UL Lafayette’s Performing Arts Department and PASA are joining forces for three upcoming summer performances at Burke Hall on campus.
The productions are billed as “Once Upon a Time,” exploring fun, fantasy and fairy tales. They include:
Into the Woods by James Lapine and Stephen Sondhiem.

Rutherford Wolf by Thomas Hischak. This production is a playful satiric comedy adventure performed by youths for youths. It is about a gentle, vegetarian Rutherford, the wolf, who moves out of the woods to escape his allergies and encounters many adventures on his way to the city. Performances are set for 10 a.m. on July 22, 23, 26, 27 and 30; at 7 p.m. on July 25 and at 6 p.m. on Aug. 6.
