The ball has dropped, the new year is here, and the 2012 season at Opelousas Little Theatre is underway. Our first show of the season is always a Showcase. Showcase is a variety talent show that we at OLT put on to draw local talents from our community as to let them present their specialities on our humble stage. Another prupose is to call attention to our little theatre and to promote the local arts and the talent of the townsfolk. Also, it is a chance to for the directors of the season to pursue castmembers for the upcoming schedule of shows. With this, my seventh Showcase, I can honestly say we have a massively talented group of individuals. Truth be told, our cast is large and most diverse. This year promises to produce one of the most fast-paced and wildly entertaing Showcases in recent memory. On the bill we have actors, dancers, bellydancers, singers, and all are amazing talents with tons of heart and dedication. Young and old, we
form one big dysfunctional family of hilarity and drama that the OLT may not have yet seen. So, if you are a lover of good music, hard laughing, and a little serious drama, you must not miss this chance to see the best that our local community has to offer. Rehearsals are going great and the cast is working hard. The set is fully completed and the theatre is lonesome for large audiences. On a personal note, I'd like to say thank you the OLT board for this opportunity to co-direct Showcase with two other great talents this year. Andy Doucet and Casey Harmon are both seasoned actors and veterans of the OLT and it's been a blast working with them so far and the show hasn't even started yet. Tickets are available at Sebastion Dupre Fine Jewelery, 337-948-4367. The show will run Jan.19, 20, 21, 26, 27, 28 at 7pm. Sunday matinees will run Jan. 22 and 29 at 2pm.
