A
Le Petit Théâtre du Vieux Carré
Going strong since 1916, Le Petit Théâtre is one of the oldest theater groups in the country. In its Jackson Sq home the troupe offers good repertory, with a proclivity for Southern dramas and special children’s programming. Shows are sometimes followed by an informal cabaret performance, with the cast, audience and a resident ghost (so we hear) mingling over drinks.

Southern Repertory Theater
Though its home in a shopping mall isn’t particularly reassuring, this company has established itself as one of the city’s best. Founded in 1986, the company performs original works by Southern playwrights. There’s not a bad seat in the 150-seat theater.
