The "Nita Zita Project" tells the story of Jewish immigrant sisters Nita & Zita, who blazed a trail to international stardom, and then became eccentric recluses, weaving their mythology into the very fabric of New Orleans. Nita & Zita lived on the fringes of society, burlesque dancers, and trailblazers. Join us for a tale of mystery, intrigue, glamour, stardom, poverty, loneliness, and most of all, the extraordinary love and devotion of sisters.
