The Iberia Performing Arts League is proud to announce its 2012-2013 season. Located in the classic Essanee Theater in downtown New Iberia, IPAL provides live theatrical entertainment to its audiences. It also provides an artistic outlet for actors, singers, musicians, set artists, technicians and many others. The upcoming season will feature a summer youth musical, as well as a five play regular season. In addition, in advance of the season IPAL will hold its annual 2012-2013 Membership Drive and Season Ticket sale.
First up on the stage (July 12-22) will be the IPAL’s Summer Youth Theater Production of Disney’s Mulan. Young people (ages 10-21) are invited into the large cast, and due to the success of previous Summer Youth Productions 8 performances will be held rather than the previous 6.
Opening the 2012-2013 Season will be Remember When Again. A sequel to 2010’s wildly successful Remember When this will be an original "Broadway style" show employing the Folk, Motown, Rock, Hippie and other music of the 1960's era. IPAL’s live band “The Berry Classics” will return and along with the singing and dancing cast will perform 22 songs! The original script, by Jim Wyche, involves plans to tear down a "1950's style" soda shop to put up a parking lot. The show will run August 16-26, 2012
Lilies of the Field (Oct. 18-28) is an adaptation by Andrew Leslie of the 1963 Academy Award winning movie for which Sidney Poitier received the Academy Award. It is based on a semi-biographical novel by William Edmund Barrett. A Christmas Story (Dec. 6-16) ,another stage adaptation, is based on the ever popular movie of the same name. By Philip Grecian this show will bring an adult and youth cast together in what will sure be wonderful holiday experience.
IPAL’s Spring Musical will be Man of La Mancha. With script by Dale Wasserman, music by Mitch Leigh, and lyrics by Joe Darion, this Tony Award winning musical, a dramatic and uplifting production, is based on the Spanish novel Don Quixote by Cervantes and is sure to be another IPAL sellout. It urges us, even now, to "Dream the Impossible Dream." The show will run March 7-24, 2013.
Closing out the season, May 30-June 9, will be See How they Run by Philip King. A classic British farce set during World War II with multiple cases of mistaken identities and raucous chases through an English Vicar's house, it is sure to provide lots of laughs.
