Baton Rouge Playmakers brings the hilarious children's book, Click Clack Moo, to life on the Manship Theatre stage, starting this Friday night. When Farmer Brown's cows find an old typewriter and start writing, the first they start doing is demanding better treatment, like electric blankets for their cold barn. But when the farmer refuses to acquiesce to their requests, the beleaguered bovines organize a strike. Will Farmer Brown and his cows ever resolve their differences? Find out for yourselves in this adorable play suitable for kids of all ages.  Tickets are $20-$25. Visit manshiptheatre.org for tickets and full schedule. (Image courtesy Manship Theatre)

Whether you remember growing up practicing "duck and cover" drills in school, or are just way into the retro-chic scene, the West Baton Rouge Museum's new exhibit, The Life Atomic, is right up your alley. This exhibition illustrates the impact of the atomic bomb on everyday life throughout the 50s and 60s, in ways both serious and lighthearted, from civil defense warnings to B-movie posters and "atomic" toys.  Explore the interior of a typical family's backyard fallout shelter, and view classic civil defense films—including Duck and Cover, starring the ever-prepared Bert the Turtle. Regular museum admission applies. The show runs through October 10.
