The mighty Mississippi River has punched a hole in Plaquemine Parish’s east bank, and it is only continuing to grow. WWNO’s Halle Parker tells us why the state, coastal advocates and the U.S. Army Corps are debating how to manage its future. 

Crescent City Stage, a new theater company that formed in New Orleans in the middle of a global pandemic, is finally able to bring performances to local audiences. Co-founder Michael Newcomer tells us about the company’s inaugural season and its opening production of Derek Walcott’s Pantomime.
