Hot Jambalaya
Closes April 5th!
Family ties, lies, secrets, and the treachery of old New Orleans aristocracy boil over in Hot Jambalaya, an exciting new murder musical comedy from Dad’s Garage!
When Papa Joe “Sewer King” Van Horn takes a fatal spill from a French Quarter balcony, his eccentric family, friends, and professional associates gather for his funeral aboard the aging steamboat Fleur de Lis only to make a series of startling discoveries: Papa Joe was murdered, every single person present wanted him dead, and the killer intends to strike again!
Scandal!
Opens April 12 @ 8:30 PM
Family-owned Old Froth Ward, once the ultimate summer destination and a bastion of aquatic excess, is now on the brink of closure due to increased accidents, bad investments, failed rides, rumored water issues, and internal family drama. As the summer season begins, unsettling questions arise amongst the park and the public like floaters in a churning wave pool of uncertainty: What is the future of Old Froth Ward? Will a corporate giant convert the park into a luxury resort, or will the current ownership's grandiose ambitions revive it? Or will it become an abandoned relic washed away in the splashing stream of capitalism's water coaster? The park’s future hinges on the decisions made in the heat of this summer's primetime season when corporate greed, summer jobs, and family drama collide!
