The study found higher levels of lead in the Mid-City, Central City and St. Roch neighborhoods of New Orleans. Higher lead levels were found along busy streets and are thought to originate from historic leaded gasoline or lead from old housing.

The New Orleans Shakespeare Festival at Tulane is remounting last summer’s acclaimed production of Romeo and Juliet for local school students, and one performance — Friday, Jan. 12, at 7:30 p.m. at Dixon Hall — is open to the public. Many of the summer’s celebrated cast are returning, including Edward Montoya as Romeo and Alexandria Miles as Juliet. Burton Tedesco returns as director and fight choreographer. The production is set in 1866 just after the conclusion of the War for Italian Independence in homage to Tedesco’s Italian heritage and the play’s Verona setting. General admission tickets are $25 and student tickets are $12. To purchase tickets, visit the event website or call the box office at (504) 865-5105.
