Le Petit Theater

Everything you want a French Quarter theater to be—sparkly chandeliers, fabulous décor, a bar in the lobby, and haunted!!! Le Petit Theater is right in the heart of the Quarter across from St. Louis Cathedral. It’s an amazing place to see a show—very glamorous, even the children’s side. The shows are professional level, and you can’t help but feel connected to old theater vibes in this place.

  • Stella!!

    Cathy and I took Henry and Annabelle to the French Quarter today to watch the climax of the Tennessee Williams Literary Festival; the Stella shouting contest. Today was the perfect day–no humidity, no extreme heat–crisp air, a brilliantly sunny day–no clouds, blue sky–incredible day in NOLA.
