Due to damage to Vonnie Borden Theatre brought on by Hurricane Ida, the Southeastern Louisiana University Theatre Department is presenting their latest production in a rather unconventional venue.
“Big Love,” a dark, romantic comedy by American playwright Charles Mee, will be presented in the Strawberry Stadium Parking Garage Nov. 10 and 11 at 7:30 p.m.
Admission is free.
The play is based on what is considered the oldest surviving play – Aeschylus’ “The Suppliants.” Mee’s adaptation is a contemporary take where fifty brides flee to a manor in Italy to avoid marrying their fifty Greek-American cousins.
Members of the cast include Dominic Arcuri of Killian, Trinity Jacques, Keenen Gillum and Sable Diaz of Slidell, Rayna Myers of Tickfaw, Shelby Grantham of Baton Rouge, Isaiah Smith and Zoe Burns of Kenner, Lauren Price and Robert Alsbury of Denham Springs, Kevin Thompson of Amite, Miguel Garcia of Marrero, and Anthony Addotta of LaPlace.
The production crew includes Sydney Salassi of Livingston as costume designer, Mina Perkins of Covington as scenic designer, and Adrian Cote of Hammond as lighting designer.
