\"2008_mooncove_toussaint\"<\/a>The latest, never-before-seen version of my original solo show Moon Cove<\/strong> will be onstage in just a few short weeks!<\/p>\n

I’m proud to say that Moon Cove<\/strong> has gradually become a mix of the best of my works’ qualities: strong experimental performing arts, meticulous detail in atmosphere, character, and physical execution, recent advances in digital projection technology, and story elements that are (from what I’m often told) intricate, emotionally intense, fairly eerie, and a bit of a head trip. (Heheh.)<\/p>\n

You know, one of the most exciting things about this show for me has been the many incarnations in which it has existed. I think I can safely say this is, at the very least, the sixth draft<\/em> of Moon Cove<\/strong>. I’m really feeling the home stretch, as if this may be the final, best version. For example, in 2015 I got some great insights from a trusted loved one that helped me take the script apart and put it back together again … which resulted in a stronger, spookier, and overall more potent version. That was incredibly satisfying! One of the \"playhouseNOLA<\/a>many things that happened during that process? I rearranged the scenes!! The story still happens in relatively the same order, but the new order of the scenes made unbelievably strong differences that I’m so<\/em> pleased with.<\/p>\n

Additionally, I’m (as always) refining both the digital projection footage into something much more impressive through re-edits and added imagery, and by obtaining better technology all the time … new equipment, software, etc. These elements also appear to be reaching their apex, which is a dream come true, as Moon Cove<\/strong> is so personal and important for me.<\/p>\n

And of course, the actual performance<\/em> that I physically do live onstage every time Moon Cove<\/strong> is presented evolves all the time, into a more powerful entity, like a muscle being honed. Which can’t happen without the spectators in each and every audience. It’s a give-and-take, back and forth, which generates creativity through the most pure, human means possible.<\/p>\n

But to be deadly honest here: quite unfortunately, as many times as I’ve performed Moon Cove<\/strong>, very few people have actually seen it<\/em>. So if you haven’t yet seen it, this is the ultimate time to do so. And if you have<\/em> seen it, then I thank you deeply for being one of those special folks, and I humbly request that you join my marketing effort, and spread the word (and perhaps you’d enjoy checking out a different, more exciting version yourself?). Tell all those you know who appreciate unique experiences!<\/p>\n

Because those who have seen earlier versions of Moon Cove<\/strong> in the past have really said great things about it … not to mention the positive press reviews, which you can read on my website!<\/p>\n

Moon Cove<\/strong> details are located on my artist website here<\/a><\/strong>, including a full description of the show, its performance history, and info on the upcoming run. Also, be sure<\/em> to check out the trailer video, also there!<\/p>\n

The latest shows will run for three weekends on Fridays & Saturdays at 9pm<\/em>, from July 29 – August 13. Tickets are $10 and performances will take place at Playhouse NOLA, 3214 Burgundy Street, in downtown New Orleans’ Bywater neighborhood. I’ve included images of the space just for fun.<\/p>\n

REALLY hope to see you all there!<\/p>\n
