Roommates and the closest of friends in their salad days, actors Mary and Roz have been estranged for half a century. Each a star in her own right, both are now facing all the challenges that come with age. In fact, Mary is dying, and Roz has just died. In a deathbed fever dream, Mary is visited by Roz, who has been challenged by the spirits of Helen Hayes and Edwin Booth to help Mary find the peace that will allow them both to ascend to their rightful position in the afterlife. Styled with wit and poetic diction, this surreal piece is well stocked with the accumulated lore of lifetimes in the theatre and is imbued with the quest for redemption and meaning.

LAMINARIA is a Folk Horror Chamber Suite evoking images of an underwater shadow ghost emerging from the deep. This hauntingly provocative music and dance piece serves as a metaphor for the cycle of birth and death and explores the need to break free from the demons confining our bodies even in contemporary society.
Melanie Maria Goodreaux’s latest play addresses the complicated racial distinctions that plague one New Orleans family with a line of lighter skinned African-Americans that “pass for white.” They “pretend” to be white to reap the benefits that come with ‘whiteness’ but at what cost? Love lives long in New Orleans, and here romance, family secrets, and generational curses get all mixed up in Alva’s gumbo!
