Hot Georgia Sunday reunites Haven with the director of their successful spring 2014 production of Seminar. It's hard to tell the difference between right and wrong in this tragicomic tale of dysfunction taking place in a small Northeast Georgia town where private desires and public morality collide. The well-meaning, but inept members of the Vickery family cause trouble wherever they go and lust, betrayal and alcohol lead the way for this fractured family.

Cast for Hot Georgia Sunday includes: HB Ward (Glenn), Ed Dzialo (Pastor Thompson), Rob Fenton (Robbie), Julie Schroll (Flora), Kay Kron (Tara) and Emily Woods (Jenny).
