"Party" serves as the modern equivalent of the word "carouse," encapsulating the essence of lively social gatherings characterized by music, dancing, and revelry. While "carouse" evokes images of boisterous celebrations often associated with drinking, "party" has evolved to encompass a wider range of festivities, from intimate get-togethers to grand events. In today's context, parties can be themed, casual, or formal, appealing to diverse tastes and preferences. They provide a space for connection, enjoyment, and expression, reflecting contemporary social dynamics where people come together to celebrate milestones, foster relationships, and create unforgettable memories in a vibrant atmosphere.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Exclusive Press/Media Sneak Peek: "Wasted: Overtourism & the French Quarter"

New Orleans, LA – – VCPORA (Vieux Carré Property Owners, Residents, and Associates),

in partnership with acclaimed filmmaker Laura Cayouette, is proud to present an exclusive sneak peek

screening of the upcoming feature-length documentary, "Wasted: Overtourism & the French Quarter." This

highly anticipated film delves into the complex phenomenon of overtourism in New Orleans' iconic French

Quarter, offering an eye-opening examination of the area’s over-reliance on the tourism industry and the quest

for a sustainable balance.

Wasted was recently accepted by the prestigious Big Syn International Film Festival, a sustainability film

festival in London that aims to inspire people to act on the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

Media and press attendees will be treated to a first look at a powerful narrative that focuses on the post-

pandemic reality of the French Quarter, as well as strategies for fostering economic diversification, preserving

cultural authenticity, and reinvigorating local residency.

Media Screening Details:

• Date: Monday, October 14

th

, 2024

• Time: Doors open at 3:30 pm, screening begins at 4:00 pm and will be followed by a Q&A session with

the filmmaker and selected interviewees

• Location: Historic New Orleans Collection William’s Research Center, 410 Chartres Street

• Reserve your seat: Email info@vcpora.org

• Additional media inquiries: ErinHolmes@vcpora.org

About the Film:

Four years in the making, "Wasted" shines a light on New Orleans' fragile balance between residents and

visitors in a post-COVID world. Through intimate interviews with French Quarter residents, business owners,

and culture bearers, the documentary explores the benefits and harms imposed by unbridled visitor numbers on

the 300-year-old neighborhood.

"Overtourism isn't just a buzzword," says Cayouette, best known for her role as Lara Lee Candie-Fitzwilly in the

locally filmed Django Unchained. "It's a reality that communities across the world are grappling with, and

nowhere is this more evident than in the French Quarter. We need to find a way forward that doesn't sacrifice

our culture for short-term gain."

Featuring interviews with Derrick Tabb, Harry Shearer, Dianne Honoré, and other local historians and

culture bearers, the film aims to spark conversation around the growing global discourse on Sustainable

Tourism and the urgent need for action. This sneak peek is in advance of the film’s premiere at 6:30 p.m.

Tuesday, October 22

nd

at Le Petit Theatre, 616 St. Philip Street in the French Quarter. Tickets for the general

public will be available lepetittheatre.com.

Join the award-winning (1st place, baby!) NOLA Jitterbugs for a 6-week series with live music in the last class!

Our live music classes with local musicians and culture bearers, as well as our overall emphasis on music appreciation is what makes our lessons stand out among the rest!

Starts at The Contemporary Arts Center!

6-7pm Intro to Swing

For total beginners to swing dancing or dancing of any kind. Also for those looking to refresh their basics and learn some ragtime dances. We use these pre-swing era dances to teach beginners how to step on rhythm, step on rhythm while connected to another person, how to connect in order to lead or follow, you'll learn to syncopate your footwork, and then we'll slowly start to let go of one hand and create the beginnings of what will eventually be a bad-ass swing out.

7:30-8:30 Lindy Hop Vocab - Intermediate Level

This class is gonna give you some must know moves, some technique, some philosophy, and of course, we'll continue to clarify and polish up your swing outs.

No partner required to take either of these classes. Come alone or with friends!

Aah, October, when New Orleans wakes up again for the Long Party. We have two seasons here; the second one starts October 1 and ends sometime in June. The weather is cooler now, everybody’s settling into their fall schedule, and now it’s time to get out and do stuff.

This month for me is mostly events with The New Orleans Guitar Masters as part of the 2024 Across The Pond Guitar Festival. Jimmy Robinson puts it together and it’s a really interesting show. 

Jimmy has presented the festival for several years, featuring virtuoso guitarists from Europe, Canada and the U.S. with concerts in New Orleans, Atlanta, Amsterdam, and Covington, La. This year adds fantastic venues: The Manship Theater in Baton Rouge, and The 100 Men Hall in Bay St. Louis. Guests this year are Gavino Loche from Sardinia, Italy, Adrian Raso from Guelph, Canada, Layla Musselwhite, and The New Orleans Guitar Masters with John Rankin, Jimmy Robinson and Cranston Clements.

In this hilarious 90-minute show, two performers play 13 roles – not to mention the piano – in a witty and winking homage to old-fashioned murder mysteries. ONE ACTOR investigates the crime. THE OTHER plays all of the suspects. And THEY BOTH play the piano. You won’t want to miss this killer musical comedy!

Officer Marcus Moscowicz is a small town policeman with dreams of making it to detective. One fateful night, shots ring out at the surprise birthday party of Great American Novelist Arthur Whitney and the writer is killed…fatally. With the nearest detective an hour away, Marcus jumps at the chance to prove his sleuthing skills – with the help of his silent partner, Lou. But whodunit? Did Dahlia Whitney, Arthur’s scene-stealing wife, give him a big finish? Is Barrette Lewis, the prima ballerina, the prime suspect? Did Dr. Griff, the overly-friendly psychiatrist, make a frenemy? Marcus only has a short amount of time to find the killer and make his name before the real detective arrives…and the ice cream melts!
