Bay Area Stage Productions presents, the Tony Award winning play, THE LAST NIGHT OF BALLYHOO, written by Alfred Uhry (Driving Miss Daisy) this play is set in the upper class German-Jewish community living in Atlanta, Georgia in December 1939. Hitler has recently conquered Poland, Gone with the Wind is about to premiere, and Adolph Freitag (owner of the Dixie Bedding Company) and his sister Boo and nieces Lala and Sunny - a Jewish family so highly assimilated they have a Christmas tree in the front parlor - are looking forward to Ballyhoo, a lavish cotillion ball sponsored by their restrictive country club. Adolph's employee Joe Farkas is an attractive eligible bachelor and an Eastern European Jew, familiar with prejudice but unable to fathom its existence within his own religious community. His presence prompts college student Sunny to examine intra-ethnic bias, her Jewish identity (or lack thereof), and the beliefs with which she's been raised. Directed by Matt Cardigan-Smith This Event is Produced by Bay Area Stage Productions, an award-winning 501 (c)(3) nonprofit theatre company. Friday 12/06/24, 12/13/24, 12/20/24 at 8PM (707) 649-1053
