THE PLAY THAT GOES WRONG
October 20 – November 6, 2022THE PLAY THAT GOES WRONG, written by Henry Lewis, Jonathan Sayer, and Henry Shields, this comedic farce is filled with chaotic fun. Winner of Best New Comedy at the 2015 Lawrence Olivier Awards, the play follows the Cornley Polytechnic Drama Society in their effort to put on a production of “Murder at Haversham Manor,” a 1920s murder mystery, but nothing can go right. Will these accident-prone thespians make it to the final curtain call?
KYIV CITY BALLET
SAT | OCT 22, 2022 | 7:30PM
Amid a greater struggle, the exemplary dancers of Ukraine’s Kyiv City Ballet are a “voice of resistance” (National Geographic) on the global stage, bringing light and joy in the darkness to audiences worldwide. On February 23, the company unknowingly took what would be one of the last flights out of Ukraine for a long-planned tour. They have since not been able to return home and have been sheltered by France, performing throughout the country and in Europe. Marking their first performances in the U.S., this magnificent company, under the direction of former Mariinsky Theater artist Ivan Kozlov, brings “Tribute to Peace,” a program of works by Ukrainian choreographers. From classical ballet to Ukrainian folk dance, this inspiring evening that showcases the very best of this country’s rich cultural heritage will feature two of the top prima ballerinas of Ukraine – Krystina Kadashevych and Oksana Bondarenko – and Vsevolod Maevskiy, formerly with St. Petersburg’s Mariinsky Ballet. In a show of support and solidarity with these artists, audiences will be uplifted by their talent and sheer determination to continue through such vast adversity.TICKETSSAT | OCT 22, 2022 | 7:30PM Mahalia Jackson Theater New Orleans, Louisiana.SUBSCRIPTIONS

Krewe of BOO! became New Orleans' Official Halloween Parade in 2007 and since then has grown to be a spooktacular weekend of Halloween-themed events, combining the magnitude of Mardi Gras with the macabre theatrics of All Hallow's Eve.
Featuring floats of world-renowned Kern Studios, the parade's beautifully horrific props and sculptures start with talented Kern artists, sketching creative images for the unique Krewe of BOO! Once approved by Chief Spookster Brian Kern’s discerning eye, the images “come to life” as 3-dimensional fiberglass or papier-mâché props that excite and frighten parade-goers with their imaginative artistic style.
Kern Studios is the premier float building organization in America, and the Kern quality rolls in celebrations throughout the world. The thrill of riding amongst the monsters and eerie creatures in Krewe of BOO! is an exhilarating experience you will always remember. Join the Krewe today!
