In June, 2011, 60 percent of the building was sold to New Orleans restaurateur Dickie Brennan in a deal that retired the theatre's $700,000 debt and paved the way for much needed renovations to the deteriorating building. Brennan opened Tableau, a
Creole restaurant, in a portion of the building and shares space with the theatre, which retained ownership of the original stage, executive offices, dressing rooms, and an educational space. In May, 2013, the theatre launched a revamped website, www.LePetitTheatre.com, appointed Cassie Worley its new executive director, and announced plans for a preseason or
lagniappe production of
Nora Ephron and
Delia Ephron's
Love, Loss and What I Wore in July and a regular season of plays opening September 6, with
Lombardi. The 2013-14 season also included:
Death of a Salesman, ''
Golda's Balcony, Hair, and Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat''. In March, 2015, the theatre hired Maxwell Williams as the Artistic Director. In December, 2017, the theatre hired Don-Scott Cooper as the Executive Director. ==See also==
