Like Don Quixote, the Jefferson Performing Arts Society is on a "quest". We share a seemingly impossible dream - to be back to full strength and serving and enriching our community as before. We have had to overcome countless obstacles and indeed still face many challenges but we hold onto our dreams and pursue our quest with the same passion and conviction we held before Katrina. Currently, Louisiana and the Gulf South are undergoing a renaissance. This renaissance was triggered by extensive devastation suffered as a result of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, and, in our region, the subsequent levee failures that followed.

  • Resorts World Manila Gives Rodgers and Hammerstein's Cinderella A
    Genting Hong Kong Limited (Continued into Bermuda with limited liability – Registration No.29337) (formerly known as Star Cruises Limited) PRESS RELEASE For Immediate Release Resorts World Manila gives Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Cinderella a new twist Hong Kong / Manila, 15 July, 2013 - Following the success of award-winning “The King and I”, another splendid musical is set to blow your mind at the Newport Performing Arts Theater. Resorts World Manila, the only one-stop, nonstop integrated lifestyle hub in the Philippines, will bring Cinderella, another celebrated Rodgers and Hammerstein production, to life in October. 1 Genting Hong Kong Limited (Continued into Bermuda with limited liability – Registration No.29337) (formerly known as Star Cruises Limited) Originally written for television, Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Cinderella was based on the popular French version Cendrillion by Charles Perrault. The television musical was first broadcast in 1957 on CBS when more than 107 million people tuned in for its network premiere. It featured Julie Andrews in the title role and Jon Cypher as everyone’s favourite Prince Charming. The three-act TV version comprised original scores that would later become classics, including “In My Own Little Corner”, “Ten Minutes Ago”, and “Do I Love You Because You’re Beautiful”. The popularity of Cinderella withstands the test of time. The 1965 CBS remake starring Lesley Ann Warren and Stuart Damon was rebroadcast eight times until 1974. The 1997 Disney made-for-television movie featuring a star-studded cast including Brandy, Whitney Houston, Paolo Montalban, Bernadette Peters, Whoopi Goldberg, Victor Garber and Jason Alexander was viewed by 60 million people.
