MID CITY CIVIC THEATRE RETURNS TO THE STAGE Mid City Civic Theatre is bringing community theater back to the heart of Baton Rouge. Founded by local theater professionals and volunteers, the all- volunteer group has taken over the former Theatre Baton Rouge space on Florida Boulevard and plans to open its first season in 2026. Rooted in the Mid City neighborhood, the theatre aims to be welcoming and accessible, offering educational programs for young performers and productions that celebrate creativity and connection. By honoring the building’s historic “civic theatre” legacy, Mid City Civic Theatre is creating a vibrant new home for families, artists, and audiences to share the joy of live performance. ■ midcitycivic.org
