About This Show

3 October - 19 October, 2025

AIRLINE HIGHWAY by Lisa D'Amour Directed by Jude Hansen


Home Sweet Home. The parking lot of the Hummingbird Hotel, one of those old-school places with a neon sign, on Airline Highway. During the course of 24 hours, the residents throw a glorious party to celebrate “last call,” a living funeral for Miss Ruby, former burlesque performer, Bourbon Street club owner and a mother figure to them all. AIRLINE HIGHWAY is a gentle portrait of this tight community, the bouncers, strippers, bartenders, hookers, handymen, poets, and other New Orleans outliers, who make their own family.

In the GIBSON THEATER: Oct. 3-19
