Theatre--Performance



Educating Rita opens on Thursday, April 23rd, and runs Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays at 7:30 pm, and Sundays until May 3rd at the Essenee Theatre in New Iberia. Rita White (Erin Segura), a hairdresser who wants to learn more, has signed up for an Open University course with a burnt-out has-been teacher named Frank (Vincent P. Barras), who has a fondness for alcohol. As he reluctantly prepares her for her examination, Frank discovers in her an eager mind and in himself the ability to be a good teacher again. It's a tale of redemption told through the lives of simple people who want more out of life.
