Wanderlust to close out Theatre 810's year with All My Sons by Arthur Miller

There are only 2 weeks left of scheduled performances here at 810 Jefferson Street, but they are a GOOD two weeks, let me tell ya:


- Wanderlust Theatre Co. is proud to present, as the conclusion of the year long city-wide Arthur Miller Centennial Theatre Festival, All My Sons. An American classic, this play explores family secrets, the price we pay for the American Dream, and the moral and emotional scars of war. A family drama that established Arthur Miller as a leading voice in theater, All My Sons takes the audience to a startling and heartbreaking conclusion.

The seasoned ensemble includes Joe Riehl as Joe Keller, Christy Leichty as Kate Keller with Brady McKellar, Kristen DuBois, Aren Chaisson III, Casey Harmon, Catharine Arceneaux, Jordan Umphries, Gabe Ortego and Michael Allgood rounding out the cast. Elsa Dimitriadis directs with John W. Fiero as dramaturg.

Wanderlust's last production was the summer's original stage adaptation of Saint Exupery's The Little Prince.

December 11,12,18 & 19 at 7:30 pm
December 13 & 20 at 3 pm

Theatre 810, 810 Jefferson Street, Downtown Lafayette

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

But that's not all! In the middle of Wanderlust's run, there are two special events we don't want you to miss out on!


- On Wednesday, December 16th, the Silverbacks will present their traditional “Holiday Show.” Each year around the Holidays, Silverbacks interpret their signature improvisations through the lens of a Holiday – a brand new, completely made up Holiday that is. With the audience’s help, Silverbacks will create their very own holiday – think “Festivus for the Rest of Us” from Seinfeld.

For this show, each of the performers will be wearing a Holiday Sweater and invite the audience to do the same. ANY Holiday themed items are welcome – the audience is invited to wear their finest Christmas, Easter, Mardi Gras, or even Groundhog day sweaters to add to the fun. Previous invented holidays were “Paper-Clip Appreciation Day” (2012), “Garden Gnome Day” (2013), and Leonardo

DaVinci's Mother's Birthday (2014). What will be 2015’s holiday?

Tickets can be purchased at the door, beginning at 6:30pm on December 16th, for $10 general admission. Those patrons arriving dressed in their Holiday Finery may purchase tickets for $8!

- Finally, (but not in a chronological way) Acting Unlimited and Theatre 810 would like to thank you all for being so supportive of us this year by inviting you to a our third annual Holiday Inspired Potluck Party! Bring a shareable snack and wear your favorite holiday attire to Theatre 810 on Tuesday, December 15 at 7:30pm and join us to visit one more time before 2016 gets here! If you'd like to participate in an optional White Elephant Gift Swap, bring a wrapped gift worth no more than $10. Gifts should be appropriate for all ages.

This is a FREE event, and you are all invited. Thank you for everything. We wouldn't be here without your support.
