FREE SOUTHERN THEATER INSTITUTE

Contemporary Arts Center

7:30pm


Junebug Productions and the Contemporary Arts Center present an evening of original works presented by participants of Junebug Productions' Katrina Story Project.

Through monologues, spoken word, and movement, these young artists confront and share challenges they face post-Katrina and explore how race and racism shape their lives and identity.

The original work in this performance was created through a twelve-week course facilitated by Junebug Productions Artistic Director, John O'Neal, Kiyoko McCrae and Stephanie McKee, and including community members and students from Tulane University and Xavier University. The pieces were constructed from stories shared in story circles throughout the course and a photo language exercise based around the following questions: What is home? What is exploitation? What does Katrina mean to you?

Written and performed by Taylor Britton, Kirk Bush, Maila Jones, Krystal Kofie, Katie Loemelis, Dana Webb. Directed by Kiyoko McCrae.

Tickets: $12 general admission. $10 for CAC members.
