About Feeding Beatrice
June and Lurie Walker, the proud new owners of a creaky old gothic house, have a haunting new houseguest – and she’s ravenously hungry. When Beatrice arrives, she burrows deep into their existence and unearths secrets with explosive consequences. Expertly crafted, this spine-chilling thriller evokes the terror of Get Out and the suspense of Hitchcock’s Psycho. A gothic tale that metaphorically and literally reveals the dark-side of America’s past and its lingering effects in the present.
In the Words of the Theatre
“Feeding Beatrice is both hilarious and haunting as Black couple June and Lurie seek to assimilate in the 'perfect neighborhood' no matter the cost. But their house becomes a very real character when an unexpected guest appears who will not make this an easy journey. We are excited to present this powerful play that uses the genre of horror to highlight the systemic and present obstacles many face in pursuit of the American Dream."
-Aurora Theatre Co-Founder, President and CEO Anthony Rodriguez

The performing arts festival’s 9th installment brings together artists from across the globe with shows available to stream in a convenient online format.
The annual Atlanta Fringe Festival will offer a variety of performances from theatre to sketch comedy from both American and European artists through June 13th. Comprised of primarily high-definition advance recordings, the festival includes on-demand and livestream performances with some Q&A opportunities.
From the company
“Like a lot of Fringe festivals this year, we made the choice a long time ago to present everything online this year to make sure our artists and audiences were kept safe,” says Atlanta Fringe Executive Director Diana Brown. “Even as we get closer to our normal lives, we know that a lot of people have come to embrace and sometimes prefer the convenience of supporting artists online, so we’re happy to provide that for our audience members. Plus, as we know from doing this festival every year, Atlanta is not always the most comfortable place to be walking around in June, so it’s nice to spend a year where we can enjoy the Atlanta Fringe Festival in our nice, air-conditioned living rooms.”
About the performances
The 11 companies that make up this year’s festival come from all across the U.S., including Atlanta-area locals as well as artists from as far away as Chicago, Alaska and even Amsterdam. The shows run the gamut of performance styles, from family-friendly dance to live improv to a risqué solo musical about polyamory. As in previous years, festival artists will be eligible for cash prizes for the favorite shows as selected by the audience, staff and a panel of judges from the Atlanta arts community. These will be awarded during a live-streamed wrap party on June 13.
Did someone say FREE?
In addition to the live video performances, Atlanta Fringe will once again feature their audio component, Fringe Audio. The only podcasting network of its kind on the Fringe circuit, Fringe Audio will feature pieces of storytelling and radio theatre, most of them world premieres, submitted by local and international artists. The shows will be available for streaming via AtlantaFringe.org for FREE starting June 1. One show will receive the $100 Fringe Audio Critics’ Choice Award to recognize excellence in podcasting based on writing, voiceover, sound effects, music, mixing and creativity.

A theatre company that has been known for having no walls is taking that to a new and very literal level.
Quick facts
In partnership with the 2021 Atlanta Science Festival, Found Stages has created a Zoom-specific play, The Shift, streaming March 13-27. The interactive piece gives audiences a role to play in this post-apocalyptic story which imagines the United States after droughts caused by climate change have dried up water sources and depleted reservoirs.
In the words of the creators
“The Shift is not a play adapted for zoom; it is a play written for zoom,” asserts Found Stages Co-Founder Neeley Gossett, who is one of the show’s writers. “This play can only be done virtually, and it relies on the audience working together to solve puzzles, like an escape room. It is completely different from any other zoom play you’ve seen.”
About The Shift
In a world vaguely similar to our own... "The Shift" has made life as we used to know it obsolete. A years-long drought has led to a shortage of natural resources. Water is scarce. Above the Fault Line, a greedy bottling plant has dammed up the river. Above Faulters receive clean bottled water, but those in Below Fault are left with barely enough to survive. The Committee has decided to take matters into their own hands. But they need YOUR help! Join your fellow citizens and guide three female engineers of the rebellion as they infiltrate the plant and reroute the water system.

On Friday, Actor’s Express will launch its first-ever serialized podcast series, Crossroads. This comes about as a commission from the theatre to six BIPOC Atlanta writers to write an original adventure drama taking place throughout time and space.
In the words of the company
"As an African-American woman, the fight for equality, diversity, and inclusion in theatre is daunting at times. On certain days theatre seems to make significant progress. On other days, it seems the theatre industry is in the same place that it was 50 years ago—with my voice being silenced, misinterpreted, or only used to tell the African-American culture story."
"I used the word "daunting" because, in my mind, it implies the struggle but also the continuation of working toward a better tomorrow. When assembling this cohort of playwrights, I wanted to amplify people of color's voices, but I also wanted them to feel free to write about life's intersectionality. Crossroads has turned into a beautiful, adventurous story by people of color, about people of color, and for people of color."
-Amanda Washington, Crossroads director
“Since the beginning of the pandemic, Actor’s Express has been experimenting with different ways to bring stories to our audiences. Like most other theatres during this time, we have sought ways to turn the challenges of the moment into opportunities to expand our notions of what theatre can be."
"Amanda Washington, our National New Play Network Producer in Residence, had a podcast drama idea. She and I brainstormed about the shape it would take, and we are excited by the process.”
-Freddie Ashley, AE Artistic Director
About Crossroads
It is the journey of living and what someone will sacrifice in order to live.
Three friends feel stuck in their lives in a dead-end town. One evening, they kill time in an abandoned playground and fantasize about the changes they’d make in their lives if given the chance to trade their souls. Their innocent game unwittingly catapults them into a dangerous adventure that hurdles them through time and space into a strange world that brings them face-to-face with the Devil herself. Crossroads challenges concepts of Earth and Hell, and explores the limits we’ll go to in the search of life, happiness and liberation.
“Crossroads” was made possible by a grant from the National New Play Network and Lead Sponsors Mark Williamson and John and Pat Valleroy.

Films for the Broadway Fan
Little Shop of Horrors
Sunday, February 21 at 7:00 PM The Home Depot Backyard - Mercedes Benz Stadium (not available to stream)
About: This 35th anniversary screening of the Off-Broadway sensation features an electrifying fusion of retro camp, horror, and showstopper tunes from Broadway and Disney's Alan Menken and the late Howard Ashman. Rick Moranis and Ellen Greene star as amorous outcasts, with Vincent Gardenia as Skid Row shop owner Mr. Mushnik, Four Tops crooner Levi Stubbs voicing the potty-mouth plant, and inspired cameos by Steve Martin and Bill Murray. With jaw-dropping special effects, puppeteer-director Frank Oz delivers the darkly delicious comedic fun. Visit ajff.org/film/little-shop-horrors to purchase tickets.
On Broadway
Thursday, February 25 at 12:00 PM (for 72 hours in the Virtual Cinema)
Broadway’s decline and resurgence dates to the late ‘60s, when New York City faced bankruptcy, and 42nd Street was a cesspool of junkies, hustlers and strip clubs. The Shubert Organization was first to the rescue, investing in novel works that revived the theater district. Myriad stage legends narrate Broadway’s return from the brink, their tales enhanced by a wildly captivating wealth of performance clips. Oren Jacoby’s love letter to the Great White Way is a reminder of both the cultural void left in the pandemic’s wake, and the enormous creative influence of Jewish Americans in musical theater. Visit ajff.org/film/broadway to purchase tickets.

While the theatre community has endured a lot of changes, Theatrical Outfit has had a particularly surprising year.
When you-know-what hit last spring, longtime Artistic Director Tom Key was on the home stretch of his retirement with plans for Matt Torney to pick up the torch. Torney had about enough time to announce plans for his debut season before it became clear execution of any of those plans would be challenging, if not impossible.
In regrouping for a new 2020/21 season, the team adapted by producing some digital programming in the fall and even hired a new associate artistic director at the beginning of 2021. So as a culmination of these changes, the theatre has just announced a fully reworked digital spring season, accessible to patrons everywhere.
From Theatrical Outfit
“I am thrilled with the response we have gotten for our digital programming so far, and am excited to share these exceptional plays with Atlanta audiences this Spring."
"When putting this season together, we challenged ourselves to look for plays that both engaged directly with the crucial questions of 2021 and the COVID recovery and also allowed our audience escape into new worlds and explore ideas in fresh and exciting ways. The three plays also create a path towards reopening this fall, especially the live stream of Fires in the Mirror which will feel as close to live theatre as you can get at home!”
