Along with the Film Center this theater company needs to be supported also. They have brought PROFESSIONAL quality theater to our cities. They've gotten Shreveport recoginition nationally and have brought a Tony Award winner and now Miss Avery, an Oscar nominee. Film is not the only thing happening here....there's THEATER!!
