Theatre of Living Arts

Fodor's Review:

The TLA, a former independent movie house, is a South Street institution that helped launch John Waters's film career; it was also the longtime home of the Rocky Horror Picture Show. Today the TLA presents concerts by a range of rock, blues, and adult alternative acts, including such diverse artists as Lucinda Williams and Toots and the Maytals.
