"When we started our journey at the Mars Theater last year we didn’t know what to expect,” Kaylee Smith, executive producer for Back Alley Productions, said. “We went from wondering how long we could keep the doors open, to becoming a stable of downtown Lafayette. We always had a good feeling that it would get some support, but we never expected to become a hallmark of the community.”
The theater season includes:
Irish Courage, an Irish celebration based on The Playboy of the Western World, the story of Christy Mahon, a young man on the run who claims to have killed his father. The show will feature live music and dance. Performances are weekends from March 10-26.
