    From teaching writing classes to hosting poetry readings, Moonlark has had a long history of involvment in the literary scene of the Feliciana and Baton Rouge areas. Ray Sibley, Moonlark's Artistic Director founded the Baton Rouge Poetry Slam in 1998, and Moonlark ran the Slam for many years, before turning it over to the Poetry Alliance.

    Displayed here are pictures from several years worth of poetry slams, including six years of National Poetry Slam pictures featuring the Baton Rouge Slam Team.

    News and Announcements

    Troilus and Cressida film is complete!


    from Ray Sibley:

    Hello everyone, We finally finished editing Troilus and Cressida; The film is quite a suprise considering we went to school on this project; all of us were overwhelmed with the amount of time required and the amount of work. I can't wait to start our next film project with all of the new skills we've learned. Anyone interested in seeing the finished product should post a message on the guestbook telling us how to get in touch with you. We plan to hold a viewing sometime soon if we get a large enough response; I will let you know when on the guestbook. Our next project is ANTIGONE by Sophocles; auditions will begin in November--look for time and place on the website home page and guestbook. peace/love, Ray

    The Moonlark Theater

    Moonlark Theater Moonlark Productions' most ambitious project is the contruction of the Moonlark Theater. A large, sturdy structure of heavy steel and planks, it is designed to be a flexible, durable performance space. Construction has been slow and steady, with a dedicated team of volunteers providing the labor. We always welcome new volunteers, so if you'd like to come out and help, or even just come and see the theater, please contact Ray.
