 The play takes place in

Atlanta, GA

in December 1939. Gone With The Wind is
having its world premiere and Hitler is invading Poland,
but Atlanta’s
elitist German Jews are much more concerned with who is going to Ballyhoo, the
social event of the season. Especially
concerned is the Freitag family: Bachelor Adolph (played by Gene Nesbitt), his widowed sister, Beulah
(Boo) Levy (played by Linda Nesbitt), and their also widowed sister-in-law,
Reba (played by Eve Blackwell). Boo is
determined to have her dreamy, unpopular daughter, Lala (played by Mary
Elizabeth Fulco), attend Ballyhoo believing it will be Lala’s last chance to
find a socially acceptable husband, especially a Louisiana Weil, Peachy,
(played by Daniel Bairley). Reba’s
daughter, Sunny (played by Alexandria Finnegan), falls for a new assistant of
her Uncle Adolph, Joe Farkas (played by John Gardner), who is a Yankee and “the
other kind” of Jew. The family gets
pulled apart and then mended together with plenty of comedy, romance and
revelations along the way. Events take
several unexpected turns as the characters face where they come from and are
forced to deal with who they really are.
