Photo Flash: LAST NIGHT OF BALLYHOO Opens at NLCC

By:

Project 891 Theatre Co proudly opens their second season with The Last Night of Ballyhoo by Alfred Uhry in the historic North Lakeside Cultural Center. Set in 1939 Atlanta with the premiere of Gone with the Wind as a backdrop, the Jewish Freitag family is forced to face how they identify with who they are and where they come from when a newcomer from New York enters their lives and illuminates the prejudices within Atlanta's Jewish community. With the circa 1910 North Lakeside Cultural Center mansion as the set, the audience has a unique opportunity to be a fly on the wall of the Freitag living room as the family members go about their lives. The intimacy of the vintage space allows for heightened drama and a sense that the audience has genuinely wandered back in time.

"The Last Night of Ballyhoo" is directed by Jason W. Rost and features an ensemble cast comprised of Larry Garner, Lori Grupp, Liz Hoffman, Jason Kellerman, Sarah Latin-Kasper, Darrelyn Marx, and Austin Oie. Opening night tickets include the season kick-off reception immediately following the show. Tickets can be purchased through Brown Paper Tickets or reservations can be made by emailing project891theatre@gmail.com.
