THE LAST NIGHT OF BALLYHOO By Alfred Uhry | Directed by Amber McGinnis

“a winning play…wonderfully crafted script” —Variety

The year is 1939 and Atlanta’s posh German Jews are preparing for Ballyhoo, their annual lavish country club ball. The Freitag family hopes that the party of the year will be the chance for their daughters to meet their future husbands—but when their uncle brings home his new employee, a handsome Eastern European bachelor from Brooklyn, everyone must confront their own prejudices, desires, and beliefs. Winner of the Tony Award for Best Play, The Last Night of Ballyhoo is a comedic and enthralling romance by the writer of Driving Miss Daisy. From the Artistic Director: “This classic comedy is a quintessentially American story, set on the edge of a nation about to be transformed. It is a shy romance, an achingly beautiful memory of a time not too long ago.”
