GTA's February Festival Of Theatre Offers Both Inane British Comedy And Irreverent Singing Puppets
by BWW News Desk - January 18, 2018
When the Gainesville Theatre Alliance invented its February Festival of Theatre nine years ago, their aim was to include more modern scripts which traditionally have smaller casts. In order to provide enough opportunities for the emerging theatre artists they train as the Theatre Dept. for both UNG and Brenau University, producing modern scripts meant doing two different shows at once. Northeast Georgia theatre patrons benefit since it also means that there's something for everyone in the audience as well, as seen in this year's two Festival productions: Avenue Q and Monstrous Regiment.
