Thanks for an amazing kickoff!
Williams Under the Oaks and our Stella Shouting Contest, sponsored by the Goldring Family Foundation, was a beautiful day at the New Orleans Jazz Museum. The event was in partnership with The Tennessee Williams Theatre Company of New Orleans.
The Stella Shout is once again a fundraiser for the New Orleans Family Justice Center, a partnership of agencies dedicated to ending domestic violence. The NOFJC provides access to free crisis services and shelter, legal aid, advocacy and case management, trauma counseling, and prevention education. Be sure to donate to this worthy cause!
