(SOLD OUT) THE ELEVENTH HOUR: A Spirited Salon at the New Orleans Pharmacy Museum

THIS EVENT IT SOLD OUT. Each year, the New Orleans Pharmacy Museum Tour & Education Department writes, produces, and performs a brand new Spirited Salon. In the spirit of last year's Salon, Thrills, Chills, and Hard Pills to Swallow, THE ELEVENTH HOUR introduces guests to three new characters, all experiencing their own unique crisis of faith. In a new twist, this year's performance presents a multi-chronological exploration of hope, despair, preservation, and the relentless and elusive passage of time. The Eleventh Hour is an immersive theatrical experience that invites guests to travel through three centuries of history within the walls of 514 Chartres Street. Here, guests encounter three of the house's occupants as they each experience their own crisis of faith. Through live performance, historical interpretation, and engagement with the Pharmacy Museum’s collections, guests will move through the building and experience its history as something living, layered, and continually shaped by those who inhabit it. What is the importance of preservation, and how does what we choose to preserve define our identity? Should we be holding on to the past, and what are we willing to sacrifice to do so? As the three stories unfold across time, The Eleventh Hour explores what we inherit, what we fight to preserve, and what we ultimately choose to pass on to whatever—or whomever—comes next.
