  3. Alliance Theatre’s Hand To God at Dad’s Garage Theatre  569 Ezzard St  Atlanta Described as “darkly delightful” (The New York Times), Hand to God – the irreverent puppet comedy, Tony Award® nominee, and the most produced play in American regional theater last season – makes its Atlanta debut. After the death of his father, meek Jason finds an outlet for his anxiety at the Christian Puppet Ministry. Jason’s complicated relationships with the town pastor, the school bully, the girl next door, and—most especially—his mother are thrown into upheaval when Jason’s puppet, Tyrone, takes on a shocking personality all its own.
  4. Campfire at the the Oak Theatre in Avondale Estates (through 10/28)  This entirely improvised show takes the audience’s true experiences with the unexplained or paranormal and weaves them into funny and spooky stories told ’round a campfire, bringing them to life. Perfect prep for Halloween!
  5. The Anointing Of Dracula:A Grand Guignol at Mary Gray Munroe Theater, Alumni Memorial University Center on 10/31   A blood-drenched rock n’ roll nightmare based on the original Dracula arriving just in time for Hallows’ Eve. Not the vampire you remember, but one you’ll never forget.

New Exhibits this Week

Leave a comment

The Art Farm  at Grange Hall in Chattahoochee Hills  presents a show of elegant botanical photography by Paula Susarte. Opening on October 28th from 4-7pm come celebrate this exhibition of works. On view: Oct 28 – Nov 30.  All are welcome.

Artist Statement

The inspiration for this collection was nature. Each image reflects innocence and a pure, perfect moment of beauty. To be in contact with nature gives me the opportunity to be present, to stop my mind, to connect with myself. For me, these aspects bring Peace for the Soul.

The allure in taking the photographs not only came from capturing the form of each flower but also from capturing the light and background of the setting. In addition, editing the composition and the contrast within each image allowed me to provide balance and harmony to the final photograph. All the images in this collection were made many years ago. I have collected them from my archive to form the Peace for the Soul Collection.

This exhibition is dedicated to my beloved grandmother, Carolina Orlandi. During my childhood, I followed her around the garden, watching her care for each plant. She loved the process of growing flowers, and felt great joy when the flowers bloomed.

Also opening this week:

“BROKEN BUT HEALED“ Art Exhibit at the Defoor Centre in Atlanta, featuring artwork by: Marcus E. Bishop. OPENING RECEPTION OCT. 26th 2017 Time: 5:00pm to 9:00pm and artist meet and greet @ 6:30
