Comedy night with Adam Touchet

Now that Acting Unlimited's successful LIVES OF THE SAINTS RUN HAS ENDED, we are looking forward to our next event--Adam Touchet Live on Friday, January 27th at 8pm!.  This will be Theatre 810's first stand up comedy night, and Adam will be joined by Will Merrill, Tyler Futrell, Matthew Mitchell and Sophie Panek.  

We're hoping for a great crowd to welcome Adam's first visit to Theatre 810, so if you like stand up, join him and his friends for a great Friday night of comedy!

LIVES OF THE SAINTS information

AUI will kick off Theatre 810's 2012 performance calendar with LIVES OF THE SAINTS, an evening of riotously funny one-act comedies by one of the contemporary theatre’s brightest comic playwrights, David Ives.

LIVES OF THE SAINTS is an evening of seven quirky, funny and wildly imaginative one-acts by Ives. In SAINTS, Ives’ comic imagination takes audiences to ancient Mesopotamia for the construction of the Tower of Babel, to a wee British vicarage fora twisted “Masterpiece Theatre” murder mystery, to a quirky souvenir shop where a wildly exotic love blooms, and into a TV set where a couple finds themselves lost in a blur of channels. And that’s just half the evening.


LIVES OF THE SAINTS is directed by Cara Hayden, who co-directed AUI’s summer production of A MIDSUMMER NIGHT’S DREAM. The production features performances by Erin Segura, Elaine Kibodeaux, Gerard Ducharme, John Snyder, Martha Diaz, Vincent P. Barras, Cindy Hebert, Phillip Spear, Joseph Diaz, Cody Dunstan, Kaan Dere, Nancy Dere, Anne Dronet and Kathy Arceneaux.
