What would you do if your hometown and its people were under immediate threat? What if you lost your home, your land, your family belongings, and no one seemed to care, much less lend a hand? What if the youth in your community fled without option as your family and culture decayed in their wake? What if the lives of your neighbors or grandparents were unnecessarily lost while politicians seemed incapacitated and outsiders idly observed? What if all of this was avoidable, occurring because of man-made problems? What would you do? The youth of South Louisiana are forced to ask themselves these difficult questions every day, growing up in a land where threat, loss, and survival often take precedence over the traditional spoils of youth. In South Louisiana, man-made environmental problems are contributing to the loss of one football field of land every 60 minutes, resulting in a devastating disintegration of personal lives and irreplaceable heritage. Formulated directly from on-site interviews, Evangeline Drowning is a riveting new drama that investigates the socio-environmental crisis in Southern Louisiana through the lens of those it impacts the most, notably the voices of its future. 'The most powerful play I have seen in a long time, maybe ever.''An impressive, meaningful, and emotionally engaging work. As funny as it is insightful.''Every educational program in the country needs to produce this play.''A story that desperately needs to be told.''Beautiful. Moving. Humorous. I’ve never seen anything that gripped me so tightly.''Exciting new docudrama which explores the environmental crisis of the Louisiana wetlands from the perspective of its youth.''A dynamic, moving, and a powerful message concerning the human, and environmental challenge taking place in the Louisiana coastal region, our nation, and our planet.'

  • Mississippi Goddamn
    Jonathan Norton
       “Some shows have warnings for strobe lights. Some have them for loud gunshots.  Some for smoke.   MISSISSIPPI GODDAMN, a new play by Jonathan Norton should have one for intensity.   Granted, anyone attending a play about civil rights pioneer Medgar Evers set in 1963 Jackson, Mississippi, should expect some strife. Blood in the battle for racial equality is no surprise, but f...

  • The Lady From Maxim’s
    Georges Feydeau / Laurence Senelick
       “It seems to me that for fertility in droll inventions, the perpetual outpouring of unforeseen misunderstandings, for the inexhaustible gaiety of dialogue, Feydeau’s new play is superior to everything he’s written so far. The most astonishing thing is the sureness with which everything is controlled, explained, justified, in the most extravagant buffoonery. The cross-purpose...

  • Fit For A Queen
    Betty Shamieh
       “Plenty of glamorous backstabbing, diva dissing and sexual double-crossing…has every right to claim the name Dynasty for itself.  But the title character in Betty Shamieh’s bouncy, bumpy comic melodrama is the real thing. A queen, I mean, and not just of the self-dramatizing type. Scratch that. She’s more than a queen. She’s a pharaoh, one Hatshepsut, who reigned over Egypt ...
