A list of interesting sites to get us started

The date for reference of Hurricane Katrina was August 29, 2005.

The above is a really helpful first-glance look at Louisiana's main 'Louisiana Rebirth' campaign, which seems to be the government's main project for cultural regeneration.

The above is a directory for reference; it claims to be a list of all live theatre venues in New Orleans.

The above is an example of a theatre/film company engaging with the aftermath of Katrina.

The above is an example of a theatre company which formed after Katrina (in December 05). They have a particularly political bent and work "in order to provoke the general public into social action." They have a dramaturg, Colin Mannex, who currently writes for the daily newspaper in Portland, Oregon. As I'm also from the Northwest, I'll get in touch once we have a more well-defined direction for questions for him.

Kathleen,

Thanks for finding these! What a great group of resources to tap into! And thanks also for posting to the site; now I know that it is working and can see how it will work as a tool.

It is pretty great that you are across the continent and the pond from me (I'm in LA, admiring the Pacific) and yet we can chat and email and blog!
