talk-back is free and open to the public.” It is not necessary to have attended Saturday night's performance to attend the talk-back.
”DOUBT” features Clare Moncrief as Sister Aloysius, Jamie Wax as Father Flynn, Andrea Frankle as Sister James, and Donna Duplantier as Mrs. Muller. Set design by David Raphel, lighting design by Marty Sachs, sound design by Jeffery Talbot, and costume design by Charlotte Lang.

“MIRACLE ON FULTON STREET” ATTRACTION ADDS MAGIC TO 2007 - 2008 HOLIDAY SEASON IN NEW ORLEANS
“Miracle on Fulton Street”, a new holiday attraction in the heart of downtown New Orleans, will bring the magic of the season alive for locals and visitors of all ages . Open to the public at 10 a.m. daily through January 8 and free of charge, “Miracle on Fulton Street” will feature ‘real’ snow, strolling costumed characters, top local performers and holiday-themed dining.
“A delightful winter wonderland, ‘Miracle on Fulton Street’ will give locals, visitors and their loved ones an opportunity to come together and have fun in the spirit of the season,” said Jim Hoskins, senior vice president and general manager of Harrah’s New Orleans.
The entrance to the attraction, located at Fulton and Poydras streets, will be defined by a series of custom-built, faux wrought iron arches that are 14 feet high. Accentuated by 12-foot Christmas trees and 3-foot fleur de lis ornaments, the arches will create a dramatic canopy illuminated by thousands of LED lights. A computerized system will enable lighting technicians to create varied color themes against the backdrop of arches, ornaments and trees.
The “Miracle on Fulton Street” display will continue with a series of 16-foot recessed vignettes which pay tribute to New Orleans holiday traditions past and present, including the legendary Mr. Bingle and Jackson Square at Christmas.
‘Faux snow’ will be another highlight of the attraction. Periodic snowfalls, while extremely rare in New Orleans, are nonetheless ‘forecast’ for Fulton Street this holiday season.
Whether naughty or nice, all are welcome to enjoy the beautiful decorations and festivities.
Live entertainment will take place on Fulton Street and in the lobby of the adjoining Harrah’s Hotel on Fridays and Saturdays from 4 – 8 p.m. and on Sundays from 3 – 6 p.m.
Performers will include New Orleans favorites Marva Wright, John Boutte, Big Al Carson, Johnny Angel and Benny Grunch & the Bunch. Strolling carolers and choral groups such the One Accord Gospel Choir are also scheduled to perform. A solo pianist, joined occasionally by vocalists, will perform in the hotel lobby on a white baby grand piano acquired specially for the holiday season.
Santa’s Shop will sell official “Miracle on Fulton Street” merchandise, including commemorative ornaments, apparel, bells, coffee mugs and much more. Holiday drinks including Cajun egg nog, hot cocoa, apple cider and hot toddies will also be on sale. Santa himself, as well as his reindeer, will be available for photos on Fulton Street. The city’s largest gingerbread village, complete with train, will be on display in the Harrah’s Hotel lobby.
Riche on Fulton Street will offer a special Reveillon menu, which comes with a free commemorative gift. Those visiting the adjoining 528 music club can enjoy drink specials Wednesday through Sunday evenings. Gordon Biersch Brewery Restaurant, Grand Isle
