Theatre--Performance




Co-directors Walter Duncan McBride and Travis Fontenot lead the way on a quest back in time to Verona, Italy around 1590.  The players of the Opelousas Little Theatre will breathe life into William Shakespeare's iconic tale of Romeo and Juliet on the Delta Grand stage this Wednesday night in downtown Opelousas. Join this unforgettable event of comedy and tragedy with some of the area's best actors.  Many OLT veterans populate the cast, but there are even more that are new to our community theater.  Acadiana offers to us her best student actors from the tri-parish area and numerous area high schools from OHS, OC, to Pine Prairie and others.  This is a true testament of community unity.

     Among the cast are Andrew Markel (Romeo) from Lafayette High and Austin Guidroz (Juliet) from Opelousas Catholic.  Jersten Seraile (Tybalt) and Cody Richard (Benvolio) attend OHS.  Sarah Bourgeious (Nurse) and Dalton Guiterrez (Paris) attend Pine Prairie High.  Andy Doucet (Mercutio) and Casey Harmon (Friar Lawrence) are long time veterans of the OLT stage.  This is just a glimpse of the talented cast of 18 area actors.

     The show starts Wednesday, April 6th at the Delta Grand.  The show schedule is as follows:  April 7th, 8th, 9th at 7 pm, 10th at 2pm, April 13th, 14th,15th, 16th at 7 pm and the 17th at 2 pm.
  
     Advance tickets can be purchased at Sebastien-Dupre Fine Jewelry or by phone at (337-948-4367), or at the door on the day of show.  April 15th is sold out.  Get your tickets early,as they are going quick.  Tickets are $10.
