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

Trodding the Boards October 6, 2020

October 7, 2020 By Brian Sands

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

Nicole Barwick and Erin Kate Young in The Odd Couple (photo by Carla Barwick)

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

September 11, 2020 By Tony Leggio

With this damn virus robbing us of so much of life, like parties and events, it’s the little things I am finding joy in doing.  Whether it is something simple or special, I now appreciate almost everything so much more. Here are just a few of my latest obsessions. Check out September's part one list. #5. Becoming a tourist in my own city and riding the Steamboat … [Read more...] about Guilty Pleasures for September 2020 (Part Two)

The cast of 12 Angry Men

12 Angry Men at 30 by Ninety Theatre through September 13 Reginald Rose’s 12 Angry Men may be over 65 years old, but in our current age of overwrought passions, distortion of facts, and demonization of the “other”, this courtroom drama remains as timely as ever. Mandeville’s 30 by Ninety Theatre (880 Lafayette St.) is wise to present it now. Originally done on TV in 1954 … [Read more...] about Trodding the Boards September 8, 2020

NOAGE Walking Group The New … [Read more...] about Guilty Pleasures for September 2020

Book of the Month: Chronicles of One trilogy by Nora Roberts

September 2, 2020 By Tony Leggio

There is nothing like reading a novel about the end of the world during a global pandemic.  Nora Roberts has penned the Chronicles of One trilogy that starts with a virus that wipes out most of the population leaving the survivors to come to terms with a new world that now includes magical beings, crazy religious zealots called purity warriors, violent crazy gangs called … [Read more...] about Book of the Month: Chronicles of One trilogy by Nora Roberts

Southern Decadence 2020 Update: The Southern Decadence That Wasn’t

August 28, 2020 By Frank Perez

2019 Southern Decadence Grand Marshals

In a normal year, this column would introduce you to the year’s Southern Decadence Grand Marshals. But as we all know, 2020 is anything but normal.  With the bars closed and City Hall not issuing parade permits, Southern Decadence 2020 has effectively been canceled.  Or has it? That question has generated a lot of discussion on several Southern Decadence Facebook … [Read more...] about Southern Decadence 2020 Update: The Southern Decadence That Wasn’t
