Vieux Carre- A sexy and sinister story of artists, vagrants and addicts living on the fringe of society.  A young writer becomes entangled in the lives of his fellow boarders in a dilapidated boarding house in the slums of New Orleans. Destitute, dying and drug addicted, each of the occupants of the Vieux Carre look to bring the naive writer into his or her own tragic web.

Christ Church Neighborhood House, 20 N American

Something Cloudy Something There is a fine line between the light of the innocent and the darkness of  the damned. A man looks back over his lifetime, swimming towards the one blissful summer where he first fell in love. The ghosts of old acquaintances, lovers and enemies call to him as he comes to terms with his seduction of a desperate dancer and his lovely sister. Youth is fleeting and those who are cursed with beauty must suffer an early end.
