Energy of the Stage
Our top picks this week include the final weekend of “Choir Boy” at the Alliance, and two world premieres — Synchronicity’s “Milvotchkee, Visconsin” and Horizon’s “Third Country.” BTW, congrats if you have tickets to Serenbe Playhouse’s “Sleepy Hollow Experience,” the run is sold out.
Read MoreThe riches are many. See one, two or three. “Choir Boy.” “Milvotchkee, Visconsin.” ASO world premiere. “Tosca.” “Urinetown: The Musical.” “The Guys.” “Venus in Fur.” “Spunk.” And much, much more.
Read MoreThe Atlanta Symphony Orchestra begins its 69th season this weekend, which also sees the openings of “Milvotchkee, Visconsin” (a world premiere at Synchronicity) and “The Navigator” (a 7 Stages production at the Goat Farm Arts Center). Continuing at the Alliance is “Choir Boy” by Tarell Alvin McCraney, who just this week won a MacArthur Foundation “genius” grant. Have fun!
