Stage Door Players (Dunwoody)
Bernard is planning a weekend with his chic Parisian mistress in a French farmhouse. He has arranged for a cordon bleu cook to prepare gourmet delights, is packing his wife Jacqueline off to her mother's, and
has even invited his best friend, Robert to provide the alibi. It's foolproof; what could possibly go wrong? Suppose Robert turns up not knowing why he has been invited? Suppose that Robert and Jacqueline are secret lovers? Suppose the cook is mistaken for the mistress and the mistress is unable to cook? An evening of hilarious confusion ensues, from the same man who brought us “Perfect Wedding.”

Dad's Garage (Atlanta - Little 5 Points, Grant Park, East Atlanta)
Just in time for the 2008 election, Dad's Garage brings you a World Premiere by locally grown playwright Lauren Gunderson that explores the idea of substance vs. spectacle and how we choose our leaders. Set in
the Bee Valley Christian High School's Cafetorium, this over-the-top satire watches two students duke it out for the title of student body president. Chocked full of special stunts, video pieces, and audience participation - the audience will put democracy to the test by voting to determine the winner and the ending of the show.

 World Premiere | Music Theatre |  Altar Boyz • Oct 16 @ 8:00 pm
Horizon Theatre Company (Atlanta - Little 5 Points, Grant Park, East Atlanta)
N’Sync could learn some moves from this heavenly boy band, apostles of pop who praise the Lord with funk and rhyme. This long-running, critically-acclaimed musical comedy is the hilarious story of a
small-town Christian boy-band (with one nice Jewish boy). Matthew, Mark, Luke, Juan and Abraham are nearing the end of their “Raise the Praise” tour of church halls and picnics. Now they have their chance to break into the big time, bringing their soul-saving tour to Atlanta. Armed with sharp wit, sinfully spectacular dance moves and angelic harmonies, the Altar Boyz aim to rock the masses of all denominations. A hilarious, holy hit for the whole family!

Georgia Shakespeare (Atlanta - Buckhead and North)
In a new original musical adaptation of Sophocles’ Greek classic, Antigone tells the story of one woman who defies political authority in order to stay true to her beliefs. Creon, the newly named king of
Thebes, has declared an edict giving honor to one fallen brother and disgrace to another, denying burial rites to the one who fought against the city in a bloody civil war. Antigone – one of the last surviving children of the ill-fated Oedipus – refuses to accept Creon’s decree and is determined to grant her fallen brother the rights the gods demand. In this timeless tale of one of literature’s most compelling heroines, one thing remains clear…truth never dies.

World Premiere |  Cannibal! The Musical • Oct 16 @ 8:00 pm
Dad's Garage (Atlanta - Little 5 Points, Grant Park, East Atlanta)
From Trey Parker (co-creator of South Park) and originally made for film, Dad's Garage performed the World Premiere of the stage play in 1998. The 10th Anniversary restaging of this campy comedy is sure to
knock your socks off and nibble off your frozen little toes. Based on a true story about the infamous Colorado cannibal Alferd Packer, you'll follow a group of prospectors into a viciously cold Rocky Mountain winter, for a horrific-ly hilarious account of survival including love, loss, singing, dancing, and of course...a little flesh-eating!
