Theatre at St. Claude's 'BE A NEW ORLEANIAN' Extends Through First Weekend in March

The Theatre at St. Claude is giving you one more weekend to get sworn in! "Be A New Orleanian: A Swearing in Ceremony (Presented By Dirty Coast)" by Jim Fitzmorris is being held over for the first weekend in March.

Directed by Mike Harkins, "Be A New Orleanian" is a wild, comic ride through what it takes to call yourself a citizen of The Crescent City. History, heartbreak, and celebration are all part of an evening from a performer/writer The Times Picayune calls "electric."

The production runs Friday through Sunday, March 4th-5th at 8 p.m. and March 6th at 6 p.m. at The Theatre at St. Claude, 2240 St. Claude Avenue, NOLA, 70117. Tickets are $20. Call (504) 638-6326 or go to the website.

A playwright and performer, Jim Fitzmorris is a native New Orleanian who can trace his family's roots in the city back to 1847. He has spent the better part of the last decade writing about the city he calls home taking on politics (With Malice Towards All), the school system (Urban Education Smackdown), post-Katrina recovery (From A Long Way Off), and most recently the changing nature of the newspaper business (A Truckload of Ink).

Located in the heart of the historic Fabourg Marigny, The Theatre at St. Claude is in search of an audience that revels in the whisper of conspiracy, delights in a collective gasp, and enjoys a taste for the curious oddity. New Orleans premiere venue for the wild, weird, and wondrous, The Theatre at St. Claude invites you to become part of its year-round programming of music and performance.
