Comedy runs Jan. 12 – 22 in Port Charlotte

The Charlotte Players present Belles Take the Big Easy Jan. 12 – 22 at Langdon Playhouse in Port Charlotte.
Five women travel from Alabama to New Orleans to strike Mardi Gras off their bucket list. At a flamboyant designer’s French Quarter boutique, the ladies film an episode of Celeste’s new web series, “Say Yes to Anything but A Wedding Dress.”
At the famed Bacchus Mardi Gras Ball, a fortune teller delivers some disturbing news which sets the ladies on a journey with Marie the Merry Maid, who Celeste believes is VooDoo Queen Marie Laveau reincarnated. After a stop at The Old Absinthe House, the six ladies make their way through the French Quarter and the St. Louis Cemetery to collect the items needed to ward off a perceived curse.

My Mother’s Italian, My Father’s Jewish & I’m in Therapy. However, for the last 4 years he’s been touring and starring in his autobiographical tale, ‘Til Death Do Us Part…You First.
