Empowering the Voice of the Feminine Spirit
Hello
My name is Lalanya Gunn. I am the artistic Director of Pallas Players. I created this Theater company for the New Orleans community in March of 2025. My goal is to provide the community with powerful stories that are told from the perspective of the Feminine spirit. This includes all people and artists who desire to empower the voices of marginalized groups who are often silenced. Theater is a powerful tool to tell these stories and showcase the amazing artists who make New Orleans a vibrant, creative city.
Inspiration
Pallas Players-Pallas is the epithet of the goddess Athena. The Goddess of War, wisdom, and craft. In Astrology, “One’s Pallas sign dictates how we fight for our desires, bring justice to matters, utilize our artistic talents and find wisdom. Pallas’s dance through each sign shows how we can manifest these qualities.”’ Pallas (Athena) is a symbol for our creative intelligence and often hints at the sacrifice of women's own creativity or the lack of respect for it. She brings to the fore father-daughter issues, and points to difficulties in linking head, heart, and womb.”
