Arts around town: ‘All You Need is Love’ at the Manship Theatre, Marc Broussard performs ‘Mistletoe and Magnolias,’ and more

Rev. Bill Miller, an Episcopal pastor in Covington, will be in Baton Rouge tonight, December 20, to reveal his revolutionary take on a traditional mass celebration. Inspired by the music of The Beatles, Miller uses the iconic band’s classic hits in place of hymns and other more typical religious songs. The result is an event that people of many faith backgrounds can enjoy. Christ in the City is presenting Miller and his North Shore Revolution Band at Manship Theatre’s Hartley/Vey Theatre tonight for a holiday event titled All You Need is Love: A Beatles Celebration to the World. Tickets and more information is available here.
