Location: Mahalia Jackson Theatre
Phone: (504) 569-9070
Admission: $25.00 - $50.00
To commemorate the 5th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, V-Day and the Ashé Cultural Arts Center and the Women Donors Network will once again present Swimming Upstream. The setting will be at the Mahalia Jackson Theater in New Orleans. To document those incidents, for a year and a half following Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, 16 women from New Orleans— including a gospel singer, a teenage filmmaker, a former Vegas showgirl, and a Mardi Gras Indian matriarch—met monthly to share stories and develop original writings about their experiences before, during, and after the storms. In a process facilitated by playwright and activist Eve Ensler (The Vagina Monologues) and Carol Bebelle, Executive Director and Co-founder of Ashé Cultural Arts Center, the writers crafted a powerful theatrical production that tells the raw and soulful stories of women who lived through Hurricanes Katrina and Rita with grace, rage, humor, strength and great resiliency. A 25 percent discount is being offered for the $25, $35 and $50 tickets purchased during July. Groups of ten or more will receive a 10 percent discount on tickets purchased during the month of August. Tickets are available through Ticketmaster or at the theater box office.
