Trodding the Boards September 7, 2021

September 11, 2021 By Brian Sands

Houston and Dallas on the Evacuation Tour I hadn’t expected to stay in Texas for 10 days when I evacuated the day before Hurricane Ida hit. I hoped it would be like so many other storms that have threatened NOLA over the years which turned out to be more much ado about nothing than the tempest. Mother Nature had another tale in mind, though. First of all, I hope everyone … [Read more...] about Trodding the Boards September 7, 2021

Matilda, the Musical at Swamplight Theatre It’s almost hard to believe that it’s been just two years since Matilda, the Musical had its regional premiere with a stellar Tulane Summer Lyric production as, in that short pandemic-filled time, it’s become a staple of local high schools (Hahnville in pre-Covid 2020) and community theaters with three productions scheduled in the … [Read more...] about Trodding the Boards August 10, 2021

Lehrer's Lyricisms at Canal Place Cinemas on July 15 (with possibly more dates to come) Since the demise of Le Chat Noir and Mid-City Theatre, New Orleans has been hungering for a venue suitable for cabaret, revues and small-scale theater. As it turns out, the solution might’ve been right before our eyes. Lehrer's Lyricisms, a new revue featuring the songs of Tom Lehrer, … [Read more...] about Trodding the Boards July 13, 2021

Mount Rushmore and Southwest South Dakota I was looking forward to two days of exploring southwest South Dakota with a friend in his Airstream, but thanks to American Airlines’ mega-snafu of delays and cancelled flights, which forced me to spend 23 hours in the Dallas/Fort Worth Airport and a nearby Super 8 Hotel, I wound up with only a day in the 40th State. Frustrating as … [Read more...] about Trodding the Boards June 29, 2021

Songs for a New World at the New Orleans Jazz Museum Hallelujah! Live musical theater performances have returned to New Orleans! Under its “Lyric Lagniappe” banner, Summer Lyric Theatre at Tulane University (SLT) recently presented Songs for a New World at the New Orleans Jazz Museum.

New in New York Broadway will be reopening in September and, elsewhere in New York, live performances have begun happening again, all great news. During a recent visit there, though I noticed only a few street musicians, I was able to go to a number of museums, some featuring special exhibitions, one in an exciting temporary location, and two even in Queens! While The … [Read more...] about Trodding the Boards May 18, 2021

Eurydice at the UNO Amphitheater After two online productions last fall (Single Black Female and The Emperor Jones), Theatre UNO rousingly returned to live performances recently with an outdoor production of Sarah Ruhl’s Eurydice. Though I’ve attended many productions at UNO over the past 15+ years, this was my first time at its Amphitheater--I even had to ask where it was, … [Read more...] about Trodding the Boards May 4, 2021
