Back to Season Schedule
The play is set in Atlanta, Georgia, in December 1939. Gone With the Wind is having its world premiere in the city and Hitler is invading Poland, but Atlanta’s elite Jewish community seems much more concerned about who is attending Ballyhoo, the social event of the season -- a coming-out event for young Jewish women. It seems a last chance for dreamy, unpopular Lala Freitag to find a suitable husband. The arrival of a young man from New York, complicates matters and the family is torn with dissension but eventually reunited, with plenty of comedy, romance, and revelations along the way.
