What you need to know about the rest of the Alliance Theatre’s 2021/22 Season
The Alliance Theatre is well into its 2021/2022 Season, and we still have more exciting productions to come!
If you’re just now joining us, the first half of the season brought a host of eye-opening stories to our audiences. With Dream Hou$e closed and Toni Stone leaving the stage, there are still plenty of other stories waiting to make their debut.
Take a tour of the Shows tab on the website to see what is available to stream and purchase digital tickets.
Now, let’s get into the rest of the season!
Coming to the Coca-Cola Stage
There are two more stories waiting to grace the Coca-Cola Stage this season. Coming this March is Bina’s Six Apples, a co-production with Children’s Theatre Company.
Written by Lloyd Suh and directed by Eric Ting, Bina’s Six Apples tells the harrowing tale of a young girl from a war-torn Korea searching for her family and discovering the power of her own resilience. Throughout the run of the show, there will be loads of community events in partnership with Asian American and Pacific Islander groups to uplift AAPI voices right here in Atlanta.
Bina’s Six Apples opens March 11 and runs until March 27.
Closing out the season on the Coca-Cola stage is the world premiere of Trading Places.
This never-before-seen musical is an adaptation of the beloved 1980’s motion picture. With a book written by Thomas Lennon and music and lyrics by Alan Zachary and Michael Weiner, this musical adaptation explores the parallels of poverty and privilege in a way that will have you laughing your socks off! When a stockbroker and a street hustler are forced to switch lives in a bet between two wealthy brothers, the pair face comedic challenges they never thought to imagine.
This can’t-miss musical begins on May 25 and runs through June 26.
Looking for something to do with the little ones?
You can look forward to two shows from the Ken & Kathy Bernhardt Theatre for the Very Young fit for even the youngest thespian.
First up is Do You Love the Dark?
Directed by Alexis Woodard, this visually stunning production is an adaptation of the heartwarming children’s book by the Alliance Theatre’s Resident Artist & Allyship Program Director, Maya Lawrence, in partnership with the Mayor’s Summer Reading Club, and illustrated by R. Gregory Christie.
This story follows little Maya as she discovers the wonders of nighttime with her friendly shadows and grapples with a child’s worst enemy: bedtime. You can find this play in the Selig Family Black Box Theatre, running from February 24 to March 13.
This spring, let your little ones explore the wonders of growing your own food with the stage adaptation of In My Granny's Garden.
Based on the precious children’s book commissioned by the Alliance Theatre in partnership with the Mayor’s Summer Reading Club, written by Pearl Cleage and Zaron Burnett Jr., and illustrated by Radcliffe Bailey, this production is sure to leave the whole family hungry for some home-grown food.
This (adjective) show, once meant to open during the 2020/21 Season, has now planted roots on the Sifly Piazza starting March 31 through April 24.
