'Rosie Revere'
Ms. Greer's classroom includes three inquisitive out-of-the-box thinkers: Rosie Revere has big dreams, Iggy Peck has a relentless passion for architecture and Ada Twist's curiosity can lead her to solve any problem. They all come together in TheatreWorks USA's traveling musical, "Rosie Revere, Engineer & Friends," at 2 p.m. Sunday at the Manship Theatre in the Shaw Center for the Arts, 100 Lafayette St.
Tickets are $25 by calling (225) 344-0334 or visiting manshiptheatre.org.
Student art at LASM
"To Be Seen, To Be Heard, To Be Valued" shows through Aug. 4 in the STEAM Gallery at the Louisiana Art & Science Museum, 100 S. River Road.
The museum's newest exhibition space is incorporating exceptional work from local students as the museum, in collaboration with Ellemnop.art, provides an opportunity for visitors to learn, explore and engage with original art created by local student artists.
This exhibit features work by student artists representing schools in East Baton Rouge Parish. With guidance from their art teachers, the participating students have worked diligently to present themselves as emerging professional artists.

Forgotten Ones
Join historian and genealogist Ja’el Gordon as she explores the history and culture of Black Creoles in Louisiana in her lecture, "Forgotten Ones: The Enslaved Creoles" at 6 p.m. Tuesday at the Capitol Park Museum, 660 N. Fourth St.
Admission is free.
Gordon is a Louisiana native who specializes in interpreting antebellum history, conducting oral history interviews, and genetic genealogy. She will explore individuals within the Creole community who are acknowledged through birthright, heritage and culture but often overlooked in research and not widely recognized as integral members of the Creole familyhood. Many may have lost their cultural identifiers over time, facing various factors, including erasure.
