Christopher Cartmill directs the second incarnation of NEW ORLEANS STORIES: READING TO RENEW at Nyack's historic theater — with performances by Natasha Williams, Brian Coats, Keith Byron Kirk, Bruce Kronenburg, Darrell Larson, Karen Kitz, Kathleen O'Grady, Suzie Devoe, John Wright, Kathleen Chalfant, Michelle Hurst, Elise Chabbert and more, plus film segments by Jonathan Demme. Proceeds will go to the Lusher Charter School of New Orleans (most of whose students are still living in FEMA trailers) to replace band instruments for the middle and high school.
