Theatre--Performance

Acting Up (in Acadiana) is proud to present Play. Music. Heal.--an original work in progress. The community is invited to attend excerpts from the performance which showcase Louisiana-inspired characters living life with all of its complexities, such as poverty and wealth, love and marriage, illness and death, a new generation challenging and questioning family obligation and tradition and music’s ability to lift them up as individuals and as a community.

Performances will be held at the Outreach Center’s Downtown Lafayette campus on Friday, February 13th and Friday, March 6th at 7 PM. Play. Music. Heal., directed by Amy Waguespack, features performances by Hannah Briggs, Ricky Briggs, Brian Cruthfield, Lian Cheramie, David Guarisco, Kara Guarisco, Katie Lahey, Megan LeBleu, George Saucier and Cissy Whipp. Music contributors include Chris Courville, Carol Fran, Henry Gray, Bernard Pearce, and Chris Stafford. Earlier in the process, the actors and musicians worked with collaborators from The Actors' Gang (a Los Angeles based theatre company founded and directed by Tim Robbins), Kaili Hollister and Justin Zsebe.

The Outreach Center is located at 125 S. Buchanan St., on the corner of Second and Buchanan. For directions or more information, please contact Amy Waguespack at (337) 739-4273.>
