"Hard Living in the Big Easy" honors the Latin American immigrant community and its contributions to the rebirth of New Orleans.

Then, a family friendly arts experience in St. Bernard Parish signals the end of summer. We visit the 3rd and final Summer Second Sunday at Crevasse 22|River House, a sculpture garden and museum in Poydras, Louisiana.

And, four powerful women take over NOMA's Great Hall as the NOLA Project presents Lauren Gunderson's The Revolutionists. It's a female powered comedy set during the French Revolution.
