Florida Grand Opera is hosting Community Conversations The Next Generation Is Queer April 27, 2021, at 7:30 PM. Admission is free: RSVP is strongly recommended. This special panel is Hosted by the Center for Spiritual Living in Oakland Park. You can Join a conversation with partners from across Florida to sustain advocacy for equality and inclusion. Together, the conversation focuses on shifting social attitudes toward greater respect and acceptance of LGBTQ+ communities. Community Conversations are a series of thought-provoking discussions that connect the opera art form with religion, politics, and the humanities. Using the mainstage season as a catalyst, these hour-long events, in partnership with other regional cultural organizations, serve adult audiences and stimulate conversations about life and art that speak to the communities of South Florida. Community Conversations series will focus on the opera Fellow Travelers composed by Gregory Spears. The opera is set during the McCarthy era of the 1950s and focuses on the “lavender scare,” a witch-hunt and mass firings of gay people from the United States government. The story centers on the love affair between two men working for the federal government—Hawkins “Hawk” Fuller, a State Department official, and Timothy Laughlin, a recent college graduate working in a senator’s office. FGO Studio Artists will also be part of the program, performing selections from the opera Fellow Travelers. This upcoming program focuses on Trans and non-binary people, the most marginalized and vulnerable communities within the LGBTQ+ family. Meet some of the most powerful leaders representing these communities and learn more about the issues that affect the “T” and the “Q.” This conversation would be unimaginable within the context of the opera Fellow Travelers and the political climate during the 1950s. The moderator is Queer News Tonight anchor Tony Lima.
