PERFORMING ARTS
You can’t talk about performing arts in Atlanta without mentioning the Fox Theatre in Midtown. The glitzy marquee lures you in and the auditorium—formerly a movie theater—charms you with its dreamy blue ceiling and gold accents. The theater plays host to a variety of shows throughout the year, most notably Broadway Across America where all of Broadway’s hits grace the stage and save you a plane ticket to NYC. You can catch “Wicked” running this month from Oct. 23-Nov. 17. The rest of the season includes such smashes as “Hello, Dolly!,” “Miss Saigon” and “Hamilton”.Going to the Fox is a big event, but there are low-key options, too. 7 Stages Theatre in Little Five Points was established 40 years ago, and it provides an entertaining way for theatergoers to watch plays that focus on social and political justice.
Serenbe Playhouse, in Chattahoochee Hills, is a bit of a drive but the experience is incredible. The “playhouse” isn’t a brick and mortar structure—it changes depending on the play. Until Nov. 3, see “The Sleepy Hollow Experience,” based on Washington Irving’s spooky tale, and follows along with Ichabod Crane on his fateful day.
