Tomy’s 2020 Year in Review

January 21, 2021 By Tomy Acosta

Dear Ambush Nation, With 2020 in the rearview mirror and we look forward to better times in 2021, it's important to reflect on the last twelve months. I’ve tried to write this column several times, but for some reason, I just couldn’t do it–in part because I’ve been busy, but also I didn’t know exactly what to say. The year 2020 has been unlike any year any of us has ever … [Read more...] about Tomy’s 2020 Year in Review

January 13, 2021 By Brian Sands

Alex Brightman and Wayne Brady/The Seth Concert Series through January 24 Neither Alex Brightman nor Wayne Brady had ever done a live concert with Seth Rudetsky prior to their appearances on The Seth Concert Series, its first and second shows, respectively, of 2021.

December 29, 2020 By Brian Sands

Year in Review I don’t think anyone will be sorry to see the curtain coming down on 2020. In this year-like-no-other, theaters and other performing arts venues throughout our area were forced to shut down in mid-March. For about two months after that, it seemed as though the light that usually shines so brightly on the arts here had gone off as local artistic directors … [Read more...] about Trodding the Boards December 29, 2020

December 15, 2020 By Brian Sands

The Nutcracker at Jefferson Performing Arts Center thru Dec. 20 JPAS Artistic Director Dennis Assaf was justifiably proud, excited, and a bit relieved when he stated during his pre-show speech that The Nutcracker would be the “first live theater production we’ve done here since January.” Though the opening matinee performance had sold out, due to Covid-19 necessities, the … [Read more...] about Trodding the Boards December 15, 2020

December 1, 2020 By Brian Sands

Lillias White/The Seth Concert Series through December 27 Lillias White had been scheduled to appear on The Seth Concert Series on October 4, but had to postpone till November 15.

22nd Annual Transgender Day of Remembrance

November 20, 2020 By Frank Perez

Friday, November 20, marks the 22nd annual Trans Day of Remembrance (TDOR).

I am no … [Read more...] about 22nd Annual Transgender Day of Remembrance

Trodding the Boards November 17, 2020

November 19, 2020 By Brian Sands

Church of Twerk at The Music Box Village How should I describe Ha Sizzle and Team Sizzle’s Church of Twerk? A neo-soul/bounce concert featuring twerking dancers? Immersive performance art?

Taking place at the only-in-New Orleans Music Box … [Read more...] about Trodding the Boards November 17, 2020
