I saw a silent filming of a 1950’s(?) Joan of Arc movie. I had tickets so I didn’t have to wait in the long line outside. They do different art/theater events there, so it’s be unfair for me to rate this movie and the opera house in the same review. I like that it’s an old church turned theater. The ceilings are very high and the inside of the building looks pretty cool. t seats a good 50+ people, but there is only one bloody bathroom! I think the men took longer than the women. Have your phone ready to wait in line.

I had a chance to visit this location for Nola Fashion Week. I definitely see the potential in this beautiful building that was once a Trinity Church in the Bywater. Even as it is in repair stage it has character and beautiful. It was a ideal venue for a fashion show, especially with the long walk way. This space is right in the midst of a residential community so parking can definitely be limited if ever attending an event in this location.

I have been here for two events, the 24 hour draw a thon and I just saw Equus. This is a beautiful space that has been wonderfully repurposed. The draw a thon event allowed us guests to roam around the building to take in the architecture. The acoustics for the music at that performance were interesting and lovely. Equus was a great production and I really liked how the production made use of the shadows cast on the beautiful walls. It added an almost mystical element to it(it also reminded me of the shadow on the church on Royal in the Quarter). This is a great addition to the community and I look forward to more events here. I took one star off because the building is rather cold in colder weather, so make sure to bundle up.

I stopped by here for a meeting, and had never really been in the space before. I didn’t spend much time there so this review is going to be somewhat incomplete, but the building is incredible. An old church sanctuary, it has a very interesting interior. I think the space hosts a lot of art shows and performances. I’m not sure if you’d really seek out this space unless there was an event going on, but it’s quite memorable once you step inside.
