The Voices of Louisiana The mission of the Voices Foundation is to gather stories and histories and present them through theatrical productions and educational programs that are cultural, historic, and artistic; keeping traditions alive by sharing them for the entertainment of all people.

The Voices Foundation, a non profit 501c3 formed in 2006, has upheld its mission with several professional productions and ongoing scholarship programs. For information about shows, projects and scholarships, visit the links we share on this web site. From August through September of 2006, the Voices Foundation's Evacuation Theatre Troupe toured the states of the Louisiana Purchase with their original production called “The Voices of Louisiana.” This show highlights the history, hardship and humor of Louisiana. We continue to bring these voices to the forefront, and to collect stories of Louisiana residents. In conjunction with St. Bernard based production company Shine Productions, LLC ,the Voices Foundation has awarded over $5,000 to students in St. Bernard and St. Tammany parishes.
