FINDING JOY IN UNLIKELY PLACES is written and performed by Gillian Banaszek, Katherine Corbitt, Frederick "Wood" Delahoussaye, Jordana Fraider, Spencer Howard, Kelly Jacques, Rhonda Lewis, Jean Martinolich, Lorrena Murray, John O'Neal, Ivana Saiti, Devon Thomas, Dana Webb and directed by Junebug Productions Program Director, Kiyoko McCrae. What is community? How is New Orleans shifting post-Katrina? How is culture being "cleansed"? How does racism affect our lives? Through the use of story circle and other forms of dialogue, we addressed these questions and our answers led us to the discovery of joy, resiliency, heartache and beauty in all of our communities. Building on the wide range of talents of the ensemble, this original production was created utilizing poetry, theater, music, movement, and photography.
