Opening night is only two days away!

Final rehearsals are underway and the show opens on Thursday the 29th.  Get tickets now online from citedesarts.org or reserve your seat by calling Cite at  (337) 291-1122.

The Bat Boy cast at United Blood Services on Friday, July 23rd, giving their blood, sweat and tears for the show.  It was a well-spent afternoon!

Check out the July 21st issue of The Independent!  Our production is featured in the entertainment section.

This week in Bat Boy:

Ruth Diaz (Meredith Parker), Martha Diaz (Shelley Parker) and Phillip Smith (Bat Boy) were interviewed by Judith Meriwether of KRVS (88.7 FM) about the show and the blood drive (see below).  The interview will air on Wednesday, July 21st at 3 pm.  Tune in to hear the actors talk about the production!

The Bat Boy blood drive takes place this Friday (July 23rd) at the UBS center at 1503 Bertrand Drive in Lafayette from 12 (noon) until 4 pm.  Come by and see the cast, maybe catch a performance, and help the whole community.  Here's a map showing the location.

Don't forget that you can reserve tickets by calling Cite at (337) 291-1122 or buy them online at citedesarts.org. If you want a ticket to the special Pay What You Can performance on Friday, July 30th, please call Cite for a reservation.

There are some really exciting plans in the works for Bat Boy!  We're busy finalizing the plans for the UBS blood drive and we'll have more details as soon as they are available.

We're also going to have a specially priced show--"Pay What You Can"!  The cast and crew of Bat Boy are so proud of this production that we want to make sure that everyone can see the show, and we know that the present economy can make it difficult for a lot of people to pay for live local theatre (and that's a problem that the people of Hope Falls can sympathize with!).  So we're planning for the Friday, July 30th show to be the one that audience members pay what they can to see us.

In the same vein, we know that many people of our state are hurting because of the massive oil gusher in the Gulf.  So we're going to take our share of the proceeds of one night of performance and donate them to a charity  benefitting the residents/fishermen of the Gulf.  We're still investigating the various charities, but the benefit show will be on Friday, August 6th.

Cody Daigle (our multi-talented Dr. Parker) can be heard at 1 pm on KRVS (88.7 FM) talking about Home Across the Ocean (Cody's exciting new play which will produced Off Broadway this fall), Bat Boy (of course) and other such things on Tuesday, July 6th.  He'll be chatting with Cheryl Castille, guest host of Lacouture Lagniappe. 

Bat Boy opens on July 29th!

The rehearsal period is drawing to a close.  Bat Boy: The Musical opens in 25 days!  The Bat Boy/UBS blood drive is coming up, and (we hope) there will be a lot more exciting news to share in the next few days!
