Theatre--Performance

Acting Up (in Acadiana), the professional, multi-disciplined performing arts company in residence at the Acadiana Center for the Arts, presents The Doggie Monologues III, the 2010 Student Showcase, and an original play written by Lian Cheramie, George Saucier, Harmony Decker and Acting Up (in Acadiana) students. Performances will take place Friday, January 22nd at 7:30 pm and Saturday, January 23rd at 2 pm and 7:30 pm. The Doggie Monologues III personifies the stories of animals who live or who have lived at Lafayette Animal Aid, a no kill shelter. Both humorous and touching, the production aims to educate the public about the mission of LAA and to teach the young actors how they can make a difference through their art. Directed by Amy Waguespack, with assistants George Saucier, Kara Guarisco, and Megan LeBleu, The Doggie Monologues III features performances by over 40 actors ages 7-16.
