Long\nIn this one-man performance, Aren Chaisson commands the stage as the legendary Huey P. Long, answering one of the most pressing questions of Long’s life: “Who will take care of the people?” Directed by Sarah Gauthier, this play delivers a vivid portrayal of the famous politician’s journey, blending fact, fiction, humor, and drama into an unforgettable experience.\nHuey P. Long rises from the grave once more to recount his story in a way that’s as lively and controversial as he was in real life. Aren Chaisson transforms into THE KINGFISH, giving a captivating and nuanced look at the life and legacy of one of Louisiana’s most enigmatic figures.\nAs the nation gears up for another presidential election, this play offers a timely reminder of how history can echo into the present. Follow Long from the red hills of North Louisiana to the bustling corridors of Washington D.C., as he narrates his meteoric rise to power and his unwavering fight for his radical vision. Whether you revere Long as a hero of the people or view him as a contentious demagogue, this performance promises a wild, thought-provoking journey through politics, power, and the human condition.\nExpect to experience the full range of Long’s personality: his raw vulgarity, sharp intelligence, and down-home humor. As Chaisson masterfully brings to life Long’s impassioned speeches and his bold “Share Our Wealth” program, you’ll witness a tour-de-force that captures the magnetic charisma and complicated legacy of this historical figure. Don’t miss this roller coaster of history, politics, and entertainment.\n\n\n\n\n[/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https://acadianacenterforthearts.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/Kingfish-Poster-Final-Large.png” title_text=”Kingfish Poster Final Large” _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][/et_pb_image][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][/et_pb_section]\n
