Some shows of note in March!
THEATER:
A Catered Affair, March 4-28, Aurora Theatre
-A musical scripted by Harvey Fierstein has taken its short life on Broadway (in 2008) and transformed itself for Atlanta.
Doubt, February 26-March 14, Pumphouse Players
-The movie, while amazing, can’t do it justice. See it live.
Free to Be…You and Me, February 9-March 7, Synchronicity Performance Group
-Don’t miss this change to relive your childhood – catch this show in its last weekend.
The Graduate, February 19-March 20, Rosewater Theatre
-The Broadway show wasn’t particularly well done, but maybe this Roswell theater can put a new spin on the classic movie.
RENT, February 19-March 21, Kudzu Playhouse
-You’ve read about the Charleston, SC experience, now check out Roswell’s cast.
Scandal!, February 19-April 30, Dad’s Garage Theatre
-If you live in Atlanta and you’ve never been to Dad’s Garage, go. Now. This is non-negotiable. The fact that the amazingly talented Amber Nash is featured in the key art for Scandal! only makes it better.
Amber Nash in Scandal!, an improvised soap opera.
Spring Awakening, March 9-March 14, Fox Theatre

Joanna Newsom, March 26, Variety Playhouse
