The historical drama "Blood Makes The Red River Flow" was inspired by the Louisiana Creoles. It is a fictional story based in historical fact about Bloodlines... Ancestry... Pride... And Sacrifice.
It opens in May of 1961 in the Greenroom of a New Orleans luxury hotel just before Gabrielle Laviteaux-Montero Jones' presentation at the Cotillion Ball. It then flashbacks to the Red River circa early 1800's to a scene of her ancestor Lizette Laviteaux's presentation to handsome Spaniard Ferdinand Juan-Carlos Montero at the Quadroon Ball by her mother Yaya. The play consists of a talented cast of 6. Look for photos and video clips of the cast and production crew. The production's fiscal sponsor is the mega national non profit arts organization Fractured Atlas.
Look for this provocative drama to mount for Black History Month in February 21-26 of 2012 at Roy Arias Studio and Theatres! Tickets $18 on sale NOW on Eventbrite. http://www.redriver.eventbrite.com
