Hot Spell

Sunday, August 23, 2026•3:00 PM

Based on the unproduced play Next of Kin, Hot Spell is a New Orleans-set drama about matriarch Alma, whose boundless optimism stands at odds with her husband John’s philandering and her adult children’s desire to move on from the family home. Starring a trifecta of Oscar winners—Shirley Booth, Anthony Quinn, and Shirley MacLaine—this tender, layered production offers a heartbreaking view of generational tensions and the nuances of family dynamics.
