The OLT is proud to invite you to join us for our upcoming production of Superior Donuts by award winning playwright Tracy Letts. Superior Donuts tells the story of Arthur, a down and out man, running a down and out donut shop, and his relationship with Franco, a young African American man with big dreams, big plans, but also a very big secret. Through Arthur and Franco's conversations, Letts explores a variety of topics such as race, class, social justice, friendship, and living life to the fullest. Joining Arthur and Franco in this tale are a couple of police officers, a grumpy Russian and his imposing nephew, an alcoholic bag lady, and a pair of "debt collectors" who may have bitten off more than they can chew.
Superior Donuts runs April 12-14 and the 19-21 at 7PM. There will also be two matinee shows on April 15th and 22nd at 2PM. Tickets for all shows are $10.00, and can be purchased in advance at Sebastien Dupre Fine Jewelers in Opelousas, or at the door the day of the show.

Theatre--Performance
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. For more information feel free to contact me (Walter Duncan McBride) at 337-351-3822

Lyrics by Tom Chiodo
Book by Peter De Pietro
CLUE the Musical brings the internationally popular board game to life on stage. This is an interactive musical starting with three audience members selecting one card each from three oversized decks and placing it in an envelope marked "Confidential." The envelope is then left untouched until the end of the production. The chosen cards will determine the ending of the show, which has 216 possible conclusions. These card selections also determine some interchangeable dialogue between certain characters which are delivered as the play unfolds. The audience is given clues as the show progresses that they will use to deduce the outcome on a provided game form. So basically, not only do the audience draw cards to decide the secret outcome, they play the game while the Suspects act on stage. Those who guess correct combination of Suspect, Room, and Murder Weapon will recieve a prize for their efforts...

Two households, both alike in dignity,
In fair Verona, where we lay our scene,
From ancient grudge break to new mutiny,
Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean.
From forth the fatal loins of these two foes
A pair of star-cross'd lovers take their life;
Whose misadventured piteous overthrows
Do with their death bury their parents' strife.
The fearful passage of their death-mark'd love,
And the continuance of their parents' rage,
Which, but their children's end, nought could remove,
Is now the two hours' traffic of our stage...
