Community Series

Where St. Charles Shows Up.

The Lafon Arts Center is more than a venue — it’s a home for our community. Here, local performers, school groups, and regional arts organizations share the spotlight in events that celebrate homegrown talent and bring families and neighbors together. These performances highlight the creativity, pride, and connection that make St. Charles Parish truly special.

Friday, January 9

Join us for a screening of Casablanca (1943, PG,102 minutes) in conjunction with Americans and the Holocaust: A Traveling Exhibition for Libraries.

A cynical American expatriate struggles to decide whether or not he should help his former lover and her fugitive husband escape French Morocco.

The program will be in the Black Box Theater. A discussion will follow the film screening.

Americans and the Holocaust: A Traveling Exhibition for Libraries is made possible by the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum and the American Library Association.

This exhibition was made possible by the generous support of lead sponsor Jeannie & Jonathan Lavine. Additional major funding was provided by the Bildners—Joan & Allen z”l, Elisa Spungen & Rob, Nancy & Jim; and Jane and Daniel Och. The Museum’s exhibitions are also supported by the Lester Robbins and Sheila Johnson Robbins Traveling and Special Exhibitions Fund, established in 1990.

I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change Presented in Collaboration with JPA

Jan 24 - Jan 25

Join us for a laugh-out-loud musical journey through love, relationships, and everything in between! I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change is a witty and heartfelt celebration of the modern relationship, from first dates and awkward pickups to marriage, parenthood, and the trials of growing older together. With clever songs and hilarious vignettes, this beloved musical comedy reminds us that no matter how imperfect we are, love is always worth it.

Performed in the intimate Black Box Theater at the Lafon Arts Center, this production offers audiences a close-up experience of the humor and heart that have made I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change one of the longest-running musicals in Off-Broadway history.

This performance is part of our Community Series, proudly presented in collaboration with the Jefferson Performing Arts Society—whose mission to Educate, Entertain, and Enrich perfectly complements the Lafon Arts Center’s commitment to placing Arts Education Center Stage. Together, we bring stories that connect, inspire, and celebrate the shared joy of live performance.
