Who was Luis Q. Barroso?

Luis C. Barroso was a famous actor, director and producer.

He was born in Havana, moved to Florida in 1955 with his family. At Miami High School, Jackson realized his passion for acting and received a full scholarship to Rollins College in Winter Park, Florida. When Tulane University offered him a full scholarship to their Master of Fine Arts Directing program, he moved to New Orleans. Despite enrolling in graduate programs at Tulane and UNO, Barroso never earned a master’s degree.

During those years, Barroso assembled a group of now-famous performers, including Freddy Palmisano, Ricky Graham, Judy Latour, Becky Allen, Edward R. Cox, John Grimsley, Sid Arroyo, and countless others. His productions drew children and their families to the theater while inspiring a generation of actors and theater professionals in New Orleans.

He performed at Summer Lyric Theatre, The Puppet Playhouse, The People Playhouse, NORD Opera and St. Charles Community Theater only in the 1970s. He later worked with Rivertown Repertory Theatre, Southern Repertory Theatre, Delgado Community College Theatre, University of New Orleans Theatre, Le Chat Noir, Minacapelli’s Dinner Theatre, NORD Theatre, and The Contemporary Arts Center to perform, produce or direct plays.

Directions

He has been appointed as the temporary artistic director of DRAMA! Theater troupe in 2002.

Under the name LUQBAR Productions, he also created convention shows that provided industrial entertainment, and he directed a show for the Italian Village at the 1984 World’s Fair.

David Cuthbert, former Times-Picayune theater critic said,

“He was a theater,”

“He was a beautiful talent and he spread his talent around.”

Le Petit Theater

In the 1970s, Mr. Barroso worked as artistic director of the famous Childrens Corner at Le Petit Theater and was one of its founders.

While directing children’s theater at the Gallery Circle Theater and later at the Children’s Corner of Le Petit Théâtre du Vieux Carré, where he worked as artistic director-producer, Barroso worked primarily with adult actors.

Peggy Scott Laborde, now a senior producer at WYES-TV, was one of his rookie performers at Le Petit.

peggy said

“I’ve always been so impressed by the fact that we were here as teenagers in these plays and he didn’t treat us like little kids,”

“He treated us like one actor to another. It was community theater, but it was an opportunity to be on your feet and do your best. … The professionalism was always there, but he was always fun to be with.”

The nuns allowed Laborde to be late for her graduation because she was scheduled to perform in a matinee of “The Little Mermaid” in 1971, the year she graduated from Cabrini High School. This is a testament to the great theater that Barroso was known for at the time.

she said,

“They got it, they knew it was a great value opportunity. He was so respected.’

“Talented in the Theater” program.

Barroso received a position at the Atlanta Center for Puppetry Arts in 1980 after serving there temporarily and directing plays there. Many of his performances have toured nationally, and some have been presented at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C.

In 1999, Barroso returned to New Orleans and began working as a teacher in the Talent in Theater curriculum in the Orleans Parish Public Schools. He also performed in Shakespeare in the Park plays with the Dog and Pony Theater Company.

In 1995, at the Two Sisters Pavilion in New Orleans City Park, Louis C. Barroso depicted William Shakespeare as he celebrated his 431st birthday.

Barroso has received honors from the New Orleans Arts Council and the New Orleans Music and Drama Foundation. He was presented with a Lifetime Achievement Award at the Big Easy Awards in 2013. He last appeared on stage in 2017 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Summer Lyric.

He never outgrew the thrill of performing in front of a live audience, despite his years of experience and accolades. Cuthbert enthused about his role as Mr. Muchnik, who suffers a terrible fate in Little Shop of Horrors, in a 2004 interview.

He said,

“I just love being eaten by the plant!”

“Isn’t that an actor’s dream, a death scene where you’re swallowed by a giant plant? It’s a thrill every time we do it!”

Tribute to Luis C. Barroso

Many people expressed their deepest sympathies to his family and expressed how much they loved him. The news of this event upset his supporters and fans.

I just learned Luis C. Barroso Has passed away. I first met this wonderful man in early 1982. I was in college and Ed Cabell got appendicitis and needed someone to take over as director of Anything Goes. Working with him Luis was a great experience. The following year, he returned to direct How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying. He was the artistic director of Center for Puppetry Arts and was my first introduction to this organization. I always had great respect for him and enjoyed seeing him whenever our paths crossed. See you on the other side my friend. – Bill Jones.

I was very sad to learn that my friend Luis C. Barroso died yesterday in New Orleans. He directed me on all the tours I did with the Center for Puppetry Arts in the 1980s in Atlanta. His vision and creativity created many hit shows for the Center. He brought a freshness to the classic tales that the audience loved. Louis was very witty and kind and always drove the speed limit – never faster! He wouldn’t say anything negative about the US. He was very patriotic and grateful as his family fled Cuba to start a new life in the United States. It was a privilege for a budding puppeteer from Cheektowaga, New York to learn from such a talented man, so fully committed to his craft. Thank you Louis! – Alan F. Lewis.

So sad to hear this our friend and legend of New Orleans theater Luis C. Barroso left us Lewis was a brilliant and generous performer, a true professional and a true gentleman. He leaves a legacy that few can approach, let alone equal. RIP my friend. You will be remembered. – Christopher Carey
