The Lake Wales Little Theatre box office has tickets on sale now for “Belles Take the Big Easy,” the next production in this season’s series. The show is scheduled to run January 24 – February 9, 2025, at LWLT. The theater is located at 411 N. 3rd. St., Lake Wales.
‘Belles Take the Big Easy” is a full length comedy by Alicia Lane Dutton and produced by Rebel Belle Publishing. 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.” Out of Flovilla, Alabama, and now out of control, Regina is ready to cut loose at the slightest opportunity, including getting the go signal at the crosswalk. Uptight Catherine has a new lease on life after her ex-husband drops a bomb shell which has her and the other ladies celebrating with more than coffee and beignets at Café du Monde.
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.
With additional adventures on The Cajun Critters Swamp Tour, and at a day spa with a python massage on the menu, the ladies take The Big Easy as only they can.
Tickets are $20 for adults and $14 for those under 18; they are available now by visiting www.lwlt.org.
