Having successfully worked together on Doraville’s Third Rail Studios, Dan Rosenfelt and Michael Hahn recently joined forces again. They have co-founded the new Electric Owl Studios, set to open June 8, and are touting it as the greenest studio on Earth. Located in Dekalb County across the street from the Indian Creek MARTA station, the…
No one can ever accuse playwright Ellen Fairey of a lack of ambition with her comedy-drama Support Group For Men. The play covers a lot of fertile ground — gender issues, masculinity amidst a changing landscape, even #MeToo briefly. Yet, despite some laughs, it’s only intermittently successful. Directed by Jeff Adler and running through May…
The posting caught her attention immediately. When former Atlantan Tamrin Goldberg saw that Baz Luhrmann’s 2001 film Moulin Rouge was being turned into a stage musical and auditions were being held for the pre-Broadway run in Boston, she knew she had to be part of it. It’s taken a while, but the performer — who…
During the run of the popular revival of The Music Man last year on Broadway, Shuler Hensley — who grew up in Marietta and moved home in 2012 — was one of only a handful of cast members who had not tested positive for Covid. He was planning on attending the annual Georgia High School…
At one time, Decatur-born Chris Tucker was the highest paid actor in all of Hollywood, taking home $25 million for his role in Rush Hour 3. These days, however, he’s pretty selective about projects — and his waiting fans can catch his newest film, Air, premiering in theaters this week and coming soon on Prime…
The news spread quickly — and far. A social media post from Atlanta Lyric Theatre on March 7 stated that the company had closed its doors after 42 years. The announcement caught most everyone off guard, not just because of its abrupt nature (no capital campaign or last-ditch effort to save the organization) but the…
Like most everyone else, Christopher Escobar — who owns the Plaza Theatre and serves as the executive director of the Atlanta Film Society — reacted to the news of the Tara Theatre’s closure last November with sadness and the assumption that the building would eventually be bulldozed. Then, to his own surprise, he was eventually…
During high school, Molly Drumm loved acting in theater productions. Yet, after she graduated from Johns Creek High School, she realized she didn’t really have a place where she could perform anymore. Fortunately, with Jerry’s Habima Theatre, she has been able to return to her passion for stage work. The 22-year-old actress plays the titular…
Michael B. Jordan and Jonathan Majors are superstars these days, with blockbusters amongst their credits, but both have also lined their resumes with smaller, more character-driven fare. Both men appear in the new Creed III, opening March 3 and filmed in Atlanta. Ahead of a local premiere last week, the two spoke to press briefly…
The multi-disciplinary collaboration between Marium Khalid and Michael Haverty on their interpretation of Pinocchio started well before Covid. It was back in 1523 — 500 years ago. Well, not really . . . but it certainly feels that way to the artists. Two years ago, the pair made a film from the first 16 chapters…
