New orleans on stage - june 2025
Through June 1st
Bunny Hill Motel
New Marigny Theatre
Set in 1977 in a rundown roadside motel, Bunny Hill Motel traps its characters in "a boiling pot of
suspicion, lust, and fatal ambition". The plot revolves around John, a desperate man on the run with a bag full of stolen cash, who checks in for what he hopes is one last night of pleasure before escape. But when unexpected visitors arrive - an enigmatic call girl, an ominous 'friend', and a nosy motel clerk - the walls start to close in. Info and ticketing
Through June 6th:
CLOWN BAR 2
The AllWays Lounge, Twilight Theatre
In this follow up to Adam Szymkowicz's long-running comedy hit, the clowns return to the scene of the crime. Two years have gone by since the events of CLOWN BAR, and Happy – the new clown-crime boss – is missing. Foul play is suspected, so two cops from the "beige life" are enlisted to go deep undercover and solve the mystery. Info and ticketing
