THEATRE SEASON

Theatre UNO in the School of the Arts brings 4 main-stage productions to the Lakefront campus each academic year. We collaborate with the Creative Writing Workshop to showcase our playwrights in a Fall reading series. We encourage our students to connect with the New Orleans theatre community and aid in internship placements. As part of our community outreach mission, we offer special student matinee performances for local high schools. Our program provides a broad, liberal arts education as it trains students in the disciplines of acting for stage and screen, directing, and design. We strive to inspire creativity, imagination and investigative thinking, as we prepare students to enter today’s ever-changing performing arts markets.

7:30pm | UNO Performing Arts Center, Robert E. Nims Theatre

SINGLE BLACK FEMALE

SEPT 30th - OCT 10th 

Single Black Female by Lisa B. Thompson is a two-woman show with rapid-fire comic vignettes that explore the lives of thirty-something African American middle-class women in urban America as they search for love, clothes, and dignity in a world that fails to recognize them amongst a parade of stereotypical images. This play is sure to have you crying, laughing and thinking.
