Energy of the Stage
If we could see anything within the next week or so, it’d be the U.S. premiere of “Lady Lay” at 7 Stages, Moving in the Spirit’s “Between Worlds,” Atlanta Opera’s “The Italian Girl From Algiers,” Itzhak Perlman with the ASO, and “Much Ado About Nothing” under the stars, as Georgia Shakespeare once again fills Piedmont Park. So much to choose from, so little time!
