This weekend, take a break from your busy schedule of Christmas shopping, wrapping and baking for two local theater productions. Theatre Baton Rouge’s A Christmas Carol and Playmakers of Baton Rouge’s Jingle ARRGH the Way will both run through Sunday, Dec. 17.
A Christmas Carol, written by Charles Dickens, has become a Christmas staple. The ghosts of Christmases past, present and future guide the cold-hearted Ebenezer Scrooge on a journey of transformation and redemption as he comes full circle, adopting generosity, kindness and Christmas.
Tickets are $19 for children and students and $25 for general admission. Tickets may be purchased at the box office or online. TBR will stage A Christmas Carol at 7:30 p.m. Friday, at 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. Saturday and the final performance, which is ASL interpreted, at 2 p.m. Sunday. Theatre Baton Rouge is at 7155 Florida Blvd.
