We’re kicking off Parish Porch with a powerful conversation that proves just how much local voices matter.
Dustin Delaune, President of Ascension Community Theatre, joins us on the day they open Cabaret to talk about 25 seasons of grit, growth, and community connection. Whether you're a theater lover, a proud local, or just someone who believes in the power of the arts, this episode delivers.
You’ll hear how ACT grew from a small stage to a local institution, the surprising challenges behind picking the right shows, and why youth arts programs are changing lives in Ascension Parish. Dustin also gives us a peek behind the curtain—sharing what it really takes to keep the lights on and the magic alive.
✨This isn’t just about theater—it’s a story of passion, people, and building something that lasts.
Hit play and be part of ACT’s opening night… and ours.
