THE LAST NIGHT OF BALLYHOO by Alfred Uhry
Production Dates: Dec. 16 – Jan. 17
Director: Joy Hawkins

The time is 1939, when the most important thing in young Lala Levy’s life is the Atlanta premiere of Gone With the Wind. More urgent to her widowed mother, Boo, is the question of who will be Lala’s date for the last night of Ballyhoo, the formal dance that crowns the party season for Atlanta’s Jewish Society.

Characters:

ADOLPH FREITAG: A businessman, late 40’s – early 60’s. Gently acerbic with secret sorrows. Kind, wise, occasionally grumpy.

BOO LEVY: Adolph’s sister. Late 40s – early 60s. Desperately concerned for her daughter’s future. Dry wit.

REBA FREITAG: Adolph’s sister-in-law. Mid 40s to late 50s. Seemingly simple. Perhaps not the sharpest blade in the drawer. Sunny’s adoring mother.

LALA LEVY: Boo’s daughter, 20s. An off-kilter, high-strung, odd-duck. Thrilled by all things “Gone With the Wind”.

SUNNY FREITAG: Reba’s daughter, 20s. A junior at Wellesley. Self-possessed.

JOE FARKAS: Adolph’s business assistant, 20s – early 30s. A charmer from New York City.

PEACHY WEIL: A male visitor from Lake Charles, 20s – early 30s. Blithely arrogant and outspoken.

CLARK GABLE SLEPT HERE by Micheal McKeever
Production Dates: Feb. 3 – March 7
Director: Joy Hawkins

This jet-black satire unfolds on the night of the Golden Globes Awards in LA in a glamorous penthouse. Nothing is ever what it seems and closets are used for much more than hanging up your Tom Ford tuxedo.

Characters:

GAGE HOLLAND: 3’s – 40s. A hotel manager. The only decent person in the room

ESTELLA: 20s – 50s. A hotel maid. Must speak Spanish well. Smarter than a fox and hides it well.

JARROD “HILLY” HILLIARD: 50s. A super manager/agent. Cool, collected, razor-sharp.

MORGAN WRIGHT: 40s – 50s. A Hollywood “fixer”. Glamorous, gorgeous with a commanding presence

TRAVIS: 20s – maybe 30s. A “dead” male prostitute. Great body. Also has to act.
