Stations in Jerusalem will be distributed to all pilgrims.
Everyone is invited to Walk Your Faith this Holy Week by experiencing “The Way” or “Stations of the Cross” on April 3rd. In past years, the pilgrimage was confined to the north sidewalk of Main Street. Since 2011, the Sarasota Police Department escort has facilitated the procession so pilgrims can safely walk down the center of Main Street. In 2025, over 1,000 pilgrims participated in this three-quarters of a mile journey. Twenty-four years ago, the Sarasota Ministerial Association began to co-host the observance with The Church of The Redeemer, whose Friday Men s Breakfast Prayer Group founded Sarasota s observance in 1996. Then, fewer than 15 souls participated, but their prayers now bear the fruit of hundreds experiencing what has become a Sarasota Happening.
Pilgrims begin to gather at 7 a.m. and the pilgrimage starts at 7:15 a.m. in front of the Regal Hollywood movie theater, 1993 Main Street, just off Washington Blvd., 301. Sarasota City and County Commissioners preside over Station One, “Jesus Is Condemned To Death.” For those who would like to park at the final Station location (Church of the Redeemer at 222 S. Palm Ave.), the Siesta Trolley will transport you to Regal Hollywood from Redeemer starting at 6 a.m. The Stations of the Cross journey offers an opportunity to reflect on the different moments of Christ s passion journey to his crucifixion in Jerusalem 2,000 years ago. Pilgrims will reach the final Station, Church of the Redeemer, at about 8:30 a.m. At that time, all are invited to attend a brief Morning Prayer Service reflecting on Good Friday inside the church.
Observe Christ s passion on the day the world stops to celebrate it. For more information, contact Grier Ferguson, Church Of The Redeemer Episcopal Church, gferguson@redeemersarasota.org, 941-955-4263 or email the Sarasota Ministerial Association President, Rev. Dr. Tom Pfaff at ChaplainTomPfaff@Gmail.com.
