What would you do if your hometown and its people were under immediate threat? What if you lost your home, your land, your family belongings, and no one seemed to care, much less lend a hand? What if the youth in your community fled without option as your family and culture decayed in their wake? What if the lives of your neighbors or grandparents were unnecessarily lost while politicians seemed incapacitated and outsiders idly observed? What if all of this was avoidable, occurring because of man-made problems? What would you do? The youth of South Louisiana are forced to ask themselves these difficult questions every day, growing up in a land where threat, loss, and survival often take precedence over the traditional spoils of youth. In South Louisiana, man-made environmental problems are contributing to the loss of one football field of land every 60 minutes, resulting in a devastating disintegration of personal lives and irreplaceable heritage. Formulated directly from on-site interviews, Evangeline Drowning is a riveting new drama that investigates the socio-environmental crisis in Southern Louisiana through the lens of those it impacts the most, notably the voices of its future. The most powerful play I have seen in a long time, maybe ever. An impressive, meaningful, and emotionally engaging work. As funny as it is insightful. Every educational program in the country needs to produce this play. A story that desperately needs to be told. Beautiful. Moving. Humorous. Ive never seen anything that gripped me so tightly. Exciting new docudrama which explores the environmental crisis of the Louisiana wetlands from the perspective of its youth. A dynamic, moving, and a powerful message concerning the human, and environmental challenge taking place in the Louisiana coastal region, our nation, and our planet.

They had it wrong when they said with great power comes great responsibility. More like, great power comes with a target on your back. And considering my bloodline is derived from one of the strongest witches in New Orleans’ past, the target on my back is huge. Of course, that’s not how mom explained it when she ripped us from our home in the Garden District and forced me to start a new school in the French Quarter—a place where my family isn't welcome. No, she said she was just ‘trying to protect us from fanciful ideas. But now I'm being preyed on by vampires and haunted by a creepy, stalker ancestor in my head, and the only silver lining is Phillip, my could-be boyfriend. So why does Mom's boyfriend seem dead set on chasing him away? Finding out is easier said than done with the devil in the work sleeping under the same roof, but if I don’t, it will be more than life as I know it crashing down around me.
