SOUTHEASTERN LOUISIANA WILL PRESENT SHE DANCED WITH A RED FISH FEB. 19-22, 2019 IN THE BONNIE VORDEN THEATRE. 

“She Danced with a Red Fish,” the winner of the 2018 Inkslinger Playwriting Competition, written by Carolyn Nur Wistrand, will be performed on Feb. 19-22, 2019

The competition called for an original, unpublished, full-length play for the university. Anne-Liese Fox, third time guest director for the theatre department, explained the process of entering the competition down to winning and performing it. “Playwrights from all over the country submit their original plays, and the SLU theatre department offers a full production of this new play,” said Fox. “The contest promotes and encourages new works by playwrights. Achieving this gives Wistrand the opportunity to present her play ‘She Danced with a Red Fish,’ to a 445-seat theatre on this coming Feb.19-22.” According to Fox, Wistrand’s method of storytelling will give a fresh perspective on the most famous Creole woman of New Orleans, Marie Laveau.
