Lagniappe Stage
By increasing the number of “seats” at our theatre-making table, we start to cultivate and grow long-term community relationships.
The Vision
In 2016-17, Southern Rep launched a new Community Engagement program that requires and involves community in a meaningful way. By increasing the number of “seats” at our theatre-making table, we start to cultivate and grow long-term community relationships. SRT will not only deepen its relationship with the multiple communities of which we are a part but simultaneously increase our value as a cherished cultural organization in New Orleans.
What Is The Community Table?
The community table is a platform for art-making and conversation. We work to include to a diverse representation of our community in the planning and design of that programming in an effort to provide the most nutritious and enriching offerings possible.
