STEP INTO THE STORY THAT SHAPED A MOVEMENT.

We've Got a Story to Tell! - invites guests into a singular, multi-sensory encounter with legacy, artistry, and place. Inside the 115-year-old former St. Rose de Lima Church, you’ll experience a 15-minute conductor-led immersive tour enhanced by augmented reality activations created with XR/AR Production Lab – Black Realities.

The journey continues with FRESH TO DEATH: The Courage of Captain André Cailloux, a 20-minute one-man theatrical performance honoring the life and impact of a freedom fighter whose courage transformed American history.

For artists, culture workers, and anyone who understands story as a pathway to liberation, this offering blends heritage, technology, and performance into a single, resonant experience.

Join us on historic Bayou Road — a journey into freedom, remembrance, and imagination.
