Written and Directed by Monique Pappas-Williams

with Meredith Pierce Boyd, Kristen Fulton, Michael W. Gaines, Marie Louise Guinier, Shauna Pinkett and Robbie Williams

"Crescent City Rebirth" is a vibrant, heart-filled journey through post-Katrina New Orleans, where jazz, gumbo, and second lines mix with loss, laughter, and the grit of survival. Morgan returns from NY to the devastation after 15 years.  Neighbors who've lost nearly everything find themselves clashing, laughing, and loving as they rebuild not just houses, but hope itself. With humor, music, and the city's unbreakable spirit pulsing through every scene, the play asks: what does it really take for a community to rise again? A love letter to resilience, Crescent City, Rebirth celebrates the beauty of starting over—even when the waters have washed it all away.
