Equity stage managers for THE FESTIVAL IN DA BACK.
In a 1997 Cajun dominated small Louisiana town considered to be the crawfish capital of the world, annual celebrations of the Crawfish Festival are divided by geography and culture. While the official celebrations, the Cajun centric one, happen in the front of town; the Creole Festival happens in the back attracting an influx of visitors to pass in front of the Jolivette family’s home to get to the Festival in da Back.
Serving as the culmination of playwright Brian Egland’s NBT I AM SOUL Residency, this play documents the now defunct Creole Crawfish Festival of Breaux Bridge, Louisiana through the memory and imagination of the playwright, Zydeco music, food, and the rich culture, people, and history of Southwest Louisiana, while showcasing the life of a Creole family gathered for the Crawfish Festival Day.
Please submit your resume for consideration to Soul Series L.A.B & Special Projects Program Manager, Belynda M'Baye.
Deadline: 10/03/2025
