Dear IPAL Patron: Happy New Year! I hope you and your family enjoyed the holiday season.

On behalf of the Iberia Performing Arts League Board of Directors, I would like to thank you for supporting your community theater. We’re having a very successful season so far, with three more productions still to come.

OVER AGAIN

Our next production will be Over Again, a musical written by IPAL’s own, Ian Bonin, and directed by Kaleigh Lay. Tickets are on sale now at ipaltheater.com and will be available at the door. This show is not part of the season ticket package. The show runs Jan. 19 to 22.

KISS ME, KATE

The next show will be the classic Cole Porter musical comedy, Kiss Me, Kate, directed by Charlie Robertson. The cast is set, and rehearsals are underway. The show runs March 16  to April 2.

ONE MAN, TWO GUVNORS

Our last show of the season is the British farce, One Man, Two Guvnors. The comedy will be directed by Mitch Prudhomme. The play runs May 26 to June 4.

I’m very excited to announce our 2023 -2024 season!
