This weekend (August 12th through the 14th) is the closing weekend for the AUI production of Bat Boy: The Musical at Cite Des Arts (109 Vine Street, Lafayette).
Bat Boy is the Lucille Lortel- and Outer Critics Circle Award-winning re-imagining of the story of the eponymous Weekly World News star. This high-energy, emotionally complex show brings to life the story of the Bat Boy, dragged out of his cave and taught by a veterinarian's family how to act like a human. When he innocently attempts to fit in with human society in the economically crippled town of Hope Falls, the desperate people turn on him. This darkly comic and hysterically tragic musical examines what it is to be human, what it is to be civilized, and how the past never leaves us, while never ceasing to amuse, entertain, and touch its audience.
Tickets are $15 for general admission and $12 for students and seniors and are available at the door. Reservations can be made by calling Cite at (337) 291-1122 or online at the Cite website.

Theatre--Fundraiser
Acting Unlimited, Inc., the company producing Bat Boy: The Musical, will be holding a fundraising book fair at Barnes and Noble in Lafayette from June 19th- through June 25th. During this book fair, AUI will receive a percentage of everything purchased at the store (with the use of a voucher with the AUI number on it) or online with the use of the voucher number 1028634.
And to thank you (in advance!), the cast of Bat Boy: The Musical is preparing two numbers from the show for a special preview performance at Barnes and Noble on Johnston St. The cast will perform at 6 pm on Saturday, June 19th and 2 pm on Sunday, June 20th.
The book fair itself, where you can make purchases and donate money to AUI, lasts from the 19th to the 25th whenever you can buy books (so 24 hours online, during store hours at the stores).
This is a quick and easy way to help support the company and the show, and get a taste of the musical itself.

Theatre--Performance
Acting Unlimited Inc., a local theater company founded in 1995 (which has produced over 40 stage productions), presents Before You, an original play, written and directed by Daniel Povinelli and co-directed by Walter Brown. The show opens on Thursday, January 8th and runs Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays (January 8-10, 15-17 and 22-24) at 7:30 pm at Cite Des Arts in downtown Lafayette. Tickets are $15.
Before You follows a single, thirty-something scientist named Jason, who is unhappy with his career and devises a "love equation" which he hopes will give him the key to a more fulfilling life. In increasingly surreal and menacing encounters, his boss, aided by a sexy colleague, tries to thwart his efforts to solve the equation. Jason must rely on his perpetually underemployed best friend along with the woman who may hold the key to his future to help hom find the solution--which may not lie in the realm of mathematics. The elusive solution is both simpler and more profound than he realizes...but will he recognize the answer when he sees it?
Povinelli is a professor at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette and is one of the world's leading authorities on animal intelligence. After receiving his Ph.D. from Yale University, he was named one of the "Top 20 Scientists to Watch in the Next 20 Years" by Discover Magazine and his work has been covered by major international media (including Time, Newsweek, the Boston Globe, the Los Angeles Times, the Economist, National Geographic, the London Times, CBS News, National Public Radio, BBC Radio, BBC Television, Japanese Public Television, and Spanish Public Television). Povinelli has been writing fiction and poetry for over 35 years. This is his first public production of an original play.
Povinelli has been involved in local community theater for over five years as an actor, director, and set designer for the Evangeline Players, the Iberia Performing Arts League (IPAL), and Acting Unlimited. Povinelli is co-directing Before You with long-time collaborator Walter Brown, president and technical director of Acting Unlimited. Their co-directorial debut was a production of Thorton Wilder's stage classic, Our Town, for which they were awarded "Best Drama of 2006" by local critic, Ray Blum, who described the production as "one of the finest I have ever seen anywhere." The show won the Louisiana Association of Community Theater's Award for Best Technical Production of 2006.
