The staff at the Center for Puppetry Arts must be pretty giddy right now. They booked their new 1001 Nights: A Love Story About Loving Stories a long time before Robert Lopez’s Frozen came out and every 9-year-old girl in America saw it four times, manufactured her own YouTube “Let It Go” homage and counted…
It’s become something of a tradition now. It happened back in 2006, again in 2010 and now it’s happening for a third time in 2014. Local director Bret Wood celebrates the local debut of his new film as part of the Atlanta Film Festival tonight, just as he’s done with his previous narrative features Psychopathia Sexualis…
It isn’t just the number of films screening this year that Atlanta Film Festival executive director Chris Escobar is proud of, but also the event’s overall balance, as well as the new dimensions the festival has added over the years. After a special kickoff event on Thursday — WonderRoot’s Generally Local, Mostly Independent Filmmakers Night…
Samantha Brown seems to have a clear-cut path after graduation. The valedictorian of her class, she appears to be headed to Dartmouth College, where her mother was a proud alumna. However, she is starting to question whether what her parents and others expect from her is what she wants for herself. The Unauthorized Autobiography of…
When Grammy Award–winning singer Sylvia McNair was putting together her program for this weekend’s The Best of Broadway concert at the William Breman Jewish Heritage Museum — celebrating the contributions of Jewish composers to Broadway’s Golden Age — it dawned on her just how easy her task was. When it comes to influential composers of that…
The venue may have changed since last season but the spirit of Dad’s Garage certainly doesn’t seem to have been broken in the move. The company’s new Sex a.k.a. Wieners & Boobs, running through March 22 at 7 Stages, is right up Dad’s anarchic alley, even if it doesn’t reach the vintage comic heights the company…
At the core of the play Tamer of Horses is a sweet story of how a family tries to rescue a young man in need, but the journey never becomes palpable in Aurora Theatre’s new production. Now running through March 2 at Aurora as part of the company’s Harvel Lab Series, Tamer of Horses is an…
Heading in to see Pinch ‘n’ Ouch’s world premiere Wall Street Wedding, I had no idea what to expect. Was this a testosterone-driven tale of fallen stockbrokers? A romantic comedy set against the backdrop of Lehman Brothers’ demise? Luckily it’s not really any of those. Instead, it’s a comedy-drama with its own quirky trajectory and…
If it weren’t based on a true story, the play The Best of Enemies might be a little tough to swallow. That a Klansman and a civil rights activist could make peace and become friendly in the Deep South seems a stretch. But when said characters are brought to life by performers such as Bruce…
As Danny Filson and his colleagues at SCAD (the Savannah College of Art and Design) were envisioning their first television festival in Atlanta, they looked around to see what else similar was out there — and saw virtually nothing. It was then that they realized the festival, which debuted last year, had the potential to…
