Like the name suggests, The Tennessee Williams Theatre Company draws its theatrical productions from the evocative catalog of Southern playwright Tennessee Williams. Currently, the company is presenting three rarely performed one-acts from the latter part of Williams' epic career.

Theatre Baton Rouge invites you to take a nostalgic trip to Neverland in their current production of PETER & THE STARCATCHER, a prequel to the timeless J. M. Barrie story of Peter Pan, featuring the incorrigible boy who can fly but never wants to grow up.

Death-defying feats, astonishing sleight of hand and a heaping serving of Vegas pizzazz is currently playing on stage at the Saenger Theatre with "THE ILLUSIONISTS: LIVE FROM BROADWAY."

EVANGELINE has found her way back to Baton Rouge, and the resulting efforts were well worth the journey.

The Saenger Theatre kicked off its 2016 Broadway in New Orleans season with the classic musical "THE SOUND OF MUSIC," this week, and after the opening performance, Canal Street was just as alive as Maria's beloved hills as patrons sang songs from the musical on their way home.
