ABOUT: Finally, Interludes is coming home, to the city that inspired this passionate story! Interludes: A New (Orleans) Play is a solo show, written and performed by Claire Christine Sargenti, with original jazz music by Darrell Smith and the Interludes Jazz Band made up of both local and NYC jazz musicians. Violence, passion, and faith catapult 12 uniquely spirited characters on a unifying journey through the chaos of life (and death) in the City That Care Forgot. Pure, honest, and as heartwarming as it is heartbreaking, Interludes reminds us that what's worth dying for is also worth living for. Interludes was recently a huge success at the New York International Fringe Festival, and is very excited to be making it's New Orleans debut at Castillo Blanco!
