Encore Atlanta

Playwright Carla Ching double-dips with plays on two Atlanta stages; Stephen Sondheim’s on his way to Actor’s Express; the Nora show continues in AE’s “Doll’s House”; the ASO returns; and Aurora opens the intriguing “Be Here Now.”

Our rundown of events from now through mid-November is arranged chronologically and includes eco and film fests, fried green tomatoes, big pigs, Native American traditions and chili for the chilly.
