"The Juneteenth Story" at Acadiana Center for the Arts

Written by Lafayette artist Twana Benoit in the early 2000s, The Juneteenth Story is a local theatre tradition that centers on the fictional Williams family as they are preparing to celebrate the annual Juneteenth Festival. Through humor, dancing, and music, the story illuminates the significance of this distinctly American holiday. There will be a new special musical guest at each performance, as well as a pre-show performance by Fire Expressions Dance Conservatory each night. 7 pm each night, with additional 2 pm performances on Saturday, Sunday, and Monday. $17–$32. acadianacenterforthearts.org.
