Finally, a free play that's not Shakespeare. Inside the Creole Mafia received an L.A. Weekly Theatre Award in 1993, but this will be a post-Katrina version. It's an adult dark comedy, described as a cross between street theatre and Chekhov.

According to Margaret Cho, it is "an original, important, provocative work, and should be seen by everyone. Not just the sexy people."
