Synchronicity Performance Group’s staging of Three Sisters plays tourist in Chekhov’s Russia and only rarely stumbles across the real thing. Director Rachel May and her ensemble fare fine with the kind of two-role exchanges in which emotional connections are either thrillingly made or tragically lost. But the more crowded moments, the kind that convey the playwright’s worldview and way of life,... | more...

In the comedy Red Herring, most jokes are hopelessly corny: “Do you know how to make a stiff drink?” “Feed him salty snacks.” At least they have the ring of authenticity, as the action takes place in 1952, and playwright Michael Hollinger offers a painstakingly crafted pastiche of a second-tier comedy from the era. The enthusiastic cast of the production at Theatre in the Square’s Alley Stage... | more...

Suppose you’re assembling one of Atlanta’s largest annual literary events for a respected suburban community group. Suppose you book a former TV star who’s now touring with his new photography collection. And suppose said star then gets embroiled in a minor controversy, when a similar group in another city unceremoniously cancels his appearance due to the photographs’ eroticism.

What then? Do...

Hodgson Photo Service, tucked into a 14th Street strip mall next to the Silver Skillet, is one of the quirkier venues for the multi-tentacled Atlanta Celebrates Photography event, now in its sweeping-up-the-confetti and pulling-down-the-streamers phase of its month-long photo-palooza.

Some of the work in Judy Kuniansky’s show On the Edge can veer into well-trod territory. Typical is a...

Blood-suckers and seed-spillers populate The Process Theatre Company’s double-bill of one-act plays, “Vampire Lesbians of Sodom” and “One Hand Clapping.” It’s not an evening for lofty themes or lavish production values, but the ensemble embraces the material with a fittingly irreverent sense of humor.

“Lesbians,” Charles Busch’s 1985 drag-fest, opens “in Bible times” and introduces an immortal...

We’ve learned to expect these ecstasy-and-Viagra mixed medications from the folks at the Zoetic Dance Ensemble. Last year they were dancing on the climbing walls at the Rock Club. This summer, Zoetic choreography taught mass murder a few new steps in the Dad’s Garage production of Carrie White: The Musical. And just a couple of weeks ago — I have this on good authority — they were... | more...

I once heard someone describe reading Chuck Palahniuk as thinking about the most shocking thing possible and having that be the next thing to happen. To be honest, though, one couldn’t possibly fathom the plot changes Palahniuk comes up with.

In Lullaby, the heir apparent to Bret Easton Ellis is back with the same style of “did he really write that?” fiction. With his latest effort, Palahniuk...

A 1970s sitcom could provide the premise of Lisa Schlesinger’s Manny and Chicken at the BP, having its world premiere at PushPush Theater. A white boy named Manny (Matt Stanton) and a black girl named Charlotte (Melodie Rodgers) unwillingly share a household when their single parents get hitched.

Instead of seeking humor and life lessons in the “Diff’rent Strokes” of the new family,...
