Energy of the Stage
If we could see anything this weekend, our list would include “Fly” at Theatrical Outfit, “Good People” (before it closes) at the Alliance and “Lovers & Lunatics” in English AND French at Théâtre du Rêve. What about you?
Read MoreOpening this week are the fast-paced comedy “Bob” (Aurora Theatre) and David Lindsay-Abaire’s much-praised “Good People” (Alliance). Closing: “Waiting for Balloon” at the Alliance’s Theatre for the Very Young. Worth checking out: 7 Stages’ new Home Brew Series of new-play readings; “Swell Party,” which is swell, if long, at Georgia Ensemble; and “Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson,” which is still stirring buzz as it hits week two in its six-week run at Actor’s Express.

If not, try 7 Stages’ anti-holiday “Atlanta Xmas Apocalypse,” the Collective Project’s “The Theory of Everything” or Fabrefaction’s “Little Women.”
