Theatrical Outfit

Brings You a Smart, Authentic, Vital Spring

Spring has officially arrived, and with it comes the continuation of Theatrical Outfit’s Spring 2021 Season. After the groundbreaking return of Lauren M. Gunderson to ATL with The Catastrophist, two more amazing productions are in the wings!

These exciting plays are all perfectly suited for the digital format and will offer outstanding performances that come to life right in the comfort of your own home. In April, a hit British play, fresh from a West End run, will make its Atlanta debut when A Hundred Words for Snow by Tatty Hennessy blows onto your screen. Matt Torney directs this tender & epic play that follows the story of Rory, a 15-year-old girl who copes with her grief at her father’s passing by running away to spread his ashes across the North Pole. Then in June, we are excited to present the seminal play Fires In The Mirror: Crown Heights, Brooklyn And Other Identities by Anna Deavere Smith. Taken directly from a series of interviews with over 50 members of the Jewish and Black communities following the historic Crown Heights riots, which happened 30 years ago this summer, this timely piece turns their voices into a tour de force one-woman show starring January LaVoy. Fires In The Mirror will STREAM LIVE from Theatrical Outfit for nine PERFORMANCES ONLY — making it the true not-to-be-missed theatrical event of the season.

“I’m 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,” says Torney, artistic director. “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 Spring will also see the return of our annual gala when Our Luckie Stars Gala takes center stage in May. Join TO this year for a fun evening of homemade cocktails, fabulous auction items, and lots of surprises! TO will honor devoted District 2 Councilmember, Amir R. Farokhi at this event.

While we all wait for the opportunity to all be together in a theatre again, Theatrical Outfit promises to continue bringing you smart, authentic, vital digital theatre that starts the conversations that matter. We invite you to visit theatricaloutfit.org or call 678-528-1500 for additional details.
