Just in time for the fifth anniversary of “the big one,” New Orleans native and Birmingham resident, Gia Rabito, reveals her interesting and yes, amusing story of relocation to The Magic City. Gia, in her original one-woman show, shares her adventures through humorous tales peppered with favorite tunes such as “Stormy Monday” and “Up on the Roof.” There are no sad flood stories, no disaster talk – just a hilarious toast to the “tale of two cities.” Prepare for an evening of laughter as Gia entertains you with her truly unique story – you won’t want to miss it!
An added bonus will be Gia’s photo exhibit “The Signs of Katrina” – first impressions of her neighborhood (no flood pictures, we promise!) upon her return after the storm. Plus, Gia toasts her new town by providing every guest a complimentary Hurricane cocktail served in a souvenir “Geaux” cup. What else?
