Week of 9/10

This week performing at 810 is The Plastic Theatre of Lafayette's Recovery Academy.  This is such a treat for us to bring to you, and really, a reminder of why we all need the arts in our lives.  The Recovery Academy is a theater project for women recovering from addiction and homelessness.  A collaboration between Plastic Theater and the Acadiana Outreach Center, this project was funded by a generous grant that also makes this production FREE to the public.


Over the past month, a handful of local theatre artists conducted workshops at 810 with the participants, focusing on topics such as acting, improvisation, sound, puppetry, and movement.  From those workshops, a script was created based on the stories of these brave women's lives as they share how they have dealt with addiction and homelessness on the streets of Acadiana.  "Off the Streets" is directed and produced by Keith Dorwick, artistic director of The Plastic Theater of Lafayette and co-directed by Elaine Kibodeaux, member of the improv troupe The Stage Monkeys of Lafayette as well as an active local actor.

This show is not to be missed.  Oscar Wilde once said, "I regard the theatre as the greatest of all art forms, the most immediate way in which a human being can share with another the sense of what it is to be a human being."  Let's come get a sense of these women's lives, Acadiana. 

Admission is FREE.
