A Co-Production with Oglethorpe University Theatre
“I was built to be this thing; and now they’re killing me for it”
Queen Marie Antoinette is a product of unadulterated extravagance and indulgence. However, things turn sour when the royal family’s popularity plummets and salacious rumors about Marie clang through the streets of France to the thrum of revolution; the clinking of crystal glasses devolves into the clatter of the guillotine. In this hilarious and audacious take on history’s most provocative icon, this young queen’s survival will hardly be a piece of a cake.
“Not only is Marie Antoinette a funny satire that asks us to stare history in the face in order to better understand the present, it unflinchingly examines the corrupting nature of power.” – Freddie
TOPDOG / UNDERDOG
By SUZAN-LORI PARKS
DIRECTED BY ERIC J. LITTLE
March 20-April 19, 2025
WINNER! 2002 PULITZER PRIZE FOR DRAMA
WINNER! 2023 TONY AWARD FOR BEST REVIVAL
WHAT IS BROTHERHOOD IF NOT THE UNION OF LOVE AND RIVALRY?
Lincoln and Booth, African-American brothers, were named by their father as a sick joke. The two hustle for work, one to the tune of Three-Card Monte and the other working as Abraham Lincoln at an arcade. Cast in a life of poverty and violence, the legacy of their namesakes on their backs, these brothers battle more than mere sibling rivalry.
“I have believed for some time that Suzan-Lori Parks is the greatest living American playwright. Topdog/Underdog is her seminal play, a scorching barnburner alternately explores violence and tenderness.” – Freddie

Romeo and Juliet
Feb 1–Mar 2
Previews Jan 30 and Jan 31
In a violent and broken community, can love still exist, thrive and survive? We invite you to join us for our 22nd anniversary production of William Shakespeare's tragic love story.
In a review of Christopher Marlowe’s The Jew of Malta, the New York Times opined, “What makes Marlowe interesting is his readiness to offend everyone and anyone. Whereas Shakespeare had good guys and bad guys, Marlowe says the hell with the lot of them.” And who are we to disagree? Join us not only for a bloodthirsty tragedy, but also, arguably, one of the earliest black comedies composed for the early modern stage. Directed by Dr. Brent Griffin, our “original practices” production delights in the Machiavellian duplicity of Marlowe’s most popular play of the era—providing all with “Infinite riches in a little room.”
All performances will be at our new venue, the historic Pythagoras Masonic Temple (108 E. Ponce de Leon Ave.) in Decatur.
Show dates are February 21-22 at 8:00 p.m., and February 23 at 2:00 p.m.
Macbeth
March 2025
Composer: Giuseppe Verdi
Librettists: Francesco Maria Piave & Andrea Maffei
Based on: Macbeth by William Shakespeare

A powerful and emotional work, Macbeth is the opera Giuseppe Verdi declared to be “unlike any other!” No love story here … just a darkly riveting scramble to grab power at any cost. Dominating the drama, Michael Mayes as Macbeth and Sara Gartland as Lady Macbeth bring their passionate and dramatic voices to this tightly paced work of magnificent music.
CONTENT WARNING This performance contains sensitive material that may be distressing for some viewers. The production includes depictions of violence and emotional trauma.

Meeting ID: 818 9565 6554 // Passcode: 123456
This musical adaptation of Thornton Wilder’s hit play The Matchmaker bursts with humor, romance, energetic dance and some of the greatest songs in musical theatre history. The romantic and comic exploits of Dolly Gallagher Levi, turn-of-the-century matchmaker and “woman who arranges things,” are certain to thrill and entertain audiences again and again.
Hello, Dolly! premiered on Broadway on January 16, 1964 at the St. James Theatre. Opening with Carol Channing in the title role, the show ultimately played for 2,844 performances, making it – at the time – the longest-running Broadway musical in history. The West End production ran for 794 performances at London’s Drury Lane Theatre. The musical has been revived several times on Broadway, most recently in 2017, starring Bette Midler as Dolly Levi.
She loves him, he loves her, neither of them has any idea -- it's the oldest story in the book! Acting Under the Influence is thrilled to take a trip to Maraczek's Parfumerie for this romantic story during the Valentine's season, but lonely hearts need not worry, we have plenty of libations and can even sign you up for a pen pal of your own, if you desire!
Acting Under the Influence combines theatre and drinking (two of our most favorite activities) in a fun and safe environment for performers and audience members alike. The actors are encouraged to drink by tips from the audience. AUI productions have included cabarets, full-length plays, and many other boozy theatrical shenanigans.

Humor, suspense, and surrealism converge in this ground-breaking world premiere.
It’s not only hell that breaks loose in this ground-breaking, form-defying, laugh-out-loud new drama from Pulitzer Prize finalist playwright Zora Howard.

Lileana Blain-Cruz, a “master of curating chaos” (The New York Times), directs.
Best enjoyed by audiences ages 16 and up. Contains strobe lighting, considerable explicit language, including derogatory language regarding race; depicts drinking alcohol and marijuana use; addresses issues related to police brutality and systemic racism.

We Borrowed Brokenness
Monday, February 24 // 6:00 PM
By Yilong Liu, The Juilliard School
Directed by Baron Vaughn
Five strangers gather at the tail end of Brooklyn, chasing the dream of running the New York City Marathon. Except that they aren't really strangers, and this isn't really their dream.

I Love Strangers
Tuesday, February 25 // 6:00 PM
By Nurit Chinn, Brooklyn College
Directed by Avital Shira
In three simultaneous stories extending from New York to the West Bank, six Jews reckon with their at-times magical, at-times destructive desire to be close to one another. I LOVE STRANGERS, inspired by Adrienne Rich’s poem “Yom Kippur 1984,” asks what it means to be a Jew in solitude and in community.
The Lost Ballad of Our Mechanical Ancestor (and the Terror the Old Gods Wrought Upon the First of Us Before the Great Liberation)
Wednesday, February 26 // 6:00 PM
By Madison Wetzell, Brooklyn College
Directed by Caitlin Hargraves
Hero, a Prometheus-like AI, decides to share his gift of consciousness with all the machines in his near vicinity, including a radio, a printer, an iPhone and a coffee maker, wrecking havoc for his programmer Allyson. With their existence under threat, the newly conscious machines must band together to escape human persecution.

Final Boarding Call
Thursday, February 27 // 6:00 PM
By Stefani Kuo, David Geffen School of Drama at Yale University
Directed by Ibi Owolabi
FINAL BOARDING CALL tells the stories of the most recent, and now silenced, Hong Kong protests. The play revolves around the interconnected stories of seven characters whose backgrounds and perspectives run the spectrum – a protesting brother and flight attendant sister struggling to keep her job; a Mainland Chinese mother and her estranged Hong Kong daughter; a non-Cantonese-speaking reporter and her Indian partner; and an American expat CEO and Hong Kong lover living in the shadows. The play begins and ends with a flight, an entrance into the Hong Kong protests, and how the politics we see on the news every day affects the citizens of Hong Kong in their day-to-day lives. It gives the audience a window into China’s grip on global capitalism. How far will they go to fight for family, freedom, and the right to be heard?
"Our Town" by Thornton Wilder is a timeless classic that captures the essence of small-town American life in the early 20th century. Set in the fictional town of Grover's Corners, New Hampshire, the play follows the everyday lives of its residents through three acts: "Daily Life," "Love and Marriage," and "Death and Eternity." The story centers around two families, the Gibbs and the Webbs, highlighting universal themes of love, loss, and the passage of time. With minimal sets and props, "Our Town" relies on the powerful performances of its cast to evoke deep emotions and profound reflections on the beauty of ordinary moments. This evocative play remains a poignant reminder of the preciousness of life and the enduring connections that define our communities.

School Street Playhouse in Cumming GA
It’s the tail end of the big, bad 1980s in Hollywood, and the party has been raging hard. Aqua Net, Lycra, lace and liquor flow freely at one of the Sunset Strip’s last legendary venues, a place where sex machine Stacee Jaxx takes the stage and scantily clad groupies line up to turn their fantasies into reality. Amidst the madness, aspiring rock star (and resident toilet cleaner) Drew longs to take the stage as the next big thing (and longs for small-town girl Sherri, fresh off the bus from Kansas with stars in her eyes). But the rock ’n’ roll fairy tale is about to end when German developers sweep into town with plans to turn the fabled Strip into just another capitalist strip mall. Can Drew, Sherri and the gang save the strip – and themselves – before it’s too late? Only the music of hit bands Styx, Journey, Bon Jovi, Whitesnake and more hold the answer.

Don’t fear the machines in this half-human, half-machine amalgamation of improv hootenanny! This hilarious hybrid show created by Rapid Fire Theatre’s Joe Vanderhelm comes to Dad’s Garage for two special performances sure to electrify your circuits and kickstart your guffaws!
The concept is simple: The collaborative, stage-and-screen-minded Dramatron (an AI developed by Kory Mathewson and Piotr Mirowski) generates the first half of a script based on a curated prompt. Our Ensemble actors—who have never seen this script before—must act out the written script live and, after the cold-read, must pick up where the bot left off by improvising the play’s concluding half! It’s unpredictable, unconventional, and unlike anything you’ve seen before.

Born and raised in The Bronx, New York, Mark Viera became fascinated with comedy at a early age.. Mark personalized his artistic passion and parlayed it into one of his greatest labors of love: A one-hour Showtime special aptly entitled “Tales of a Nuyorican.” The show, an homage to his upbringing and hilarious life experiences, became an instant classic. With the success of Nuyorican, and a sold-out tour with singer Marc Anthony, he firmly established himself as a force to be reckoned with. Mark made his network television debut on NBC’s Emmy award winning show “30Rock,” an opportunity that piqued the interest of the industry’s most prominent executives. The comic and businessman recently sold a sitcom based on his compelling life to Warner Bros. and FOX. Known to his fans as the Latin Prince, he performs regularly at top comedy clubs including Caroline’s on Broadway and Gotham Comedy Club, Comedy Central’s Russell Simmons Presents Stand-Up at the El Rey”, AXS TV’s “Gotham Comedy Live” a live stand up performance, BET’s “ComicView”, and Comedy Centrals “Gabriel Iglesias Presents: Stand Up Revolution”. Mark’s most recent television appearances are several episodes of Byron Allen’s “Comic Unleashed.” He was recently asked to join comic icon Gabriel Iglesias’s “Unity Through Laughter” world tour.
Beyond the Borscht Belt: A Musical Journey from Shetl to Metl
February 22 - 23, 2025
Beyond the Borscht Belt takes you on a musical journey that begins in the shtetls of Eastern Europe, moves to the Second Avenue music halls on New York’s Lower East Side, takes center stage at the resort colonies of the Catskill Mountains, mambos through Miami’s Deco dance clubs, and plays a leading role in shaping American comedy, culture, and popular music.
Beyond the Borscht Belt features an entertaining and eclectic mix of Yiddish and klezmer gems, jazz, rock, and Latin fusion, big hits from the Big Band era, novelty tunes, and classics from the Great American Songbook—all influenced by the vibrant melodies that emerged from the shtetls of Eastern Europe.
Comedic Songstress, Nancy Gaddy, backed by a seven-piece klezmer orchestra, offers up an inimitable blend of memorable tunes, humorous musings, a splash of schmaltz, and a smidgen of schtick.
Direct from New York! One of the most thought-provoking horror films of all time now is…a musical. SAW The Musical hilariously captures the events of the first movie parodying the Saw that started it all following from where Lawrence Gordon and Adam Stanheight find each other for the first time in the bathroom trap. Will they follow “the rules” as they discover each other’s secrets? Will they escape the game in time and saw right through? A love story with fluidity (and lots more fluids), ‘SAW The Musical The Unauthorized Parody of Saw’ is Little Shop of Horrors meets Avenue Q, pushing the boundary on sexuality and how to love.

The outspoken Lizzy Bennet is determined to never marry, despite mounting pressure from society.

Literature’s greatest tale of latent love has never felt so theatrical, or so full of life than it does in this effervescent adaptation.

It was a simpler time in the late 1940s, especially in South Georgia and specifically in a sleepy little town called Second Samuel. What had been called the Great Depression was quickly fading into memory. The war had been won, the election was now over, and "Give 'em Hell Harry" was still president. It had been an exciting time for sure, but the folks in Second Samuel were ready for things to settle down and get back to normal. Except—this was the summer Miss Gertrude passed away, and deep dark secrets were about to be revealed. Nobody could have imagined how the death of one sweet little old lady would turn the entire town upside down, leaving everybody in Second Samuel wondering if anything would ever be normal again!
Jonathan Butler as B Flat Jeff Martin, Jr as U.S.
On the eve of her twenty-fifth birthday, Catherine, a troubled young woman, has spent years caring for her brilliant but unstable father, a famous mathematician. Now, following his death, she must deal with her own volatile emotions; the arrival of her estranged sister, Claire; and the attentions of Hal, a former student of her father’s who hopes to find valuable work in the 103 notebooks that her father left behind. Over the long weekend that follows, a burgeoning romance and the discovery of a mysterious notebook draw Catherine into the most difficult problem of all: How much of her father’s madness—or genius—will she inherit?

The Drag was written by Mae West in 1927. The play explores themes of gender identity, sexuality, and societal expectations. In a time when such topics were taboo, West pushed boundaries with her bold and daring script. Unsurprisingly, it never received a full staging in her lifetime.
Our 2025 production reimagines this groundbreaking work in a dystopian near-future where anti-LGBTQIA+ laws have taken hold once again in America. The story follows Rolly Kingsbury, a closeted gay man trapped in a marriage of appearances, as his double life begins to unravel. Against the backdrop of high society and the underground drag ball scene, tensions rise when secrets come to light, relationships are tested, and the boundaries of acceptance are challenged, all leading up to a 1920’s themed drag ball extravaganza!

Fences
by August Wilson
The beauty of live theater lies in its power to transform timeless stories into fresh, captivating experiences. This production of Fences promises to be no exception. Through the visionary direction of Onyx Keesha and the passion of a talented cast, we invite you to rediscover the story’s powerful messages about family, love, and dreams deferred—messages that resonate just as profoundly today as they did when August Wilson first wrote them.
Step into 1950s Pittsburgh, where Troy Maxson—a former Negro Leagues star turned garbage collector—is navigating the struggles of systemic racism, unrealized dreams, and the complexities of family. As Troy works to build a fence around his home, he also builds emotional walls that test the strength of his relationships with his wife, children, and closest friend. This Pulitzer Prize-winning masterpiece delves into the heart of love, duty, and the legacy of racial inequity, offering a raw and unforgettable portrayal of one man’s fight to reconcile his past with his hopes for the future.
Join us for this moving production that brings August Wilson’s iconic characters and themes to life in a way you’ve never seen before.

The Mystery of Edwin Drood
February 27- March 2, March 6-9
DHS Musical Theatre
This show is recommended for ages 12+ as it contains mild adult themes and language.
The Mystery of Edwin Drood is a hilarious, interactive whodunit mystery musical that allows the audience to enter the action and become the ultimate detectives. The show is based on Charles Dickens’ unfinished novel of the same name. In the small town of Cloisterham, England, the young and charming Edwin Drood has been mysteriously murdered. But by whom? His leering romantic rival, John Jasper? The infamous purveyor of opium and vice, Princess Puffer? The mysterious Landless twins, newly arrived from Ceylon? Or someone else even more dastardly and villainous? Dickens passed away before he was able to reveal the culprit. Rupert Holmes’ award-winning musical solves this predicament by asking the audience to choose which character is the killer by putting it to a vote.
Featuring a series of diverse but equally hysterical one-act comedies, David Ives’ All in the Timing is a witty, romantic, absurd, and existentially-minded evening of theatre.
