Theatre--Weekend Roundup

Today (Saturday, January 9th) is a busy one for local theatre.  Omni Artiste is holding auditions for its upcoming production of Indigo Blues at Cite Des Arts and Firelight Enterprises is holding auditions for its upcoming musical production of Oliver! at its theatre.  Two companies are continuing their runs of newly opened shows, and the word of mouth about the shows is that both are excellent.  Unwrap Your Candy (Ovation TheatreWorks at The Center for Acadiana Film and Media) and Life is a Dream (Acting Unlimited, Inc. at Cite Des Arts) both begin at 7:30 pm.  There is also a special one time performance of Lovesick Blues: An Evening with Hank Williams, Jr. at the historic Liberty Theatre in Eunice.

Even though the weather is cold, support local theatre!  Audition for or go to a show!

Theatre--Company/Performance

Ovation TheatreWorks, a theatre company which produced two six-show production seasons for Lafayette audiences from 2000-2002, will return to the local theatre scene this fall for a three show mini-season.

The company, which was formed in 2000 with the mission of bringing the local theatre audience productions of smart, compelling works of the contemporary theatre, ceased operations at the end of their second season in 2002. This marks the company's return to the local theatre scene, with two of the company's founders at the helm.

Ovation plans to mount a full production this fall, a full production in the spring, and a special event in December 2009.

The fall show, which is tentatively slated as Doug Wright's Unwrap Your Candy, will run November 6-14 at the Acadiana Center for Film and Media, which served as Ovation's original performance space. Casting for the fall show is underway.
