In order to entertain audiences while waiting out the COVID-19 pandemic, Terrific New Theatre recently launched an online performance series called This 'n That from TNT. Much of the content is curated by TNT, while other programs are presentations of established works.

This is a production with much attention to detail and talent. 'Matilda' is delightfully joyful, and unpleasant at the same time. The sweet with the sour is a delicate combination to make in any dish or story. Red Mountain Theatre Company delivers this delightfully structured tale about a brilliant five-year-old girl gifted with a little extra than the ordinary.

Come see the 'revolting children living in revolting times' as Red Mountain Theatre Company presents Roald Dahl's Matilda The Musical, running July 12 through Aug. 4.

With its next production, the comedy "Morningside," Terrific New Theatre presents the worst baby shower EVER - in two acts! As a bonus, the opening-night audience will enjoy a talk-back and meet-and-greet with Atlanta-based playwright Topher Payne following the March 21 performance. The production runs Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings, as well as Sunday afternoons, through April 7.

Five nuns sing, joke it up and dance in this hilarious musical. While frequently breaking the fourth wall to engage with the audience, the approachable cast makes 'Nunsense' funny and lighthearted. You'll feel as if you are at a live Las Vegas style variety show.
