The Rope in Your Hands

STUDIO 194 THEATRE

Saturday, Aug 29 at 8:00pm

Pay What You Can - All proceeds will be donated to the Louisiana Red Cross for continuing relief efforts.

A special one-woman show commemorating the resiliency of the human spirit will be performed on the fourth anniversary of Hurricane Katrina.

This original one-woman show is written and performed by Maryland actress Siobhan O’Loughlin from her interviews with New Orleanians, taken after Katrina hit the Crescent City. Hear the voices of multiple New Orleanians of all ages and races as they cope with life after the hurricane – all performed and evoked by one talented actress.

Fans of Anna Deavere Smith or John Leguizamo’s one-person shows will enjoy this performance, as O’Loughlin assumes the persona of each of the voices as she flows seamlessly between their stories.

To reserve tickets call 410.636.6597
