100 Years of Live Theater in Lake Charles

Guests Brett Downer and Heather Partin, two longtime Lake Charles Little Theatre board members, join hosts Brady and Jillian on Louisiana's Playground to mark the theater's 100th anniversary season. They trace the company's origins to founder Rosa Hart, who wrote to Hollywood stars and once landed Lake Charles in the pages of Life magazine, and explain how an all-volunteer operation has survived fire, flood, and hurricanes for a century. It becomes a case for why live theater still matters in the age of AI.
