For THREE nights ONLY, (February 28th, 29th and March 1st) the Fountain Room will be transformed into a professional theatre, with elaborate sets, lighting, and sound.

Upon arrival, you will enter into the living breathing swamplands of the Louisiana Bayou, and you will be taken on a journey back in time, to the depression era of the early 1900’s.

With a cast of seven, through clothing, set design, and music, you will venture back nearly 100 years, to witness first hand, what life might have been like during such a pivotal point in American history.

To accomplish this with a powerful sense of realism, the Director has chosen the colorful life and times of legendary Blues and Gospel artist "Laurence Douglas Miner", born and raised on the outskirts of Baton Rouge, Louisiana, in 1923. The story is delivered through the classic
theatrical medium of "narrative" and "song", with Laurence himself as the storyteller. It is not made clear in the history books, whether or not Laurence was a real, or fictitious character of the era, and in the end, it is up to you, the audience, to decide. Laurence takes us on an enlightening roller coaster ride of stories and songs, and he treats us to an eye opening and entertaining glimpse of life in these economically troubled times.

Through his music, he turned the "Blues" into "Gospel", and oppression into hope. He will captivate you, and move you to your feet, your soul will dance it’s way home after this performance, guaranteed!
