Dream of the Marionettes

Dream of the Marionettes, a burlesque-inspired musical, features an all-star cast of Lafayette locals with music performed by a live band. In Dream of the Marionettes, a despicable puppet master is cast aside by his lively band of marionettes, who begin to explore their hidden dreams and unlikely aspirations. The play was co-written by local artists Christine Leichty and Johanna Divine, with an original score by Divine and Daniel Coolik, and choreography by New Iberia native John Vincent. It played to sold-out houses in 2009 and 2010 in Lafayette and was selected for both the New Orleans and New York International Fringe Festivals in 2010. Night performances begin at 7:30 pm, with 2 pm Sunday matinees. $15. citedesarts.org or (337) 291-1122.
