The Jewish Theatre of the South’s world premiere of “The Left Hand Singing” marked a moving return to form for BARBARA LEBOW, one of Atlanta’s most celebrated playwrights.

Now is not just the obvious time to salute the triumphs of Margaret Edson and her play Wit, which last year won the Pulitzer Prize and this spring saw a superb, if star-crossed, production at the Alliance Studio. This also might be the only time for honoring Edson, as the Midtown resident has no plans to write any more plays in the future.
