 
John McConnell in
Earl Long in
Purgatory
October 21
Actor John McConnell received national acclaim
as Huey Long in The Kingfish, and Ignatius J. Riley in A Confederacy
of Dunces. Now, he brings another Louisiana legend to the stage --
the rip-roaring populist and political master Earl K. Long. A three-time
Louisiana governor, “Uncle Earl” was a force of nature, an over the top
politician who became a legend in his own time. In this spiritual comedy/drama
Long moves in and out of madness, recalling his brawling career and ribald
escapades as his soul waits for him to plead his case to the Almighty.
