Friday through Sunday at Southland Mall, just in time for Mother s Day, the Terrebonne Orchid Society is hosting a show and sale of living, blooming plants. We saw a preview at South Terrebonne High School on Saturday, and are enjoying the blossoms of the lovely plant we bought. Even before the television coverage Monday, some Belle Chase folks were using fax and e-mail to distribute digital photos of that Exxon gas price sign at the corner of Veterans and Causeway in Metairie. So far, I have been able to grin at this round of gasoline price increases. From 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., visitors will enjoy local food, music and crafts displays.
Local residents are welcome to come help make the visitors feel at home.
It was a good play then, and this summer with Yakupzack directing, Le Petit is doing it again. Auditions will be held by appointment at the theater 10 a.m. Saturday, continuing Monday to May 11, at 7 p.m. Call 876-4278 to schedule a tryout. Be prepared to read from the script and sing. The play opens at 7 p.m.
