The Last Night of Ballyhoo

by Alfred Uhry / directed by Chesley Plemmons

Main Stage | May 2,3 8,9,10 16,17,18 23,24 2014

From the author who penned Driving Miss Daisy comes this funny and moving tale. It’s Atlanta, 1939. Hitler has conquered Poland, Gone with the Wind is about to premiere, and Adolph Freitag, his sister Boo, and nieces Lala and Sunny can’t wait for Ballyhoo – the social event of the year for Atlanta’s elitist German-Jewish community. Adolph’s new employee Joe Farkas seems an attractive eligible bachelor, but is a Jew of Eastern European descent deemed unacceptable to some members of the Freitag family. Unexpected romantic, touching, and comedic events unfold as the characters face where they come from and who they really are in this 1997 Tony Award-winner for Best Play.
