Southern Rep enters its 25th season as the region’s premiere professional theatre, continuing to produce
bold world and regional premieres under the leadership of Artistic Director, Aimée Hayes and Managing
Director, Marieke Gaboury. In addition to Southern Rep’s ongoing commitment to new play development
with exciting programs like 6X6, PlayLab, and DEBAUCHERY, a host of evocative main stage shows are
taking the stage for this important Southern Rep anniversary. The season began with the underlying
animalisms of seemingly civilized parents in GOD OF CARNAGE, and continues with the trials of an
ambitious artist in RED, while spring brings a fresh production of the American and New Orleanian classic, A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE. We are also thrilled to welcome so many of our friends and neighbors to the Southern Rep this season in the return of the popular CITY SERIES, featuring productions from Ricky Graham, Running With Scissors, Theatre13 and the New Orleans Bingo! Show. Southern Rep offers educational programs such as free student matinees, $10 student rush tickets and Academy SRT; as well as providing an artistic home to new works in development in the annual New Play Bacchanal.
Southern Rep continues to show that it is staging the most important, challenging, and downright mesmerizing pieces of
theater New Orleans audiences are graced to experience.
