Energy of the Stage
7 Stages this week launched its new — and free — Home Brew Series of new-play readings with a piece titled “Mass Transit Muse” by Michael Molina. The series continues Sunday with “Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow” by Atlanta playwright Nathaniel Lachenmeyer.
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.

Read MoreSome of the most worthy projects on Atlanta theater’s buffet table this next week likely won’t make headlines. For that reason we recommend “The Exonerated” at the Alliance; “Naked City,” from the PushPush peeps at the Goat Farm; “The Theory of Everything” by the Collective Project, also at the Goat Farm; and Working Title Playwrights’ “WTP Chain Play.” Lots of holiday morsels remain as well.
