Founded in 1946 and one of the oldest continuously operating community theaters in Louisiana, BRLT has been staging productions in the Garden District for eight decades. The current theater on Lafayette Street seats 352; the Lod Cook Alumni Center next door regularly gets confused with it by visitors. Productions run from musicals to contemporary drama. It is the institution that keeps live theater alive in a city that tends to outsource its culture to New Orleans.
