Theater: “The Last Night of Ballyhoo”
A comedy set in the Deep South at the onset of World War II, Alfred Uhry’s Tony Award-winning play offers a glimpse into the lives of an established Jewish family. Uhry’s backdrop creates a poignant contrast between the troubles at home and troubles abroad. Taking place in 1939, Hitler and Nazi Germany are invading Poland. However, in Atlanta, Ga., “Gone With the Wind” is about to premiere and the talk of town is the social event of the season, Ballyhoo. Amid this social whirlwind, the characters forge relationships, encounter prejudice and search for their identities. This story of love, family and laughs is one you don’t want to miss. Who will take you to Ballyhoo?
