The third annual Gay Play Series features eleven new one-act LGBT plays, chosen from more than 175 works submitted by playwrights from across the globe. Along with these short plays, the event also features a one-off performance of Ronnie Larsen’s hit comedy Making Porn (kicking off the series Friday), a re-creation of Judy Garland’s famed Carnegie Hall concert by Vince Kelly (Monday, June 18) and the Motor City Miscast Cabaret, with men singing traditionally female songs and vice versa (closing out the series on Monday, June 25). Audience members are asked to vote for their favorite one-act, which will receive an encore presentation at the series’ finale. At the Ringwald Theatre, 22742 Woodward Ave., Ferndale; 248-545-5545; see theringwald.com for a complete schedule; $10-$25.
