Baton Rouge Little Theater is known for producing adaptations of flashy pieces like “Rent” and “Singin’ in the Rain.” It will bring a less conventional piece to the Baton Rouge community this month. Bayou City Entertainment will bring Tony-nominated “[title of show],” a musical about making a musical, to the BRLT stage May 14. The musical chronicles two writers entering their piece in the New York Musical Theatre Festival and their comedic struggles as they compete in the festival.”People can relate to it because it speaks about a lot of what theater is about,” said director Anthony Pierre.Pierre praised BRLT for consistently having a good turnout for its productions.”The Baton Rouge Little Theater always gets a great turnout for everything they do,” Pierre said. “Regardless of their status as community theater, they put on great things.”Pierre said “[title of show]” is a comedy with which audiences can instantly connect.”Not many people know about the play, but those who do absolutely love it,” he said.The play opens May 14 and runs through May 16 at the BRLT Second Stage on Florida Boulevard. Tickets are $15 and can be bought at brlt.org or by phone.—-Contact Matthew Jacobs at [email protected].
