Dance--Review

Ray Blum of the Daily Advertiser reviewed Ballet Acadiana's performance of A Holiday Celebration in the edition of Friday, December 28.

Auditions--Movie

Working Title: “The Third Eye”

Brief Description: A mockumentary feature film in the tradition of Waiting for Guffman and Borat, this is the story of a man (example: minister) who invites a documentary crew to join him in southwest Louisiana as he convenes a group of leaders to share his vision for a groundbreaking new project. He hopes the attention will help bolster his reputation and place him in the limelight, but we end up seeing more of his shortcomings--troubles with his wife, kids, and colleagues--than anything else. It doesn't take long for the crew to realize watching our main character hang himself on a daily basis is by far the best show in town.
