MOVIE PREMIERE: This new film, an imaginatively presented interpretation of Gloria Steinem’s 2015 memoir My Life on the Road, is directed by Julie Taymor, who bought The Lion King to Broadway. And here, she uses equal imagination in telling the story of this iconic feminist – by casting several actresses to play Steinem at various ages. Hence the title Glorias. Among them: Julianne Moore (pictured) and Alicia Vikander.

SPECIAL PREMIERE: This new 2020 adaptation of Mart Crowley’s seminal stage play, first mounted off-Broadway in 1968, includes among its producers Ryan Murphy, of Pose and Glee fame. Crowley himself adapted his play for this new Netflix screen version, but he died in March, so didn’t live to see its streaming premiere. The play, about a group of gay men who start drinking and talking during an increasingly intense birthday celebration, was a rare voice from the gay community then, and today serves as both a comedy-drama and a history lesson. Stars include Jim Parsons, Zachary Quinto, Matt Bomer, and Andrew Rennells.
