There is something therapeutic about writing a letter, especially when done under the veil of anonymity. It’s much harder to open ourselves up when we have to look someone in the eye and witness their reaction. Adapted for the stage by Nia Vardalos and running through April 23 at Theatrical Outfit, Tiny Beautiful Things is…
One in two is the kind of show that many people will avoid because it is uncomfortable, but it is also the kind of show that everyone across America should see. This current production — running through April 1 at Out Front Theatre — is proof positive of that. Donja R. Love’s one in two…
The 21st century has seen a massive shift in how the American public relates to Christianity, with various studies showing that fewer millennials and Gen Z’ers openly identify as Christian than previous generations, meaning that we, as a culture, are beginning to more openly question the role religion plays in our lives. This impulse is…
In the wake of the Black Lives Matter movement, it’s easy to forget that the wrongful death of another Black person is not always met with protests, marches, scathing op-eds and roof-rattling cries for justice. All of those things are important and necessary. But Good Bad People — on stage through March 12 at True…

While the show earns a…

The show in question is Christmas Dearest, a campy spoof of A Christmas Carol, written by Chicago-based playwright David Cerda. In Cerda’s saucy adaptation, the role of Scrooge is…
Since its founding in 1988, Actor’s Express has grown into one of Atlanta’s premier locations for bold and risky theatre. Now, they are continuing that trajectory with staff changes and an up-and-coming education program. Formerly the National New Play Network’s Producer in Residence, Amanda Washington will be moving into the position of associate artistic director…
Atlanta is on the rise when it comes to new play development, and Theatrical Outfit is jumping into the fray with their new program, Made in Atlanta. Now in its inaugural year, this program aims to champion Southern and Georgia-based voices. This season will feature workshops and readings of three new plays, including one commission…
Marietta Theatre in the Square’s new production of Little Shop of Horrors aims at reinventing the play for a modern audience, and the result is both intermittently sweet and awkward.
