by Alfred Uhry, directed by Phoebe Moyer

Winner of a Tony Award and nominated for a Pulitzer Prize, this charming and bittersweet comedy is set in Atlanta on the eve of World War II. Hitler’s just invaded Poland, but the biggest concern of the Freitag family is Ballyhoo, a lavish country club cotillion for the elite southern Jewish community and the social event of the season. But when a handsome stranger from New York arrives, gentle comedy, sweet romance and unexpected turns lie just around the corner.
