Le Bonnet Bleu Théâtre’s First Production, 8 Femmes
A bilingual education professional, Dr. Hind Louali founded Ecole Jean-Jacques Rousseau in Austin, Texas, in 2005. In addition to overseeing the school, Dr. Hind Louali has also served as a director at the local Le Bonnet Bleu Théâtre.
Established in 2017 to present French language productions, Le Bonnet Blue Théâtre brings together French-speaking creative artists to entertain audiences while promoting the French language. The theater company opened to audiences with its first production, the play 8 Femmes (8 Women), in October of 2018.
A murder mystery written by Robert Thomas and set in the 1950s, 8 Femmes takes place in a snowbound cottage at Christmas, illuminating the stories of eight women, including family members and employees. When the family patriarch dies with a knife in his back, each of the women becomes a suspect and tries to outdo the others in finding the murderer.
Le Bonnet Blue Théâtre performed the play in French with English subtitles at the Ground Floor Theatre in Austin.
