Arts: Best Bets

December means there are a ton of holiday-themed events in town, and while we’ve featured some already in this issue, there are a few others you shouldn’t miss this month. One of those is Baton Rouge Little Theater’s production of A Christmas Carol, a recent tradition for the theater that last year featured a cast of more than 70 actors and ensemble performers. The show runs Dec. 7-16 with show times Thursday-Saturday at 7:30 p.m. and Saturday-Sunday matinees at 2 p.m. brlt.org
