The Places We Play

New Orleans is known for its legendary music venues. The stories of two beloved venues, Preservation Hall and Donna's Bar & Grill, have been captured in print, and Words & Music is thrilled to welcome authors Eve Abrams and Donna Poniatowski Sims. They'll be joined by trombonist Craig Klein and saxaphonist Gladney, who will share their memories of playing in these places. The conversation will be moderated by Pamela Blackmon, Programs Manager for the Preservation Hall Foundation.

Free and open to the public; donations gratefully accepted. Donations support One Book One New Orleans' year-round work.

The Andre Cailloux Center for Performing Arts and Cultural Justice is accessible to community members who require mobility-related ADA accommodations. Parking near the venue is free, though somewhat limited. The nearest RTA stop is at N. Broad and Columbus.
