Theatre--Performance

Jon Maran's insightful play Old Wicked Songs is being presented by the UL Lafayette Opera Theater. This is a two-person play about a young American prodigy's journey to Vienna to study piano and rekindle his passion for playing, but discovers he is being made to take voice lessons for three months with an old world Viennese voice teacher who has issues of his own. The play tells the story of an inspiring summer and deals with issues of acceptance and healing, and Robert Schumann's beautiful music of his song cycle "Dichterliebe."

The show stars Shawn Roy as the professor and Jared LeBlanc as the pianist. It was directed by Cody Daigle.

There will only be three performances on Father's Day weekend:
June 19 at 7:30pm
June 20 at 7:30pm
June 21 at 3pm

It will take place in Fletcher Hall on the ULL campus.
$15 general admission and free for UL Lafayette students, faculty and staff.
