Other info:
“Bless Ya Boys: Training Camp” will also get you in the mood for the October run of the “Bless Ya Boys: A History of the Black and Gold” show at Le Chat Noir.
Bless Ya, Boys," takes place in heaven - where instead of your life flashing in front of your eyes we flash the history and heartache of your beloved black and gold. From Mecom to Mora all the way to Peyton and Brees we meet many of the characters that are all part of Saints lore.
See Archie Manning in My Three Sons, Rickey Williams and Mike Ditka as The Odd Couple, Miss Packinwood and the birth of the "Sinsations" dance team, and the infamous River City Relay, and the team’s poignant return to the Superdome post-Katrina. And because we’re in heaven, fans will even get to chat with the Mouth of the South, sports-casting legend Buddy D. as he hosts his call in show, “The Pernt Hereafter.”

Quotes:
"Bless Ya Boys" uniquely captures the highs and lows of Saints' fans from day one that will keep you laughing throughout the show. It's a must see for fans of the Saints and New Orleans. Mike Diliberto, son of famed New Orleans sportscaster, Buddy Diliberto.
“It covers 40 years in 90 minutes, moving faster than many New Orleans Saints players ever did and running through lines with more punch than the team had during much of its history. That's "Bless Ya, Boys," a loving, irreverent broken-field run down the black-and-gold memory lane.” Angus Lind, Times Picayune
"Bless You Boys was the closest thing Le Chat Noir will ever see to a sports bar! I don't think we've ever had that many cute, straight guys on stage at one time! And they are talented actors, too! Ain't we got fun, girls! I love having the actors from Shine on the Le Chat Noir
"Bless Ya' Boys writer (Tom Hassinger) and director (Barry Lemoine) uniquely capture the high's and lows of saints fans from day one thru the present. They portray a cast of characters from ownership, players and sports media that will keep you laughing throughout the show and I think it's a must see for fans of the Saints and New Orleans. They have some very funny lines and you might want to see it more than once to catch all of the dialogue. Tom Hassinger's facial expressions when portraying my father (Buddy D) were priceless."
Mike Diliberto
"If you are a Saint's fan, especially if you live in this city, you owe it to yourself to come to this play."
