Join us on Thursday, March 24th at 8:00 PM for Literary Late Night, a dynamic night of entertainment in two parts. First the National Comedy Company will take to the stage and make up a musical skit on the spot (with you, the audience’s help) a.k.a the most ridiculous show that Tennessee Williams never wrote!

After the comedy show, stick around for our Poetry Slam hosted by New Orleans’ own Chuck Perkins. Spoken word artists will compete for a $100 prize. If you’re a slam poet, come sign up between 7:00-7:30 PM. Get your best rhymes ready! Audience members, we’ll need your help to judge and find our Slam Champion. (Ticket Code: LitLateNightTh8)

Bedtime Stories (Literary Erotica and Burlesque): Friday, March 25th, 8pm.

Back by popular demand on Friday night, March 25th at 8:00PM is Bedtime Stories, a night of literary erotica hosted by Veronica Russell with Chris Lane. Actors and authors will read from classic sexy texts while burlesque dancers from Fleur de Tease entertain with their sultry moves. Be warned: this event is designed to titillate and is not for the faint of heart! Featuring Jarret Lofstead, Lisa Picone, Ratty Scurvics and Jeni Stewart. (Ticket Code: BedtimeFri8pm)
