Theatre--Performance

Despite the fact that this is the weekend of Festival International de Louisiane and most people think of music, there will be a lot of theatre and dance happening in the area connected to Festival.

PASA and Cite Des Arts are presenting John Bray's Trickster at the Gate, an original show, as part of The Big Read. Special Festival showtimes are 7 pm on both Friday and Saturday.

Acting Up (in Acadiana) is presenting 2 shows at the LUS Pavillon de Cuisine. The first, which will begin on Friday night at 7:15, is a one time production of Sustained Winds, an original show which the company has performed in New York. The second, which will be performed at the same venue on Saturday at 2:30 pm is Avon Lady.

The UL-Lafayette Department of Performing Arts will present a number of dance pieces at the LUS Pavillon de Cuisine. On Saturday, April 26th, the dancers will present Their Tongue, She Held a Sign in the Heir, and Windowpain at 1 pm. At 8 pm the same day, they will perform Manic. On Sunday, April 27th, the dancers will perform VIM and Get Over It at the same venue at 1 pm.
