| Oct 6 - Oct 7 LGA presents Lysistrata Afro Greek Comedy Tour |
Lumpy Grits Artistry from Shreveport, Louisiana will be kicking off their fall 2018 tour in New Orleans. They will be presenting Lysistrata, an ancient war comedy, that was originally written by Aristophanes in 411 BCE. The setting takes place in ancient Greece. Lysistrata, an Athenian woman, gathers the women of various Greek city-states to make an oath of celibacy until the Peloponnesian War is over! Their husbands come home with a full erection ready to ‘plough’ only to find their wives denying them sex. The Greek women’s chorus is holding the gold in the Acropolis hostage to block funding for this war. The grumpy old Greek men’s chorus are trying to burn the hags out with their torches! Will the women ever give in to sex instead of accomplishing their ultimate goal for peace? Come support this ball clenching production just in time for women’s month. LGA presents their Afro-Greek version of Lysistrata to the Ark-La-Tex and other cities in the south. The community organization’s aim is to present educational and entertaining performances. They are truly excited about introducing the locals to early comedy, culture, and politics! Come and support these talented artist. This production is intended for mature audiences. Suggested sexual content and a little coarse language. Creatively Directed by Kendra Cherie Gray of LGA.
Local Performing Artists: Caitlin Douglas, Brittainy Pope, Candice Ratliff, Lindamarie Catanese,, Anjellica Rogers, Crystal Green, Tianna Andrews, Mary K Jones, Will R. James Jr, Basil Ray Green, Christopher Authur Henderson, Zamick Milhouse, and Shango.

| Oct 17 OCD Louisiana Community Meeting |
OCD Louisiana, the local affiliate of the International OCD Foundation, is hosting a community meeting to generate ideas about the resources we need in Louisiana. For those looking to become involved in the non-profit, we will also be forming initial committees to spearhead projects. The mission of our group is to provide assistance to those affected by obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) and related disorders. We are early in the development of the Louisiana affiliate. We aim to provide education, resources, and support to the local community to increase access to effective treatment and promote awareness about OCD and related disorders. We hope to develop a community for those affected by OCD and related disorders and the professionals who treat them. Like our parent organization, OCD Louisiana is a donor-supported nonprofit organization run by volunteers. Our organization is open to anyone impacted by or interested in OCD, Hoarding Disorder, Trichotillomania (Hair-Pulling Disorder), Excoriation (Skin-Picking) Disorder, Body Dysmorphic Disorder, and other related disorders. We welcome individuals who suffer from one of these conditions, their family members and friends, mental health professionals, researchers, educators, religious leaders, and/or other interested community members.

| Oct 20 OCD Louisiana Community Meeting |
OCD Louisiana, the local affiliate of the International OCD Foundation, is hosting a community meeting to generate ideas about the resources we need in Louisiana. For those looking to become involved in the non-profit, we will also be forming initial committees to spearhead projects. The mission of our group is to provide assistance to those affected by obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) and related disorders. We are early in the development of the Louisiana affiliate. We aim to provide education, resources, and support to the local community to increase access to effective treatment and promote awareness about OCD and related disorders. We hope to develop a community for those affected by OCD and related disorders and the professionals who treat them. Like our parent organization, OCD Louisiana is a donor-supported nonprofit organization run by volunteers. Our organization is open to anyone impacted by or interested in OCD, Hoarding Disorder, Trichotillomania (Hair-Pulling Disorder), Excoriation (Skin-Picking) Disorder, Body Dysmorphic Disorder, and other related disorders. We welcome individuals who suffer from one of these conditions, their family members and friends, mental health professionals, researchers, educators, religious leaders, and/or other interested community members.

| Oct 22 Nailed It Film Screening |
| Visit any strip mall in the United States, and there’s bound to be a Vietnamese nail salon. While ubiquitous in cities across the country, few Americans know the history behind the salons and the 20 Vietnamese refugee women, who in 1975, sparked a multibillion dollar industry that supports their community to this day. Weaving powerful personal stories with insightful interviews, Nailed It, a new documentary by director Adele Free Pham, captures an unforgettable and often hilarious saga born of tragedy, charting the rise, struggle, stereotypes, and steady hold Vietnamese Americans have on today’s multiethnic $8 billion dollar nail economy. Join filmmaker Adele Pham for this free screening and discussion on Monday October 22nd at 6:30pm at The Ranch Theatre inside the Contemporary Arts Center as part of the 29th Annual New Orleans Film Festival. A reception will follow the screening at The New Orleans Advocate. |

| Oct 24 Rise of the Business Bots - How Chatbots are Disrupting Marketing, Sales and Customer Service |
Chatbots are proving to save businesses big bucks, but when you decide to let a robot take over interaction with your prospects or paying customers, there is a fine line between functional and frustrating.
Bring your questions, thoughts, and experiences (good and bad) and let's enjoy a lively discussion into how to weigh the pros and cons of bot adoption, and how to build a strategy that is friendly to your visitors, not just your finances.
Story Block's CMO Adele Tiblier will guide the discussion.
