PASA celebrates 20th anniversary with street renaming
The Performing Arts Society of Acadiana (PASA) celebrates its 20th Anniversary today at 11:00 a.m. with a street renaming by Lafayette Consolidated Government. What was formerly known as Auditorium Drive, a street that runs alongside the Heymann Center, will now be magically transformed into the wondrous and ostensibly dreamlike sounding “PASA Place.” Simply repeating the street name to one's own self now brings to mind a vaudevillian super-vision of theatrical suprises where colorful performers swing on trapeze ropes toward operatic high notes and chocolate caramel fountains flow freely around a well-mannered, white gloved audience graciously clapping for the parade of fantastical events.
Founded in 1988, the Performing Arts Society of Acadiana is a non-profit organization that presents live entertainment at the Heymann Performing Arts Center and other local venues, creates in-school arts activities, offers daytime performances for students and initiates outreach programs such as PASA PLUS and Play It Again, Lafayette. PASA presents annual performances of opera, dance, drama and a variety of musical acts.
The street renaming will take place at the corner of Auditorium Drive and South College Road. The event, which is open to the public, will include an official proclamation by Lafayette City-Parish President Joey Durel as well as a brief presentation and reception.
For more information please contact the PASA at 237-2787.

There will soon be a whole lot of shakin’ going on at Benny’s Sportshack Supplement Depot, a new concept by Opelousas native Benny Nele. Located at 2002 Johnston St., the supplement shop, smoothie bar and café, featuring hot off the press paninis and wraps, plans to open in late May.
Philip deMahy Sr., a once respected New Iberia ad exec, was sentenced May 2 to spend the next two years (he faced up to 100 years) in a state penitentiary after state and federal investigators found dozens of images depicting children engaged in lewd sexual acts on his personal computer.
This year’s Cool Town issue is all about people who are not native to South Louisiana but made a conscious decision to be here, to be among us, to participate in our culture and contribute to it.
A shelved ordinance transferring $200,000 from a northside drainage project to a south Lafayette development may not break any laws, but it stinks to high heaven.
An effort to restore a shuttered dancehall and document other vacant or razed honky-tonks could serve as a model for saving an endangered species of entertainment.
Lafayette’s gene pool has been host to a long line of eccentric characters who have blurred the lines between crazy, genius, disturbed and curiously entertaining.
