COMING UP

  • Bard at the Batture: Ladies Night

    COMING THIS FALL

    A night under the sky on the banks of the Mississippi, with some of the best classical actors in the city and a bottle of wine in your hand. This time, the women take the stage. Juliet on her balcony. Lady Macbeth in the dark. Beatrice with a score to settle. Cleopatra at the end of the world. One unforgettable evening of Shakespeare's ladies: lovers, schemers, queens, and witches, all under a Louisiana sky.

  • "Crescent City Stage: Raising the bar for theater in NOLA. A wake-up call for a vibrant future!"

    — Bryan Batt, Award-Winning Actor

  • "A must-see for anyone who's curious about the state of American drama."

    — Brian Sands, Ambush Magazine (Primary Trust)

THIS IS WHAT

THEATRE

FEELS LIKE

Something happens when you walk out of a Crescent City Stage production.

You might not be able to name it right away. It might follow you home. It might still be there the next morning, when you're pouring coffee and thinking about a line from the show.

  • "There's something really special about what y'all create and the care, humanity, and soul you bring to the stage."

    —Daniel S, Audience Member

  • "It's hilarious, y'all."

    — Tara Bennett, BroadwayWorld
