A Toast to New Orleans and YOU! Week of October 20 -25- Last chance to RSVP to the Round Table Luncheon on Wed, Oct 20 at noon at Tujaque's.
Good morning my darling family and friends! It is Monday, October 18 and I am grateful to be alive, healthy, and able to wish all of you a blessed week. Wake up on your Monday morning and take a moment to think about all the things in your life that you’re happy and grateful for. Let this Monday be kind to you: be happy with what you have and accept the things which you cannot change. Keep a smile on your face and face the day with big positive energy. You’ll find that your positive energy will bounce back off other people, which will result in you and everyone around you having a great day. Have a blessed week and wear your mask. 
Darlings, I am so happy to be back in my beloved New Orleans. My darling friend Laurie Scott invited me to accompany her to a cultural fun-loving trip to Chicago and of course I was ready. We had a very memorable time visiting the Van Gosh Immersion Exhibit, the Art Institute of Chicago, the Field Museum, the theater where we saw "American Mariachi " and concluded it at Chicago's Dinner Theater Drag Show " Glitz and Glam at Lips." Staying at the exquisite Palmer House House in downtown Chicago made it to be a very special brief sojourn.

DEAR MR. WILLIAMS DATES: OCTOBER 9 – 24, 2021New Orleans most historic theatre company, Le Petit Theatre, begins its 105th season in October with Bryan Batt’s Dear Mr. Williams.Dear Mr. Williams is an authentic and wonderfully theatrical coming-of-age one-man play set in the colorful, sensuous, and magical city of New Orleans. Told both through the humorous and sometimes heartbreaking voice of its native son author, Bryan Batt, as well as through the celebrated works of Tennessee Williams. Drawing from the iconic writer’s noted classic plays to his more obscure poetry and short stories, an enthralling tale of discovery is woven as Tennessee’s masterful words inspire the narrative celebrating exciting revelations and undeniable truths. Life’s mysterious and magical journey can be a turbulent rollercoaster ride, but it’s so much more thrilling with Tennessee Williams as your guide.First seen as an informal reading produced by Le Petit Theatre during the New Orleans Tennessee Williams Festival, the work then had a workshop seen on the Le Petit Theatre stage in 2019
