A Louisiana Gentleman

Overview

A Louisiana Gentleman is a comedy that exposes Blaine Ashton, a young medical student desperate to choose among three women: his manic sixteen year-old sister, a seductive middle aged actress, and his alcoholic, duty-driven aunt. A hilarious climax forces Blaine to decide in which world he belongs and bridge the painful gap to adulthood. A Christmas reunion unites eccentric New Orleanians in a miracle of uncanny acceptance. Especially powerful roles for women and a tour de force role for a young man. One interior set in the French Quarter of New Orleans provides opportunities for background music and visuals.
