The Gathering

The Civic Theatre

A historic 1906 theater of architectural drama, brought to life in low light and heavy candlelight. On April 17th, we gather beneath the Civic’s proscenium not for a performance, but to celebrate: all-black formalwear, cold coupes, and the unmistakable rhythm of New Orleans after dark.
