Roberts Batson’s popular one-man show that ran for the three years at the True Brew Theatre was televised and earned Batson a 2007 regional Emmy nomination.
This new mounting honors the Sazerac, which the Louisiana state legislature recently proclaimed “The Official Cocktail of the City of New Orleans.” Batson always begins his show with this story.
The two-hour presentation provides Batson’s unique take on New Orleans culture. The first act provides an overview of early New Orleans history that explains “how we got to be this way.” Act two focuses on the rich diversity of cultures that interacted here. The multimedia presentation examines the cardinal elements of New Orleans culture: religion, race, music, politics and food. His comment on alcohol: “Many New Orleanians think a twelve-step program is two six packs of Dixie Beer.”
Batson is an accomplished actor, tour guide and award-winning writer of over 300 articles on Louisiana history and culture. The show draws on his forty years’ experience as performer professor, pundit, and political operative.
