IPAL-Iberia Performing Arts League Site

The Iberia Performing Arts League, also known as IPAL, is a community theater organization based in New Iberia, Louisiana. Its mission is to promote live theater in New Iberia and to enhance the community. It generally offers five major productions per season, a summer youth play or activity, and occasionally other special activities.

IPAL depends on our community to stay alive. If you want to get involved we suggest volunteering. There are many jobs involved in theater other than acting! Backstage crew, costumers, make-up artists, and light and sound crews all make a show go! Our performances are well executed and a great way to spend an evening. Season tickets are available. Our plays are at the historic Essanee theater in beautiful downtown New Iberia.

As a Community Theater, we are always glad to have sponsors, donors and other financial help. This year we are Supported in part by a grant from the Louisiana Division of the Arts, Office of Cultural Development, Department of Culture, Recreation & Tourism, in cooperation with the Louisiana State Arts Council, Funding has also been provided by the National Endowment for the Arts, a Federal agency."
