See holiday-themed plays at Theatre Baton Rouge

Theatre Baton Rouge brings the holiday goods with not one, but two Christmas-themed plays for patrons to choose from, starting this weekend. The Santaland Diaries, a one-man play based on David Sedaris’ essay of the same name, starts Thursday at 10:30 p.m. Starring the theatre’s Managing Artistic Director Keith Dixon, the play revolves around a slacker’s need for a job during the holiday season. The play is rated PG-13 and the performance takes place in Theatre Baton Rouge’s Social Room. Tickets are $20, and seating is limited. The local company will also bring its annual adaptation of the classic Charles Dickens tale A Christmas Carol to the stage starting Friday at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $25.
