Dear 

You've waited long enough. Jefferson Parish now has a state of the art palace from which we can do what we've always done - Bring you the Best Value in Arts Entertainment to be found anywhere. The 38th Season of JPAS in our new home is finally upon us. I didn't think it would have taken 38 years from concept to completion but here it is!  And, there ain't a bad seat in the house!  Truly. When you sit in any seat in this beautiful new venue, from orchestra to balcony, the connection to the stage will be truly strong, intimate, and heartfelt. You will feel like a part of the action, and the acoustics are fabulous! You won't want to miss any part of this historic, premier season. We have assembled Giuseppe Verdi's monumental Grand Opera Rigoletto with an international cast. Not enjoyed in our community in over 20 years, you'll delight to My Fair Lady, the first of four blockbuster Broadway musicals we offer. If you missed it in 2012, we reprise The Light in The Piazza, which was nominated for seven Big Easy Awards and won five of them, including Best Musical! The feel-good, jump out of your seat, hand clapping Sister Act comes in December, while everyone's favorite Nanny, Mary Poppins literally flies off the stage in March. Everyone's Christmas is complete after witnessing the timeless classic The Nutcracker, and for your continued classical ballet "fix", don't miss A Midsummer Night's Dream - Shakespeare's fantasy set to music by Felix Mendelssohn. When you consider that the new JPAC is centrally located, easily accessed and with plentiful parking, and that our ticket prices are most reasonable, you'll agree that JPAS offers the Best Value in Arts Entertainment

But that's not all. Check out what's happening in our Teatro Wego! cabaret space. The most amazingly successful, nostalgic, New Orleans Jukebox Musicals are back and with a third installment. In addition to reprising Blueberry Hill and Ain't Got No Home, we are excited to premier Hello Josephine. But how will the employees of the Blueberry Hill Bar and Grill survive now that "Cos", their Boss and figurehead (not to mention the author and director of the shows) has dropped dead of a broken heart? Well, you'll just have to buy a ticket and see. While you're at it, don't miss The Amorous Ambassador from the same author that brought you last year's hilarious farce Sex Please We're Sixty

There's more to share and you can get it all by reading all the great news on our website. Attention Teachers and Parents! Please make special note of the Arts Adventure Series offerings for students listed in the sidebar and check out all the auditions coming up for our Theatre Kids Competition Team and for the end of year Nutcracker production. One last thought. Why not invite a member of the Military: Active Duty, Reserve or Retired to be your guest? If it weren't for them, we wouldn't have an American cultural life to celebrate. Think about it.  As always...

 

 

I'll see you at the Theatre!



Sincerely, 
Dennis Signature
