For nearly 10 years, Louisiana was entrenched in a turbulent period, rife with political disputes and culture clashes. The exhibition Between Colony & State: Louisiana in the Territorial Period, 1803-1812, and its companion online component, examines the people, places, and events that shaped this fascinating period. Highlights include manuscript maps, newspapers from the period, and artists' depictions of life during this time.

New Orleans Museum of Art Presents - Woodward Exhibition Opening Reception

Added to Itinerary |
Times: 5:30 pm - 8:30 pm
Location: New Orleans Museum of Art, One Collins Diboll Circle, City Park
Phone: (504) 658-4100
Come join us at The Museum of Art Opening Reception for the William Woodward Exhibition. Drawing from the holdings of both institutions, the exhibition features more than 70 paintings, etchings, sculpture and ephemera related to Woodward's life and works. A native of Massachusetts, Woodward came to New Orleans in the 1880s to teach fine arts, mechanical drawing and architectural drawing at Tulane University.
Woodward was involved with every facet of architecture in New Orleans, consulting on the design of Tulane's new building for architecture classes. He also designed and built his own home in Uptown New Orleans. His interest in architecture evolved into a passionate commitment to preservation. The first artist to focus intensely on the Vieux Carré, Woodward documented the Quarter's rich cultural heritage in vignettes of daily life-women at market, street cleaners, deliverymen and milkmaids driving drayage carts and residents engaged in their daily activities.
Woodward's depictions of French Quarter buildings focused public attention on the heedless destruction of historic properties. The exhibition offers an opportunity to view a large selection of Woodward's renderings of the French Quarter and to judge the strength of his artistic contribution.

Phone: (504) 522-6545
Admission: $29.00
Join us at the Southern Rep Theatre for the Regional Premiere of the Tony Award and Pulitzer Prize Winner I AM MY OWN WIFE. I AM MY OWN WIFE, written by Doug Wright is the hauntingly complex true tale of Charlotte von Mahlsdorf, a German transvestite who successfully outwitted not only the Nazis and Communists, but could also spot a priceless antique at 100 yards. The play is the hauntingly complex true tale of the quietly dignified Charlotte von Mahlsdorf, a German transvestite who not only outwitted the Nazis and Communists, but could also spot a priceless antique at 100 yards. Playwright Doug Wright spent ten years interviewing Charlotte and developing this play. For Charlotte collected antiques from abandoned or bombed houses, enough to turn her East Berlin home into a museum, and transform the basement into a salon and haven for gay artists and intellectuals struggling to survive under the repressive regime.
She received the Medal of Honor from the reunified German government for preserving antiques and culture. But before her life was over, all of her life story would be called into question. Yet this is not a story about being gay, not a story about being a cross-dresser and not a story about cold war politics. It is a story about survival and one astounding person. And, by the way, its funny, too. Directed by Carl Walker - Co-Production with All Kinds of Theatre. Southern Rep provides discounts for students, seniors, active military, K-12 teachers, and theatre professionals (I.D. required).

Gounod's opera debuted at the Théâtre Lyrique in Paris in 1867, eight years after Faust. The composer again turned to a great work of literature - Shakespeare's timeless drama of doomed love between two teenagers from rival families in 14th-century Verona. Many of the most famous scenes from the play are captured in the opera: Mercutio's charming Ballad of Mab, the Fairy Queen; Juliet's breathless arrival at the Capulets' ball; the nocturnal balcony farewell of the young couple; their secret marriage by the kindly Friar Laurence; flashing swordplay that results in the deaths of two young men; the touching bedroom scene; the magic potion; and the final, anguished meeting of the "star-crossed lovers." Gounod lavished on this score a sure hand with a distinctively French touch, creating some of his most beautifully memorable music.

Come join us for the New Orleans Poboy Preservation Festival.

When a hungry worker would come in off of the picket line the call would go out: "here comes another poor boy!" From those humble beginnings spring the many varieties of the po-boy sandwich; a New Orleans original of which there is no sub-stitute! The Po-Boy Preservation Festival will also highlight the ongoing revitalization of the Oak Street corridor.
