Set in 1874, The Uninvited follows nine characters who live in, or orbit around, the Gallier House. It is six years after architect James Gallier Jr.’s death, and his wife, two of his daughters, and household staff members Charity and Rene are preparing for an evening of entertaining when a mob of young men passes by, seeking to re-segregate the integrated school next door. News of the mob and an uninvited guest disrupt the household and expose the race and class divisions embedded in the characters’ lives. The event is based on a real-life incident that took place in December 1874.
The content of this play includes racism, discussion of racial violence and offensive language, and may not be suitable for younger viewers. Due to the nature of the play (audience free to explore the space), children 14 and under must be accompanied by an adult.
Rain Plan/Cancellation Policy: For productions canceled due to inclement weather or unforeseen and unavoidable circumstances, we will notify all ticketed patrons no later than 3 pm. Patrons will then receive instructions via email on how they may reschedule their tickets for another performance or request a refund. All ticket purchases for any production that is rained-out mid performance are final.
Funding for The Uninvited has been provided by the Gustaf W. McIlhenny Foundation, the New Orleans Theatre Association, the RosaMary Foundation, the Fertel Foundation, and the Jazz & Heritage Foundation. Goat in the Road’s 2019-20 season is supported in part by a Community Arts Grant made possible by the City of New Orleans and administered by the Arts Council New Orleans, as well as by a grant from the Louisiana Division of the Arts, Office of Cultural Development, Department of Culture, Recreation & Tourism, in cooperation with the Louisiana State Arts Council, and the National Endowment for the Arts, a Federal agency.
