CHARLEY'S AUNT to Open at Georgia Ensemble Theatre
by BWW News Desk - December 21, 2015
Georgia Ensemble Theatre (GET), North Fulton's only professional theatre company, will kick off the New Year with a play that's sure to be the cure for the post-holiday doldrums. The hilarious comedy, Charley's Aunt, will take the stage January 7th through the 24th, 2016 at the Theatre's home, the Roswell Cultural Arts Center, 950 Forrest Street, Roswell, GA. GET and Atlanta favorite David Crowe is in the directing chair to bring this time-tested comedy by Brandon Thomas to life. Says Crowe, "At its heart Charley's Aunt is a very silly play about the very serious business of courtship. That's one of the reasons the play has been produced so much in the past hundred or so years. Falling in love sometimes requires us to bend and even break society's rules in order to live happily ever after." This production is graciously sponsored by the Robert W. Hagan Family Foundation.

BWW Review: CIRQUE DREAMS HOLIDAZE Plays The Fox Theatre
by Sally Henry - December 17, 2015
The Fox Theatre's first holiday show if the season, CIRQUE DREAMS HOLIDAZE displayed the talents of unbelievable cirque performers, different from performances I usually see at the historic venue. The combination of the over-glitterified set, patronizing musical numbers, and eccentric costume sculptures all combined to make this show seem like a dumbed down version of what could have been a grand cirque showcase.

Unable to escape even in her sleep, Lynn's grief plays out on two planes of existence. As her best friend Melissa (Chelsea Steverson) tries to intervene in reality, Dream Lynn (Jessie Kuipers) is imprisoned with the uncomfortable memories that Lynn cannot process.
