Artistic directors talk post-Katrina

NEW ORLEANS – That’s the great divison in New Orleans —post Andrew Jackson, post Civil War, but especially post-Katrina. There’s only one full Equity theater in town, but there’s a active semi-pro (which we’d call it where many of us come from) theater scene, or call it community theater with professional standards, represented with spirit this afternoon by a panel of five: (from left in the picture) Dennis Assaf, A.J. Allegra, Aimee Hayes, moderator Allan Smason, Jim Fitzmorris and Gary Rucker.
