Drama, desserts and the BrechtFest of champions
Your free curated, guide to the arts and culture of New Orleans
[Skip the smalltalk - click here for this week’s edition]
It’s the first newsletter of the month, and so we have your regular round-ups - what’s on stage in the next four weeks or so, and cultural highlights from around the city. We also interview pastry professional Chef Maggie Scales, and preview the small but mighty BrechtFest, now in its 6th year.
This week’s edition:
A round-up of the stage shows you can see in the city during February - everything from Mamma Mia to True West to the latest from the LPO and a celebration of Irish dancing. [click here]
Your highlights for arts and culture over the next few weeks - parades start in earnest, plus Black History Month and, of course, The Super Bowl. [click here]
Our Welcome In series - highlighting the people behind our city’s hospitality industry - continues with Chef Maggie Scales, one of the city’s best pastry chefs and a true connoisseur of confection. In a sweet interview, we talk influences, favourite restaurants and why she can’t watch food-focused TV. [click here]
BrechtFest takes place over two days (Feb 10th and 11th) at AllWays Lounge. It’s quickly becoming one of the best kept musical secrets in the city. We talk to founder David Symons about its origins, and performing for Brecht’s granddaughter. [click here]
Your curated, seven-day culture diary has details of NOLA Eats Fest, the Tiny Treasures Art Bazaar, theatre, library talks and much more. [click here]
There’s news, too: Alma Cafe Mid City opens, NOMA announces a major exhibition of West African masquerade art, artist Jeff Leatham transforms the Four Seasons Hotel and more. [click here]
