JUNE 10 — WATCHING THE TONY AWARDS WITH SHOW PEOPLE
Sure, you can watch the Tony Awards by yourself, and that is fine. No judgment. Or you can get into the spirit of things by going to a viewing party being thrown by local theater company Island City Stage at the Pub, a bar that put the “amp” in “camp” in the gay-riffic Wilton Manors neighborhood. During commercial breaks, there will be a sing-alongs, raffles and performances. Curtain goes up at 7 p.m. at the Pub, 2283 Wilton Drive, in Wilton Manors. There is no cover, but there are VIP tables for four that will include hors d’oeuvres and a bottle of champagne for $100. Call 954-519-2533 or go to IslandCityStage.org.
JUNE 13 — AUDRA MCDONALD MAKES GOOD ON A PROMISE
Due to illness, the star of “The Good Fight” had to cancel a concert appearance at Fort Lauderdale’s Broward Center for the Performing Arts in March. But now, the superstar — who has a record-breaking six Tony Awards — is back, baby, and ready to bring her bevy of Broadway show tunes to her South Florida fans. Alongside her television work in “Private Practice,” “The Good Wife” and the live telecast of “The Sound of Music,” McDonald is best known for her stage successes in “Ragtime,” “The Gershwins’ Porgy and Bess,” “A Raisin in the Sun” and “Lady Day at Emerson’s Bar and Grill.” McDonald’s concert starts at 8 p.m. at the Broward Center, 201 SW Fifth Ave., in Fort Lauderdale. Tickets cost $25-$145. Call 954-462-0222 or go to BrowardCenter.org.
JUNE 13 — “THE INCREDIBLES 2” ON AN INCREDIBLY BIG SCREEN
Sure, you can see “The Incredibles 2” almost anywhere when the animated movie hits cinemas June 13. Or you can catch it on a ginormous screen — Fort Lauderdale’s AutoNation IMAX 3D Theater — for a run through June 21. On opening day at the 6 p.m. screening, a special double feature will include the first “Incredibles” on the IMAX screen for the first time ever. The AutoNation IMAX 3D Theater is located at the Museum of Discovery and Science, 401 SW Second St. Tickets cost $12 for children ages 2-12 and $15 for adults (the June 13 double feature tickets cost $20).

JUNE 16 — STYX AND STONEWALLS
Chuck Panozzo, bassist and co-founder of the rock band Styx, will be the grand marshal of the 19th annual Stonewall Pride Parade and Festival in Wilton Manors. There will be vendors, exhibitors and food trucks starting at 4 p.m. The parade down Wilton Drive will begin at 5 p.m. Live performances will start at about 11 p.m. The event is free.

JUNE 30 — GET THE FLOCK OUT THERE
For no reason whatsoever, a bunch of people decorate swan floats and take them onto the waters off Sebastian Street beach in Fort Lauderdale in a crazy LGBT-friendly good time called FlockFest. Previously, it was an informal, either-you-know-or-you-don’t-know thing held on the Fourth of July weekend. Now, for the fourth FlockFest, there will be a DJ and an inflate-your-swan station (for a donation to the Renand Foundation, which helps at-risk families in Haiti). The free event runs from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sebastian Beach is Fort Lauderdale’s unofficial gay beach and is located between Sebastian and Castillo streets on A1A.
