2001: An Odyssey Into the Deep

My god, the pool, its full of stars . . .

2001: An Odyssey Into the Deep is an aquatic operatic retelling of the classic 1968 film casting HAL, the nearly sentient artificial intelligence, as an apocalyptic harbinger of human folly. Blending horror, live music, videography, physical storytelling, and water-based performance, 2001 transforms a classic American narrative and explores themes of morality and humanity in the new machine age.

The show features a live soundtrack from the local New Orleans band, The Kissing Disease.

A HAUNTING STORY OF FIRST LOVE, MEMORY, AND THE ARTIST AS A YOUNG MAN.
The Tennessee Williams Theatre Company of New Orleans presents one of Tennessee Williams’ most personal and rarely produced works:
SOMETHING CLOUDY, SOMETHING CLEAR by Tennessee Williams Directed by Augustin J Correro September 10–27
The Lower Depths Theatre at Loyola University New Orleans On the lonesome dunes of Provincetown, a writer wrestles with his conscience and desires. One summer long ago, new love and heartbreak found him washed ashore.
Will he reflect on his choices, relive his past... or choose to rewrite his history?
Tennessee Williams is unabashedly autobiographical in this rarely-seen masterwork of regret and redemption, centering on the dancer he longed for in that now-distant summer. Moving between past and present, memory and invention, Something Cloudy, Something Clear finds Williams looking back at the experiences that shaped the man—and the artist—he would become.

Prepare for an evening of ringing chords, heartfelt music, and high energy as Nocturne Quartet takes the stage, with a featured performance by NOLA Vox.

The 2025 Barbershop Harmony Society Southwestern District Novice Quartet Champions, Nocturne has quickly established itself as one of the region’s exciting emerging quartets. Known for their rich vocal blend, musicality, and contemporary approach to barbershop harmony, their repertoire moves from emotionally resonant ballads to high energy showstoppers, with plenty of personality along the way.

The evening will also feature Family Ties Quartet & NOLA Vox, New Orleans’ all voices a cappella community chorus, bringing the energy and sound of the larger ensemble to the stage.

This performance comes at an especially exciting moment for Nocturne. Just one week later, the quartet will return to the Southwestern District contest stage, competing for the District Quartet Championship.

Spend an evening with the American Patchwork Quartet, where the ease of a front porch gathering meets the artistry of a world class stage. Led by multi GRAMMY® Award-winning guitarist and vocalist Clay Ross, founder of the acclaimed Gullah group Ranky Tanky, this extraordinary ensemble reimagines American roots music through a distinctly global lens. Folk traditions, jazz sophistication, country twang, West African rhythms, and East Asian influences come together in a sound that is warm, textured, and deeply expressive.

Joining Ross are an exceptional group of collaborators: GRAMMY-winning Hindustani classical vocalist Falguni Shah, internationally acclaimed bassist Moto Fukushima, and celebrated jazz drummer Rudy Royston. Together, the quartet creates music that feels both timeless and strikingly new — a reflection of America’s cultural patchwork and the shared stories that connect us all. Their GRAMMY-nominated debut album has earned national acclaim, resonating with audiences through its honesty, warmth, and spirit of unity.

More than a concert, APQ’s visit is a celebration of creativity and community. During their residency, the ensemble will collaborate with St. Charles Parish Public Schools visual arts students, sharing their artistic process across disciplines. The residency will culminate in a public exhibition of student artwork displayed in the theater lobby during the performance, alongside a student matinee and the ensemble’s Main Stage concert for the community.

Accessible, inspiring, and rich with storytelling, American Patchwork Quartet offers an unforgettable evening for music lovers of all ages.

School Matinee Date:
Thursday, Oct. 1 @ 10:00am

For information about joining us for the school matinee, please call the box office at 985.331.3670 or email lafoninfo@wearescpps.org.
