Twinhead Theatre’s Night Gallery: The New Exhibit
The Village Theatre - 349 Decatur St. S.E., Suite L Atlanta, GA 30312 $10-$15. 8 p.m.
Inspired by Rod Serling’s “Night Gallery” cult TV series (1970-73), this anthological performance features five short plays, each based on a painting from local artists R. Land, Catlanta, Dusty Griffin, Kacie Rushton and Lauren P. Stumberg. Witches and cults, magpies and murder, a deal with the devil, an ancient evil and the end of the world itself are just the beginning. Each tale is more horrific and hilarious than the last, and each is as unique and electrifying as the paintings that inspired them. The evening features a silent auction for the five featured pieces, as well as an artists market before and after the show, where the five artists’ other works will be available for purchase. Directed by Eli Banks, Rob Bullard, Diana Brown, Ben Bowlin and Rebekah Suellau.
