New Orleans.  Anyone who has been there immediately can recreate the smell of beignets from Café Du Monde, feel the energy that pulses the town and let the jazz from every corner haunt you forever.  Another true treasure of Nola will appear at the 2012 Junior Theater festival in Atlanta, Georgia, January 13-15. Jefferson Performing Arts Center, known as JPAS, will showcase Music Man Kids, and guarantees to have you waving a flag on “Shipoopi” for sure.

Here is some advice from Lynne Bordelon and some fantastic JPAS kids for those of you attending JTF for the 1rst time or the 5th time!
