The Dream of the Marionettes or Le Reve Des Marionette, an original musical production, will be performed at Cité des Arts the first three weekends in November. Tickets are now on sale: $15 for adults and $10 for students and seniors. Everyone is encouraged to get their reservations in now because performances are beginning to fill up.
The burlesque-inspired musical, features an all-star fourteen member cast of Lafayette locals, including Erica Fox, Bria Hobgood, Bruce Coen and John Vincent (who also served as the choreographer), with music performed by a live band. The show begins each night at 6:30pm with Cirque De Cite, in the Cité des Arts lobby, featuring fortune tellers, jugglers, stilt-walkers, and an assortment of circus side shows. The play begins at 7:30pm.
In The Dream of the Marionettes, a hard, task-driving puppetmaster is cast aside by a freedom-seeking band of marionettes, who begin to express their hidden dreams and aspirations in song. The play was co-written by local artists Christine Leichty and Johanna Divine, with an original score by Divine and Daniel Coolik, and choreography by New Iberia native, Johnn Vincent.
The show runs every Thursday, Friday and Saturday night from November 5th to November 21st, 2009. Pre-show festivities begin at 6:30 each night, so come early for the best seats. For pre-sale tickets, contact Cite des Arts at 337-291-1122.
