Mainstage
Southern Rep offers a full slate of performances, from our Mainstage season to a host of staged readings, special events, and theatre for young audiences every year.
“Go Fast Daughter | Reach For Higher Ground and Build | It’s Your Destiny To Fulfill | And Go”
New Orleans playwright Pamela Davis-Noland’s bold new play CHEMIN DU BAYOU follows the journey of a woman fulfilling her destiny through an exciting mix of storytelling, song, and dance, developed out of historical research and oral histories from former St. Rose de Lima parishioners and students and current entrepreneurs along Bayou Road. A theatrical celebration about New Orleans not to be missed!
