Theatre--Performance

Acting Up (in Acadiana) is proud to present Play. Music. Heal., an original workshop production. With stylized staging and psychological rawness, Louisiana-inspired characters live life with all of its complexities: 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 Acadiana Center for the Arts March 19th through the 21st (Thursday through Saturday) and 26th through the 28th (Thursday through Saturday)t 8 pm. All tickets are $10 and are available at the door. Box office opens at 6:45 pm on Thursdays and 7:15 pm for all other shows. Material may not be suitable for young children.

On Thursday, March 19th and Thursday, March 26th, Acting Up (in Acadiana) will host a champagne pre-show discussion at 7 pm with members of the collaborative production team. All other shows will be followed by a wine post-show discussion with members of the team.
