The Tony Award-winning Carol
Hall musical about the Chicken Ranch, the
real Texas brothel that operated from the
1840s to 1973 when it was shut down by a crusading
Houston radio commentator and his conservative
audience. High-kicking cowboys, a legendary
madam and lots of leggy girls make for the
kind of theatrical event that Le Petit Theatre
does best.

writer meets a divinely decadent girl who
is performing nightly in a sleazy nightclub.
With the time rushing by, with the storm in
the wind, what would you do?
The premiere local production
of Mel Brooks' Broadway musical smash. Music
Theatre International has given Le Petit Theater
exclusive rights to one of the most honored
musical comedies in Broadway history. At last,

Why do we love to learn but
hate school? The NOLA Project presents a new
comedy based on the tragedy that is modern
schooling.
When a kindergarten test asked kids to copy
a picture of the sun as exactly as possible,
Sean instead drew a sun with sunglasses smelling
some flowers. Deemed “unable to follow
instructions,” he had to repeat the
grade. The actors’ stories, and those
of local teachers, students, parents, administrators,
and other concerned parties, fuel this comedy
about the tragedy of public education.
