Oklahoma City Repertory Theatre (CityRep) opens their Tenth Anniversary Season with the 1997 Tony Award-winning THE LAST NIGHT OF BALLYHOO by Alfred Uhry. This is the second play in what is called Mr. Uhry's Atlanta series. The first was DRIVING MISS DAISY, which CityRep produced in 2004.
THE LAST NIGHT OF BALLYHOO (by Alfred Uhry, author of DRIVING MISS DAISY) takes place in Atlanta, Georgia, in 1939. GONE WITH THE WIND is having its world premiere, and Hitler is invading Poland, but the Freitags of Atlanta are much more concerned with who is going to Ballyhoo, the social event of the season. The family gets pulled apart and then mended together with plenty of comedy, romance and revelations along the way. CityRep will partner with Theatre OCU for this production.Featured in the CityRep production is Jeanie Cooper as Boo Levy, Donald Jordan as Adolph Freitag, and Wendy Welch as Reba Freitag. Also appearing is Augusta Abene, Aaron Wertheim, Meghan Wagner and Dillon Horner. Miss Cooper last appeared with CityRep as Daisy in DRIVING MISS DAISY. Mr. Jordan is the CityRep Producing Artistic Director, and Miss Welch is an award-winning actress from the Dallas/Ft. Worth area.Are you an avid theatergoer?
