THE LAST NIGHT OF BALLYHOO
Written by: Alfred Uhry
Directed by: David Smith-English
Sept. 24 – Oct. 11, 2009
It’s December of 1939. Gone with the Wind storms the silver screen. Hitler invades Poland. But the biggest concern of Atlanta’s Freitag family is Ballyhoo, a lavish ball for southern Jewish socialites. When Uncle Adolph brings Joe — his new, very eligible assistant — home for dinner, the romantic schemes begin. This comedy-drama captures the same heartfelt warmth as the author’s earlier success, Driving Miss Daisy.
