Mark Your Calendars!

2015 is here, and things are pretty quiet a Theatre 810 for the moment.

...But that won't last for long!

On Wednesday, January 28th, Silverbacks Improv Theatre will help us ring in the New Year with their monthly improv show! The show will start at 7:30 and tickets can be purchased at the door for $7 (or $5 with a current student ID).


For the first two weekends in February, Wanderlust Theatre Co. (who brought you MR. BURNS in December) will return to Theatre 810 to present Lawrence & Lee's INHERIT THE WIND. In a fresh, modern, multimedia retelling of a small town courtroom with the eyes of the nation upon it, two legal giants face off over the age-old conflict between science and faith.

This diverse, twenty-five person ensemble varies in age fourteen to eighty, novice to seasoned. Cara Hayden Bacque plays Madison Brady with Duncan Thistlethwaite as Henry Drummond. Aren Chaisson III portrays the teacher, Bertram Cates, with Elizabeth Satterly's Rachel Brown caught in the mix.

This is the second production in the 2014-15 Wanderlust season. It follows last season's popular productions of Steinbeck's Of Mice & Men and the first annual outdoor Shakespeare production of Comedy of Errors which was held at Johnson's Boucaniere, among others.

February 5,7, 12-14 at 7:30 pm
February 8 at 3 pm with talk back session to follow
Theatre 810, 810 Jefferson Street, Downtown Lafayette
Tickets are $15/general admission, $12/students with ID & seniors over 65.

For ticket reservations, call (337) 484-0172 or purchase online at inheritthewind.eventbrite.com


And them Mardi Gras will be upon us! If your spot on the parade route is near us, stop in at 810 for bottled water between parades.

Once the Mardi Gras barricades have been cleared out, Acting Unlimited will bring you the regional premiere of Rory Jobst's SUPER-WELLESIAN.

In Superman issue #62, legendary filmmaker Orson Welles appears as himself. With the help of the Man of Steel, Orson takes down a ruthless army of Martian Fascists. Super-Wellesian reconnects these two characters to record a radio drama version of their exciting adventure. Much to Welles' dismay, Acting is not one of Superman's powers and conquering Martians may not be the duo’s biggest challenge after all.

The cast includes several familiar faces in the Acadiana theatre community: Michael Cato as Superman, Casey Harmon as Orson Welles, Amy Brown as Lois Lane, Tim Hyde as Jackson Beck, and Erik Schneider as famed Martian Actor, Clark Marble.

The show's dates are February 20, 21, 26-28 at 7:30pm with a matinee on Sunday, February 22 at 3:00pm. Tickets are $10. For ticket reservations, call (337) 484-0172 or order online at auisuperwellesian.eventbrite.com
