Bayou (Oct 4-12)

🐊 Bayou 🌿

Presented by The Bluegrass Players

Directed by Meriel Willis with Chad Hembree

🌟 A Special Directing Debut! 🌟
🌙 Deep in the Louisiana swamplands, secrets simmer beneath the surface… 🌙
Journey into the mysterious world of the Louisiana bayou where Spanish moss drapes ancient cypress trees and the air is thick with secrets, superstition, and Southern charm. Many legends persist in the bayou, but none strikes an icy chill of fear like the mention of “Le Serpent!”  Four children set out to find the creature which can supposedly take the shape of anything or anyone it chooses!  Our brave crew stumbles upon many creatures before they free a girl caught in a trap.  She claims to live there, but no person could live that deep in the bayou.  Strange things continue to happen when the children are caught by Boudreaux, the crazy hunter, and his even stranger mother.  But when the rescued girl disappears, the creatures come out to help the other children escape.  The children quickly return to the safety of home.  Has the mystery of “Le Serpent” been solved?

Under the fresh vision of director Meriel Willis in her directing debut, this atmospheric production promises to bring new depth and perspective to the stage. With rich dialogue that captures the authentic spirit of Cajun culture and a story that explores the deep connections between people and place, “Bayou” will transport you to a world where folklore meets reality, and the past never truly lets go. Experience the magic and mystery of the bayou in this unforgettable theatrical journey.
