A Chorus Line at City Springs Theatre is a masterful revival of a well-loved classic. Featuring choreography by original cast member and Tony Award-Recipient Baayork Lee, the show feels overwhelmingly nostalgic, as if you had been transported back to 1975.

Playing on The Alliance's Hertz Stage, DREAM HOU$E follows the story of two Latinx sisters - Julia and Patricia Castillo - as they sell their family home on a popular home renovation TV show. Foundations crack as the walls begin to talk and not a single tile in the house is without a story to tell. [Written by Ella Outlaw]

Welcome, ladies and gentlefolk, to the modern-day revival of Southern Gothic. HOMETOWN BOY at Actor’s Express is a beautifully grotesque show about how secrets are like leeches you can’t remove until you’ve faced them. Full of turmoil, lies, and revolting truths, HOMETOWN BOY challenges not just your perception of the South, but your place in it. 

If you’re in a Halloween-type mood and down to see a cult classic come to life onstage, then HEATHERS: THE MUSICAL is a must-see this October. You’re sure to have some “Big Fun” revisiting high school. 

In a true return to original form, AN ILIAD at Theatrical Outfit is an intimate performance of the story of Hector and Achilles as told by one person – The Poet himself. Played by Suzi Bass Award-winner Lee Osorio, The Poet guides the audience through a tragically epic story, complete with props and the occasional help of The Muse, Deisha Oliver on cello. 

Full of secrets, moonshine, and scintillating music, the show follows our heroine turned hero Clara as she navigates her life as an outsider. If you’re a fan of folk music, you will be a huge fan of this show. 

HAMILTON at The Fox Theatre is a remarkable show and the perfect note to revive theatre in Atlanta with. Even if you’ve streamed it on Disney+, listened to the soundtrack on repeat for months, and watched as many clips as you could find on YouTube, seeing the show in person makes everything feel new again. 

Broadway opens again in a few weeks, concerts are being scheduled again, and The Alliance is performing WORKING: A MUSICAL – the theatre is coming back soon!

The world can feel oppressively cloudy sometimes, but bright spots that celebrate who people are without prejudice or shame can always be found. And if you're willing to sit in an outdoor tent on a rainy Saturday morning like I am, then you’re in for a lot of sunshine at Alliance Theatre’s BEAUTIFUL BLACKBIRD LIVE.

Poignant, topical, and insightful - THE CATASTROPHIST by Lauren Gunderson at Theatrical Outfit is well worth the watch and could be the best one-person show you'll see and one of the best Atlanta shows this year.

With wholesome jokes, clever Zoom cinematography, and even more clever Zoom choreography, I escaped into a wonderful world of fun songs and kind characters for the night.

Six Page Scripts is a podcast caught in the crosshairs of entertainment + craft that is about screenwriting, the film industry, and the general buffoonery of the four hosts. Mitch, Jason, Kelley, and Laura welcome you into their creative banter, clever segments, and their writera??s room critique each hour as they review a listener-submitted script.

The resilience of the Theatre is an incredible thing. While hundreds of thousands of ghost lights haunt us across the world, we still find ways to create art and do what we love. The Pumphouse Player's production of Laura King's Some Mirth and a Little Matter is an excellent example of this resilience and commitment to the art.

The COVID-19 pandemic has completely changed life as we know it, and artists have been especially hard hit. Many of us have lost jobs, gigs, future shows, and are staring down the barrel of months of unemployment. But, there is hope - and help - to be found in the Atlanta Artist Relief Fund!
