A Tour of Southern Ghosts – Oct. 14 – 31. 

Join the Atlanta family tradition and meet professional storytellers weaving their tales of famous (and not-so-famous) Southern Ghosts along the lantern-lit paths of the Antebellum Plantation at Georgia’s Stone Mountain Park.  A Tour of Southern Ghosts is held during the Halloween season so the stories are a little scary, many times humorous, but never too frightening and always appropriate for young children.

Shopping and F**king – Through - Sept 4

A dark comedy that follows a trio of young Brits who sell drugs, sex and what is left of their souls to survive. The story unfolds in a series of tightly compressed scenes and the dialogue is spare, atmospheric and ofen wickedly funny. Mark Ravenhill plays comedy and ugliness against each other, drawing the audience in with laughter, then dousing them with the cold shock of brutality.

 

Side Show – Sept. 17 - Oct.16

Daisy and Violet Hilton are conjoined twins who change from a common circus act to famous stage performers in the 1930’s. But Daisy and Violet don’t agree with what they need next: fame or love? It’s a wild theatrical ride filled with show stopping numbers and bearded ladies.

Night Blooms – Sept. 24 - Oct. 24.

Two families – one white and one black – cope with change in Selma in 1965. On the day of the march, the Stafford household laughs, cries, celebrates a bloom, and waits for news when an unexpected freedom fighter appears on their doorstep.

Becky Shaw – Through Sept. 25

Newlywed Suzanna fixes her best friend Max up with her husband’s beautiful but odd co-worker Becky Shaw. The blind date ignites a fuse that will soon set Becky off in the midst of Suzanna’s family. The resulting blast of dysfunctional hilarity has everyone scrambling for cover, but finding none. 

 

Albatross – Oct. 21– Nov. 20

A married couple, Alice and Jim, return home after the funeral of an acquaintance. As they settle in for a quiet Tuesday night dinner, startling confessions threaten to interrupt their humdrum suburban routine. They are thrust into a dangerous game of cat and mouse that tests each one’s trust for the other–and reveals that neither is quite what they seem. Each new revelation launches them both deeper into a mystery that keeps twisting and turning until the very end.

On the Alliance Stage: 

Twist Sept. 1 – Oct. 3. 

New Orleans. 1928. As the Roaring Twenties dance their way down Bourbon Street, an orphan in search of home finds family in the most unexpected places. An exciting new musical twist on the Dickens classic. 

 

On the Hertz Stage 

Sammy & Me – Oct. 1 – 24 

Sammy Davis, Jr: singer, dancer, child star, fixture of the Rat Pack… but at what cost? Virtuosic Broadway performer Eric Jordan Young investigates his own obsession with Sammy – and his questions take audiences on a whirlwind journey through Sammy’s life and his music. But when you ask, ‘who was the man behind the perfect cool smile?’ the answers that unravel are as powerful as the new questions they raise.
