JEDCO CELEBRATES GRAND OPENING OF MOVIE POSTER ARCHIVES GALLERY AND GIFTS IN JEFFERSON PARISH

Non-profit boasts one of the largest movie poster collections in the world

(JEFFERSON PARISH, La) -- The Jefferson Parish Economic Development Commission (JEDCO) joined local elected officials to celebrate the grand opening of one of the largest movie poster exhibitions in the world on Tuesday. The founders of Movie Poster Archives Gallery and Gifts cut the ribbon on a multi-purpose facility in unincorporated Gretna, which features a collection of over 1.5 million movie posters and items valued at over $10 million.

Founded in 2016 by retired Hollywood executive and Louisiana native Linda Thurman, Movie Posters Archives (MPA) is a non-profit dedicated to movie poster preservation, research, education, and exhibition. The facility was created in collaboration with Ed and Susan Poole, world-renowned movie poster and film history experts. MPA houses an exhibition space, research center, screening space that can be used for meetings, and gift shop with thousands of collectible posters, stills, celebrity photos, and oddities. The new facility was made possible by a gift from Morris Everett, Jr., a dedicated collector and owner of The Last Moving Picture Show in Kirkland, Ohio.

“Since the 1920’s, hundreds of organizations have been dedicated to film preservation, but not a single one focused on preserving the film posters and accessories – until now,” said Ed Poole, MPA Chief Archivist. “We are so excited that Movie Posters Archives, the only non-profit dedicated to film accessory documentation and preservation, is now a reality and has found its home in Jefferson Parish.”

“After six years of planning, our gallery and research facility is finally a reality,” added Linda Thurman, MPA Executive Director. “The assistance provided by JEDCO and its outstanding staff, along with the business-friendly environment, made Jefferson Parish an easy choice.”

About the Exhibition / Sobre la exposición

New Orleans has long been identified—by locals, tourists, and historians alike—with its French heritage. A groundbreaking exhibition at The Historic New Orleans Collection restores balance to that assessment. During four decades under Spanish rule (1762–1803), the city experienced natural disaster, diplomatic tensions, and demographic transformation. Despite numerous challenges, Spanish New Orleans morphed from a poorly managed outpost on the edge of an empire to a highly urbanized colonial capital—one enriched by the racial and cultural diversity for which it is celebrated today.

Rare Artifacts come to New Orleans for Exhibition on Spanish Colonial Era

Free bilingual display on view Oct. 20, 2022–Jan. 22, 2023

Features more than 120 objects — including maps, documents, furniture, paintings, books and more — from THNOC’s permanent holdings as well as from several institutions in Spain, Mexico and the United States. The display is the first and only time this selection of objects will be presented together in one space.

In a first for THNOC, “Spanish New Orleans and the Caribbean / La Nueva Orleans y el Caribe españoles” will be presented in both English and Spanish.

“Spanish New Orleans and the Caribbean” will be on view on the first level of THNOC’s Tricentennial Wing at 520 Royal St. in the French Quarter from Oct. 29, 2022, through Jan. 22, 2023. Admission is free. Advance reservations are recommended and may be made at my.hnoc.org beginning Thursday, Oct.13, 2022. For more information, visit www.hnoc.org.

Bruce Sunpie Barnes Duo ft. Matt Hampsey

St. Paul's UCC- Uptown Nola

$10 at the door! Cash or Venmo!

Well, this is going to be fun. Come on out for Bruce Sunpie Barnes & Matt Hampsey for a duo performance at the Concerts in the Sanctuary at St. Paul's UCC - Uptown! WOW! We are honored to have him play in our sanctuary!

Bruce Sunpie Barnes is a veteran musician, park ranger, actor, former high school biology teacher, former college football All-American, and former NFL player (Kansas City Chiefs). Sunpie Barnes' career has taken him far and wide, and he has traveled to over 35 countries playing his own style of blues, zydeco and Afro-Louisiana music incorporating Caribbean and African influenced rhythms and melodies. He is a multi-instrumentalist playing piano, percussion, harmonica, and he learned to play accordion from some of the best, including Fernest Arceneaux, John Delafose, and Clayton Sampy. With his musical group Sunpie and the Louisiana Sunspots, he has played festivals and concerts across New Orleans and the US, as well as internationally, and they have recorded 5 critically acclaimed CDs.

Sunpie is deeply involved in New Orleans parade culture and takes his music to the streets. He is Second Chief of the North Side Skull and Bone Gang, one of the oldest existing carnival groups in New Orleans, and a member of the Black Men of Labor Social Aid and Pleasure Club

The Family Line is very sweet and powerful at the same time!   

The show's plot is an original performance inspired by the histories of the BK House and the 1892 General Strike, 

when over 30,000 New Orleans workers walked off the job to fight for shorter work days, increased pay, and ‘closed’ 

union shops. It was a successful interracial organizing event that shut down the city for days before winning workers’ 

historic rights. The new immersive play is produced by Goat in the Road and set in the HIstoric BK House and Gardens, 

so during the show, audience members will be able to explore the historic property, following the characters and storylines 

they choose. The production will take place on the ground level of the courtyard and surrounding buildings, making it 

accessible to all. This stately 1826 mansion in the French Quarter contains collections from the Beauregard Family and 

from noted author Frances Parkinson Keyes.

December 4 - December 18, 2022

Each visitor will be issued a HistoPad as their portal into the past that offers unique insight into the cathedral's historical timeline, plus fun activities for the entire family.

After stunning audiences in Paris, Dubai, and Washington DC, we are excited to be only the second US institution to host the exhibition, which will be on view through March 1 in THNOC's Tricentennial Wing at 520 Royal Street.

Music and Lyrics by Irving Berlin

Book by Gordon Greenberg and Chad Hodge

Based on the Film from Universal Pictures

Holiday Inn, The New Irving Berlin Musical is a 2016 Broadway musical based on the 1942 film of the same name. The libretto is by Gordon Greenberg and Chad Hodge, with music and lyrics by Irving Berlin. Based on the classic film, this joyous musical features thrilling dance numbers, laugh-out-loud comedy, and a parade of hit Irving Berlin songs, including “Blue Skies,” “Easter Parade,” “Steppin’ Out With My Baby,” “Heat Wave,” and “White Christmas.” Irving Berlin’s Holiday Inn tells the story of Jim, who leaves the bright lights of show business behind to settle down on his farmhouse in Connecticut. He quickly discovers life isn’t the same without a bit of song and dance. So Jim and Linda, a spirited schoolteacher with talent to spare, turn the farmhouse into a fabulous inn that celebrates each holiday, from Thanksgiving to the Fourth of July.

NOLA on Tap Returns

Yeah You Right Events tabbed to bring back Louisiana’s Largest Beer Festival

New Orleans, LA. – NOLA on Tap, the beloved beer festival in support of the Louisiana Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (LASPCA), will return to the festival calendar in 2023. 

Yeah You Right Events, a new partnership between Top Taco and Food Fight producer Shane Finkelstein and restaurateur and Cinco de Mayo Fest producer Oscar Chimal, will take charge of the popular homebrew and craft beer festival. While some changes will be in store for NOLA on Tap, the LASPCA will remain sole beneficiary of the event.

Top Taco and Food Fight have become can’t-miss food festivals in the city. Yeah You Right Events aims to make NOLA on Tap look more like those events while still retaining many of the features that made it one of the largest beer festivals in the country. 

Homebrewers will still battle it out for coveted awards and top-notch live musical acts will still grace the stages, but NOLA on Tap will now be a 21 and over ticketed event, and move from City Park on the fall calendar to Lafreniere Park on March 18th, 2023 from 2pm-7pm.

“We really wanted to take NOLA on Tap out of hurricane season,” said event producer Shane Finkelstein. “We love Lafreniere Park for the type of events that we do and its proximity to the city. It really is the perfect venue for medium-sized festivals.”

Other changes will include an all-inclusive ticket package for beer-lovers and a VIP Experience that will include a crawfish boil, open bar, signature beers, lounge seating, private restrooms, and additional food and entertainment. 

Early bird tickets will start at $10 for “Designated Drivers” and $35 for unlimited beer samples, while all-inclusive VIP tickets will start at $95 and end up at $125 at the gate.

“We are so excited to have Yeah You Right Events bring back NOLA on Tap,” says CEO of the LASPCA, Ana Zorrilla. “We couldn’t have asked for a better group to bring it back after a 3 year-long hiatus.” 

When NOLA on Tap was conceived back in 2009, Abita Brewing was the only brewery in Louisiana. Today, there are over 40 breweries in the state and dozens more around the Gulf Coast. The goal of Yeah You Right Events is to have every local and regional brewery represented at this year’s festival. 

“From Gnarly Barley and Urban South to NOLA Brewing Company and Bayou Teche, we now have some of the best breweries in the country right in our backyard,” said Oscar Chimal. 

A craft beer competition will be added to NOLA on Tap so festival-goers and celebrity judges can vote for their favorite Pilsners, Lagers, Porters, Sours, and Stouts.

Another feature added to the festival will be the Doggie Drag Show presented by Petcetera. Come out and watch our lovable pups strut their stuff on the runway and sign up to be a foster for those waiting to be adopted. 

The goal is to raise $100,000 for the LASPCA so they can continue to do the important work they do in our community.

Tickets will go on sale on December 15th.

LSU will play Purdue for the first time ever on January 2 in the Citrus Bowl

LSU will cap off coach Brian Kelly’s first season in the Citrus Bowl against the Purdue Boilermakers on Jan. 2.

The game is set for Noon CT in Camping World Stadium in Orlando, Florida and will mark the third time the Tigers have played in the bowl game since 2016.

After dropping back-to-back games to both Georgia and Texas A&M to end the season, it was inevitable the Tigers’ lofty bowl expectations would diminish, pushing them to a Citrus Bowl berth.
