by John Guare
directed by Phyllis E. Griffin
1801, In New Orleans. A Pulitzer Prize finalist in 2011, this absurd Restoration comedy features the charismatic womanizer Jacques Cornet, the wealthiest man of color in town. Filled with the sexual and racial innuendo, his raucous New Orleans is threatened by a new map of the Louisiana Purchase territory.

The city of New Orleans guest stars (in spirit) in this exacting tale of power, political systems, and inalienable rights.

Recommended for mature audiences.
