BAYOU PLAYHOUSE IS NOT AS FAR AS YOU THINK!
This new, already-acclaimed regional theater --- dedicated to only Louisiana works --- sits hanging over the water in historic old Lockport, a picturesque one hour drive from downtown New Orleans, a little more than half an hour from Houma or Thibodaux. Across from the Bayou Lafourche Folklife and Heritage Museum and cattycorner to the Center for Traditional Louisiana Boatbuilding, yes, it's true, during intermission from the theater's outdoor deck, you can often spot alligators swimming in the bayou.
