The Acadia Players are presenting It's a Wonderful Life at the historic Rice Theatre beginning on Friday, December 4th at 7 pm. The show runs through the weekend, with performances on Saturday, December 5th at 7 pm and Sunday, December 6th at 2 pm. This family oriented, Christmas film from Frank Capra (made famous by Jimmy Stewart and Donna Reed) comes to the Crowley stage to help kick-off Crowley's Christmas season.
Set in Bedford Falls in 1945 on Christmas Eve, It's a Wonderful Life chronicles the life (and non-life) of George Bailey, the mild-mannered starry eyed man who is shown just how important his life has been. Clarence Odbody, Angel Second Class, the heavenly being sent down to earth to help George, pushes and prods to get George to the realization of how his life has touched so many. Clarence's purposes are not totally angelic, however, for he must get George to this realization in order to garnish his own wings and move to a "True Angel" instead of being "Angel, Second Class".
A flurry of characters parade in and out to assist in proving to George that he is important and that every person's life touches a multitude of others.
Tickets are $10 for adults and $5 for students (including college students with ID). Tickets can be found at the Crowley Flower Shop or online.

Mike Bourgeois and Gabe Ortego in the OLT production of A Tuna Christmas
A Tuna Christmas, which opens Thursday at the Opelousas Little Theatre, promises laughs galore as two actors bring to life 22 residents of Tuna, the fictional third-smallest town in Texas.The long-running off-Broadway comedy by Jaston Williams, Joe Sears and Ed Howard is the sequel to their earlier hit, Greater Tuna, and features a return of many of the town's colorful characters as well as introducing a few more. This time, it's 24 hours before Christmas and comic chaos is about to break loose as the eccentric characters attempt to cope with seasonal traumas, a disaster-prone little theater production of A Christmas Carol and a yard-decorating contest that is being sabotaged by a Christmas phantom.
"It is a barrel of laughs with a lot of comings and goings and rapid-fire costume changes," said Jody Powell, who is in charge of costuming for the production. For the play, she will be almost as busy as stars Gabe Ortego and Mike Bourgeois, who will bring to life Tuna's various residents through quick costume changes and a variety of characterizations.
"This play will be a delight for the entire family," Powell said. "Gabe and Mike possess a wealth of talent and have extensive stage experience." She said Ortego has been seen on the OLT stage in Noises Off, Proof, The Tempest, Godspell and Louisiana Purchase. He also directed Steel Magnolias and Monky Business at OLT. She said this play will put his comedic timing to the test as he portrays everyone from the buxom Helen Bedd to the cranky Didi Snavely and humanitarian Petey Fisk, among others. She said Bourgeois is another veteran, having performed in Godspell, Fiddler on the Roof, Nunsense and Monky Business. "Comedic roles come naturally to him, a feature audiences will appreciate as he delivers a range of characters including the long-suffering Bertha Bumiller, drunkard R.R. Snavely, the bodacious Inita Goodwin and more," Powell said.
Ortego also will do double duty, as he has partnered with Deborah D. Ardoin of the Eunice Players' Theatre to direct the show.
Performance dates are Thursday, Friday and Saturday, December 3rd, 4th and 5th, and December 10th, 11th and 12th, with all shows at 7 p.m. There will also be two Sunday matinees at 2 p.m. on December 6th and 13th. Tickets for all performances are $10. They will be available at the door or can be purchased in advance at Sebastien-Dupre Fine Jewelry at 822 S. Main St. or by calling 948-4367.

It's a Wonderful Life, the family oriented, Christmas film from Frank Capra (made famous by Jimmy Stewart and Donna Reed), comes to the Crowley stage to help kick-off Crowley's Christmas season.
Set in Bedford Falls in 1945 on Christmas Eve, It's a Wonderful Life chronicles the life (and non-life) of George Bailey, the mild-mannered starry eyed man who is shown just how important his life has been. Clarence Odbody, Angel Second Class, the heavenly being sent down to earth to help George, pushes and prods to get George to the realization of how his life has touched so many. Clarence's purposes are not totally angelic, however, for he must get George to this realization in order to garnish his own wings and move to a "true angel" instead of being Second Class.
A flurry of characters parade in and out to assist in proving to George that he is important and that every person's life touches a multitude of others.
It's a Wonderful Life will be presented at the historic Rice Theater in Crowley on Friday, December 4th, at 7:00 pm, on Saturday, December 5th at 7:00 pm and on Sunday, December 6th at 2:00 pm.

Theatre--Review
Meghan Andrepont is a new reviewer for the blog.
CYT of Lafayette presented the musical production of Godspell on Nov. 7th and 8th at the Bayou Bijou Theater in the UL-Lafayette Student Union.
I am a 10 year old girl who went to see the 6 p.m. performance on November 7th. It was fantastic. Godspell is a re-telling of some of the parables from the Bible. The actors and actresses all had beautiful voices and could really carry a tune. Everyone dressed like they were from the 60’s. You could tell they spilled their souls on the stage. Another thing that amazed me was that there were no costume changes. So throughout the tale of Jesus’ story they had leg warmers and rainbow knee socks! Yet all the while the actors were incredibly believable as the characters they portrayed. There were no set changes, yet for me the set seemed different in every scene thanks to the great lighting and direction. The opening act had 4 girls standing behind iron gates with flashlights all speaking in unison about mankind. It was an impressive start to the show.
Jesus, as played by Brendan Carr age 13, did a wonderful job. When he died on the cross and got carried away – I really believed it. Throughout the performance, Carr wore orange Converse shoes with pom poms on top, and striped clown pants. His eyes were marked with black underneath like a football player but there never was a doubt in my mind that he was indeed Jesus. Not only did he do a great job with his own role but also the support that he gave his fellow castmates as they interacted with him was incredible. I couldn’t imagine a 13 year old staring so supportively into the eyes of a character singing “By My Side” to him. Not many 13 year olds would be up to the challenge of playing Jesus, but Brendan Carr did so inspiringly.
While some characters demonstrated great acting ability, others were yawning during important scenes. This might be expected from a play including so many young children. Although everyone did a wonderful job, the people who really made the show stand out were:
Brendan Carr, age 13 (Jesus)
Krista Corbello, age 17 (Seraphina)
Victoria Manning, age 15 (Fiona)
Shelby Matt, age 10 (Joe Ann)
Anna Sternaman, age 9 (Amy)
Amelie Desormeaux, age 14 (Helena)
Sarah Fruge, age 15 (Naomi)
And last but not least, Kathy Pooler, Director.
My mother thought the music was taped, so she was surprised when the musicians came out on stage to take their bows. That is evidence of the fine job they did.
I myself am no real critic, but I think that this play was amazing from a 10 year old`s point of view. Everyone in the audience seemed to enjoy the performance. There was a long standing ovation. Overall, it was a wonderful production. I will be looking forward to the next CYT show.

CYT of Lafayette presented the musical production of Godspell on Nov. 7th and 8th at the Bayou Bijou Theater in the UL-Lafayette Student Union.
I am a 10 year old girl who went to see the 6 p.m. performance on November 7th. It was fantastic. Godspell is a re-telling of some of the parables from the Bible. The actors and actresses all had beautiful voices and could really carry a tune. Everyone dressed like they were from the 60’s. You could tell they spilled their souls on the stage. Another thing that amazed me was that there were no costume changes. So throughout the tale of Jesus’ story they had leg warmers and rainbow knee socks! Yet all the while the actors were incredibly believable as the characters they portrayed. There were no set changes, yet for me the set seemed different in every scene thanks to the great lighting and direction. The opening act had 4 girls standing behind iron gates with flashlights all speaking in unison about mankind. It was an impressive start to the show.
Jesus, as played by Brendan Carr age 13, did a wonderful job. When he died on the cross and got carried away – I really believed it. Throughout the performance, Carr wore orange Converse shoes with pom poms on top, and striped clown pants. His eyes were marked with black underneath like a football player but there never was a doubt in my mind that he was indeed Jesus. Not only did he do a great job with his own role but also the support that he gave his fellow castmates as they interacted with him was incredible. I couldn’t imagine a 13 year old staring so supportively into the eyes of a character singing “By My Side” to him. Not many 13 year olds would be up to the challenge of playing Jesus, but Brendan Carr did so inspiringly.
While some characters demonstrated great acting ability, others were yawning during important scenes. This might be expected from a play including so many young children. Although everyone did a wonderful job, the people who really made the show stand out were:
Brendan Carr, age 13 (Jesus)
Krista Corbello, age 17 (Seraphina)
Victoria Manning, age 15 (Fiona)
Shelby Matt, age 10 (Joe Ann)
Anna Sternaman, age 9 (Amy)
Amelie Desormeaux, age 14 (Helena)
Sarah Fruge, age 15 (Naomi)

The University of Louisiana--Lafayette Department of Performing Arts presents Noises Off! by Michael Frayn in the Burke Theatre November 12th through the 14th at 7:30 pm and November 15th at 2:00 pm. This will be the first production housed in the newly renovated Burke Theatre (located in Burke-Hawthorne Hall on the UL-Lafayette campus). Tickets are $10 for general admission, $5 for UL-Lafayette alumni, senior citizens, students and children and free (with a valid ID) for UL-Lafayette students, faculty and staff. Tickets are only available at the door.
From Wikipedia:
In his plot for Noises Off, Frayn plays on the concept of a play within a play, in this case a dreadful sex comedy titled Nothing On—the type of play in which young girls run about in their underwear, old men drop their trousers, and many doors continually open and shut. Nothing On is set in "a delightful 16th-century posset mill that has been converted to a modern dwelling for which renters are solicited; the fictional playwright is appropriately named Robin Housemonger. Each of the three acts of Noises Off contains a performance of the first act of Nothing On.
In theatrical stage directions, the term "noises off" specifies sounds that are meant to originate offstage.
For more information, call (337) 482-6357.

Ladies of the Cajun Prairie: A Celebration of Four Generations of Cajun Women, a heartfelt homage to our daughters, sisters, mothers and grandmothers just in time for the Thanksgiving season, will be performed by local actors who completed the July 2009 Master Method Acting Workshop in Lafayette taught by NYU Professor Caroline McGee. The performance is scheduled to be presented on the UL-Lafayette campus on November 25th from 5 to 6 pm. It will be presented free of charge, but space is limited and reservations are required, so reserve early by e-mail at mcgeec50@yahoo.com
The play is based on interviews of women from the Pointe Noire/Richard community by folklorist Dr. Donna Onebane and subsequently fashioned into a compelling dramatic piece by New York poet/playwright, Allan Graubard. Graubard is an internationally published writer with works translated into twelve languages. His latest play, Woman Bomb/Sade, explores the world of female suicide bombers and was presented at the New York HOTINK International Festival in 2009.

Lee Strasberg: “The Method is simply what all actors have done when acting well.”
Caroline McGee is announcing a Master Method Acting Workshop for local actors on November 23rd-25th to take place on the campus at UL-Lafayette. Building on the success of Professor McGee’s July 2009 acting workshop at ULL, which introduced 18 actors of various ages and levels of experience and training to the rigors of the Method acting technique, this session will focus on the often eccentric and zany characters in the plays of Anton Chekhov. Modern adapters of Chekhov (Tom Stoppard, David Mamet, Lanford Wilson, Michael Frayn and Tennessee Williams!) will be used. The work will culminate in a presentation of “The Cajun Chekhov” at ULL in December 2009. For more information and/or applications to the workshop, e-mail mcgeec50@yahoo.com
Caroline McGee, an alumna of ULL & UNO, served as Director of The Lee Strasberg Theatre & Film Institute, NYU Tisch School of the Arts Drama Studio and Stonestreet Studios for Film & TV professional program in New York City. Additionally, she is currently offering workshops in the famed Moscow Art Actor Training techniques with members of the Studio Six Company, in residence at The Baryshnikov Center. The MXAT studio school was created by Stanislavski and was the first company to perform Chekhov’s plays. Their current program builds upon that legacy, while also incorporating the subsequent techniques of Meyerhold, Michael Chekhov and Grotowski, among others.
Professor McGee holds a Master’s Degree from the University of California at Berkeley in Directing, Theatre History, Literature & Criticism; actor training with Robert Lewis at The Yale School of Drama; a 2-year acting certificate at the Conservatoire Nationale in Strasbourg, France, on a CODOFIL scholarship.
She studied acting professionally in New York City with master teachers William Esper , Michael Howard, Stella Adler, Wynn Handman and Elaine Aiken (the Strasberg Method).
She has performed at Yale Repertory Theater, Williamstown Theater Festival, NY Shakespeare Festival, Opera Theatre of St. Louis, and in films by Woody Allen and Norman Jewison, with Gregory Peck, Gina Rowland and Gregory Peck, among many others. She is a member of all three actor unions, Actors Equity Association, Screen Actors Guild, and AFTRA.
Caroline’s parents are Sylvia and Dean McGee, retired farmers in the Richard area; 4 siblings, folklorist and local historian Dr. Donna McGee Onebane, Advantage Wealth Manager Gary McGee, Liz McGee Smith, mother of six, and Joseph McGee, a medical courier, all of Lafayette.
