Mardi Gras came early to Tryon, as the stars from the Main Stage show, “A Night in Old New Orleans,” joined a pre-concert celebration, and put on a dazzling performance on stage that reprised songs and dance from their Broadway hit “One Mo’ Time.”

Orange Kellin, Vernel Bagneris, Steve Pistorius and Walter Chase came directly from New Orleans, bringing the fun of the Big Easy to Tryon.

This was part of the Main Stage season which continues Friday, March 4 with Philadelphia’s Walnut Street Theater tour of O’Neill’s “A Moon for the Misbegotten.”  For more information call 828-859-8322, email info@tryonarts.org or visit us online at tryonarts.org.
