Hurricane
Wednesday, September 12, 2012, 5:00 pm
In Anne Galjour's acclaimed solo show, man's manipulation of Nature comes to haunt the lives of six Cajuns (the Dantins, the Cheramies and the Arcenauxs), living at the edge of a marsh in southeastern Louisiana. As the marshland is torn up by the oil industry, heavy rains and a fierce hurricane force alligators and shady oil speculators up to human territory for food and money. Nature herself is a formidable character working on the lives of simple country people caught between the grand forces of Heaven and Earth. $8.
