Metro’s Best Local Performing Arts Troupe or Theater
Le Chat Noir — In only its second season, the little theatre that could has the local arts community all shook up. From genre-bending “dramadies” like “Torch Song Trilogy” to button pushing plays like “Killer Joe,” this town’s never seen anything like this searing start-up. “I believe all forms of art dramatically — no pun intended — enhance the quality of life for any community,” said co-owner Richard Justice just before they opened their first season. “They are just a vital part of any community.” And after one season, the community can’t seem to do without them.
