Ladies of the Cajun Prairie: A Celebration of Four Generations of Cajun Women, a heartfelt homage to our daughters, sisters, mothers and grandmothers just in time for the Thanksgiving season, will be performed by local actors who completed the July 2009 Master Method Acting Workshop in Lafayette taught by NYU Professor Caroline McGee. The performance is scheduled to be presented on the UL-Lafayette campus on November 25th from 5 to 6 pm. It will be presented free of charge, but space is limited and reservations are required, so reserve early by e-mail at mcgeec50@yahoo.com
The play is based on interviews of women from the Pointe Noire/Richard community by folklorist Dr. Donna Onebane and subsequently fashioned into a compelling dramatic piece by New York poet/playwright, Allan Graubard. Graubard is an internationally published writer with works translated into twelve languages. His latest play, Woman Bomb/Sade, explores the world of female suicide bombers and was presented at the New York HOTINK International Festival in 2009.
