The Last Night of Ballyhoo is a comedic drama set in 1939 as Hitler invades Poland and the premiere of Gone with the Wind. The play centers around a Jewish family in Atlanta, making arrangements for the social event of the season: a ballyhoo, around Christmastime. On Sounds Good, members of the cast speak with Todd Hatton about the multi-layered production, learning Hebrew and Jewish culture and comedic timing ahead of the play's opening this weekend.
The Last Night of Ballyhoo was written by Alfred Uhry, also known for his play Driving Miss Daisy. Don Fleming directs.
The play runs June 10 through 19, with 7 p.m. performances Friday and Saturday and 2:30 p.m. matinees Sunday.
