Trodding the Boards November 3, 2020

November 7, 2020 By Brian Sands

Theatre For One: For This Moment at Loyola University Hallelujah! Live theater has returned to Orleans Parish! Granted, it was only for two weekends. And audiences were limited. And the run is over now. But it happened and successfully so. What “it” was, was Theatre For One: For This Moment put on by Loyola University’s Department of Theatre Arts & … [Read more...] about Trodding the Boards November 3, 2020

Spirituality, Solace, Mindfulness: What Path to Take?

November 4, 2020 By Catherine Roland

Sometimes I think we have lost the ability to just “be” with ourselves. If we don’t use the time alone to the greatest advantage, it just goes away and is no longer there for the taking. There is a way to view ‘alone’ and ‘lonely’ as two different but equally interesting concepts. Perhaps there have been times lately that you have felt a bit lonely while being with … [Read more...] about Spirituality, Solace, Mindfulness: What Path to Take?

Tony’s Top Fabulous Five November 3, 2020

November 3, 2020 By Tony Leggio

You do not have to feel guilty anymore.  I have decided to change the name of my “Guilty Pleasures” column to “Tony’s Top Fabulous Five”.  Each article will give you my top five interesting ways that help me enjoy myself and forget the crazy world we are living in at the moment.  #5. Pickleball Before a few weeks ago, I had never heard of pickleball.  … [Read more...] about Tony’s Top Fabulous Five November 3, 2020

The Pillowman at Swamplight Theater through November 1 As I headed to Ponchatoula to see a production of The Pillowman, I didn't know what to expect as it would be the first time I'd be attending the theater there. When I got to the Swamplight Theater and discovered that this challenging play was not actually part of its schedule but a presentation by a new, young … [Read more...] about Trodding the Boards October 20, 2020

Tony’s Top Fabulous Five October 20, 2020

October 20, 2020 By Tony Leggio

If there is one thing I have embraced since this quarantine started, it’s that life is too short and nothing is guaranteed. You need to embrace the little enjoyments. Before I kept my guilty pleasures to myself; now I am no longer sorry or embarrassed about the things I like, no matter how silly or crazy they may be. You have nothing to feel guilty of! Here … [Read more...] about Tony’s Top Fabulous Five October 20, 2020

Single Black Female online through October 10 In what I believe is the first extended engagement in Orleans Parish, UNO’s Theatre Program presents its opening production of the fall semester, Single Black Female, through October 10. Granted, it’s not live nor being live-streamed, (it’s actually pre-recorded) but given that tickets are being sold individually for dates … [Read more...] about Trodding the Boards October 6, 2020

Born to Run: The Gay Migration Away from Home

September 28, 2020 By Ryan Rockford

I knew I had to leave.  I had to get out.  I couldn't explain it, and I didn't tell anyone else. I was only 16; I didn't have a plan. I didn’t know when, or how, but I knew that at some point, an opportunity would present itself, and I would take it – I would leave my hometown and my family behind. I love my family and New Orleans, but as I hit puberty and began to … [Read more...] about Born to Run: The Gay Migration Away from Home

The Odd Couple at Playmakers Theater through Oct. 4 It was so good to be heading to the North Shore recently to see a show at Playmakers Theater. First because I was looking forward to visiting this historic 65-year-old playhouse in Covington for the first time since it reopened in July (I missed its A Chorus Line then). And also because, just as the drive began, I got … [Read more...] about Trodding the Boards September 22, 2020

The Diary of a Bank Robbing Lesbian

September 13, 2020 By Frank Perez

“I saw a man on the sidewalk and my dream of spending Xmas at home ended.  He identified himself as F.B.I. and we went in where about 10 others were waiting with a warrant for my arrest. The charge? Bank robbery. The look on mom’s face nearly killed me. Never have I seen her so hurt. I would have rather spent 10 years in jail than to put her through that day.” Thus wrote … [Read more...] about The Diary of a Bank Robbing Lesbian
