It’s a very exciting time in the Charbonnet family!  Our history is coming alive.  St. Ann St. Productions is proud to coordinate this effort and look forward to embarking on this momentous journey with you.  

Our name, St. Ann St. Productions, is taken  from the street where Stella and William Charbonnet lived most of their lives, and where most  of their children (including our mothers) were born and raised.  We thought it was an appropriate homage  to our grandparents, and  hope  that our productions  can live up to theirs!

As you can see from our tagline, this project has three phases:

1.     Relive.  During the first part of the project, we will be coming around to each family to collect stories and memorabilia.  Initially, post Katrina we are, in essence, gathering all that's been displaced and presenting it not only to your generation, but for those generations past us;

2.     Rebuild.  The second phase involves the rebuilding of our family history, especially for those who lost memories to Hurricanes Camille, Betsy, and Katrina.  San Francisco serves as a point of origin - a place to gather, reconnect and bring our family back to NOLA as the rebuilding occurs;

3.     Return.  We will celebrate the completion of our family history with a triumphant return to our roots – New Orleans.  The official unveiling of our complete family history will take place during a Charbonnet Family Reunion in the summer of 2009.
 

Even though the three of us are coordinating this effort, we cannot do it without you.  Your participation is integral to our success, so make sure you stay connected to us.  Hopefully this Web site will help you to do just that. 

Like the parable of the faithful servant mentioned on our home page, we are imminently aware of the noble task that we are undertaking.  We are committed to telling the Charbonnet story, a story that will require much from us.  It is our duty to preserve our legacy, one that future generations of Charbonnet descendants will refer to over and over again.  Please join us on this journey of discovery, knowing that once we get to the other side, we will be forever changed.
