Summer heats up at Teche Theatre
The Teche Theatre for the Performing Arts announces the June portion of its Summer Concert & Entertainment Series in an effort to bring quality, affordable family entertainment to St. Mary Parish without the headache of traveling.
Beginning this Friday with MLR Magic, Mitch the Magician, a well-known comedic magician from Lafayette takes the stage with a hilarious and interactive show fun for all ages. With his wife and fellow Franklinite Susan Titus-Richard doing preshow face painting and balloon art, they will be bringing joy to the Teche Theatre stage.
Opening for Mitch the Magician is a young budding magician and student from Southside High in Youngville, Ty Arceneaux. Ty has wowed audiences at sporting events and car shows with his magic and street magic performances. Tickets for this event are $10 adults and $5 children 12 and under.
Saturday, June 15: JUS CUZ, a classic rock and roll cover band from Morgan City will take the stage. Front singer Jahne Bailey is no stranger to the Teche Theatre stage: She was the first winner of the Teche Theatre’s St. Mary’s Got Talent contest.
Friday, June 21: Though tickets are sold out, the Teche Theatre will host an exclusive watch party of the Travel Channel’s upcoming new series “The Ghosts of Morgan City” which was filmed throughout St. Mary Parish. Diane Wiltz and other cast members of the show will be in attendance to celebrate the opening with wine and cheese, entertainment, “spirits” and a celebration of ONE St. Mary Parish.
Saturday, June 22: The Teche Theatre will host Crescent Circus featured on The Tonight Show, HBO and the NFL. The Crescent Circus is a husband-wife duo, Nathan Kepner and Morgan Tsu-Raun, who fuse their expertise in magic and circus arts respectively to deliver a one-of-kind experience on stage. Beginning in New Orleans, The Crescent City, Nathan and Morgan have entertained corporate and collegiate audiences across the country and even overseas. Their original stage work has earned them six international titles, performances at London’s prestigious Magic Circle Theater and an appearance on The Tonight Show. Tickets are $10 each.
The lineup had originally included Evangelist Crystal Bell Carr and Soulful Praisers; however, this show has been postponed due to a family emergency with a date to be determined.
