On Stage This Week: The Last Night of Ballyhoo

Taking the stage this week is the latest production from Marshall's Theatre Alliance.

The play is The Last Night of Ballyhoo by Alfred Uhry.

Here's a recap:
It’s December, 1939. Hitler has invaded Poland. Gone with the Wind is about to storm the silver screen in Atlanta, and the biggest concern of the Freitag family is Ballyhoo, a lavish ball for Atlanta’s Jewish socialites.

Winner of the Tony Award for Best Play, and the Outer Critics Circle Award for Best Broadway Play, The Last Night of Ballyhoo is a luminous and achingly beautiful play that confirms the importance of faith and family heritage.
The play runs this week, Nov. 16, 17, 18 and 19 at 8 p.m. at the Joan C. Edwards Playhouse in Huntington.

Highly recommended!

Saw the last rehearsal last night. Not only is it a beautiful show, some of my favorites turned in lovely performances. Well worth the price of admission, and perfect for the whole family this time of year.

I agree with Bil. Great performances, strong script, and as always great lighting and set design. First show I've seen directed by Nicole Perrone and it was a great one. Kudos to the whole team. Go see this show.
