Week of 9/17

We at 810 are simply over the moon about all of the things that are happening at our theatre!  From productions to rehearsals to classes, there really isn't any time that something isn't happening.  Also, on the administrative side, we continue to refine our process, last week completing a Venue Rental Guide that will help clearly explain our policies and offer tips to guest producing companies and artists. 

Last month, The Stage Monkeys of Lafayette were forced to cancel their show due to Hurricane Issac.  So, this month, they are performing TWICE to accommodate the demand for their shinanigans - Tuesday the 18th and Wednesday the 19th at 7:30 pm.  Did you know that studies suggest that children laugh almost 400 times more frequently than adults each day?  And, did you know that MBA programs such as Duke are now teaching improvisation as part of their curriculum to encourage adaptability and reactibility?  So come laugh like a kid and learn like a business grad at 810 this week!  Tickets are $7/general and $5/w student ID, and you can reserve over the phone or purchase online through EventBrite.

Also at 810 this week, the AUI Theatre Academy acting classes (for all ages) are in full swing Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday (you still have time to register before it's too late!).  Rehearsing in 806 and 810 is AUI's Dracula and Wanderlust Theatre Co.'s The Monster Tales.  On Sunday, the UL Department of Performing Art's student production of Proof is loading in, but more on that next week!  Whew! Until then....
