Arts Calendar
Apr. 12 - May. 5
Thursday at 7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday at 8 p.m. with a 2:30 p.m. matinee on Sunday
Garland Civic Theatre: The last Night of Ballyhoo presented by Garland Civic Theatre
the Granville Arts Center,
300 North 5th Street,
Garland, TX
Ticket Price: $18-$21
The comedy is set in the upper class German-Jewish community living in Atlanta, Georgia in December 1939. Hitler has recently conquered Poland, Gone with the Wind is about to premiere, and Adolph Freitag (owner of the Dixie Bedding Company) and his sister Boo and nieces Lala and Sunny - a Jewish family so highly assimilated they have a Christmas tree in the front parlor - are looking forward to Ballyhoo, a lavish cotillion sponsored by their restrictive country club. Adolph's employee Joe Farkas is an attractive eligible bachelor and an Eastern European Jew, familiar with prejudice but unable to fathom its existence within his own religious community. His presence prompts college student Sunny to examine intra-ethnic bias, her Jewish identity (or lack thereof), and the beliefs with which she's been raised. For information: (972) 205-2790 or www.garlandcivictheatre.org
