Art in St. Tammany didn't brake for Mardi Gras
NATURE OF HELP:A play set in New Orleans, "The Prior 55," will be performed at the Northstar Theatre in Old Mandeville March 6-8. The two-character play is the tale of Mahala, who becomes obsessed with French Quarter street singer Redman and ultimately follows him, only to learn that he lives alone in the woods with no traditional housing. Of course, she wants to "help" him. At that point, says playwright Andrea Fulton, "She’s confronted with her own arrogance and weaknesses as she attempts to get him off the street ... The real question is: Who is helping whom?" Fulton, who left Chicago to resettle in her parents' hometown of Mandeville several years ago, has seen "The Prior 55" produced off Broadway at the Theater for the New City; at the Atlanta Black Theatre Festival at Spellman University in Atlanta; and as part of Dillard University's 90th theater season in New Orleans. This is the eighth play for Fulton, who is also a musician and member of the nonprofit board that oversees the Dew Drop Jazz Hall in Old Mandeville. The local show will star Jill Lane and Sam Warren, who will also direct. Get tickets for an evening or matinee show by calling (718) 669-3195.
