Tonight I take the stage at Old Marquer Theatre (known to many as The Shadowbox) for the last time.
Due to some unfortunate circumstances, and some typically Neo New Orleans dick baggery, Old Marquer is closing its doors at the end of this month.
Tonight will be a star studded ensemble of extraordinary performers from all over the area and throughout the performance community who have graced the stage of Old Marquer over the years.
This theatre has housed too many wonderful productions over the years to count, and I have had the pleasure of being in some splendid productions myself here in that time.
It is a loss to this city, as well as to the performance and theatre community as a whole. It's the end of an era, with a lot of changes in this city, not for the better. (Ask some locals and they'll tell you what I'm talking about.)
But tonight, we plan to go out with a bang. Performing, laughing, and cutting loose. Covered in liquor, and half naked. As it should be.
