The Teche Theater Players presented “Ain’t Misbehavin’ — The Music of Fats Waller” with singing and dancing that had toes tapping on the feet of audience members.

Bunk Fest events continue with A Drob/Polk Jazz Lecture scheduled at 6 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. Wednesday at the Iberia Parish Library, St. Peter branch.
