“Hooray for Hollyweird” @ Agatha’s
Grab your Oscar & hold on tight to your Golden Globes! Hollyweird's
biggest collection of wacko stars want to move Tinsel Town to Georgia,
but there's a psycho southern killer who has other plans! Just as
plans are finalized to move Hollyweird California to beautiful Butt-Head
Georgia, the mysterious Sweet Tea Strangler goes on another murderous
rampage. No one is safe with this sugary sweet assassin in town.
Can Atlanta Mayor Surley Frankly & California Govern-ator Arnold
Squat-some-later stop the Sweet Tea Strangler before he spoils the
big move? Probably not. I mean, come on, they're just politicians.
It's going to take a Super Cop to bring this villan to justice.
Let's just hope he arrives before the brightest stars in Hollyweird
are snuffed out. Russel Crowbar, Britney Spheres, Sloop Dogg, Jessica
Simpleton, Jim Scary, Jay Chin-o, Halle Barely and You are on the
guest list to appear. "Who will disappear?", is the question.
JOIN THE FUN AND FIND THE MURDERER!! IT MIGHT EVEN BE YOU! As always
at Agatha's, the audience participates in the action in the comic
murder mystery. Each night, the entire audience has a chance to
die laughing between 5 courses of dinner including hor d'oeuvres,
a choice of entree' and very cheap wine with the meal. Prices range
from $45.00 to $55.00 per person.

Echoes of Another Man @ Actor’s Express Theatre
Where in the body does the soul reside? Is our brain who we are,
or is it merely a piece of the puzzle? When a patient wakes from
an unprecedented brain transplant, he is bombarded by confusing
memories, emotions and sensations that seem like faded ghosts of
someone else’s past. Using elements of art, music, athletics
and medicine, the World Premiere of Echoes of Another Man is both
a scientific and existential tale about the ultimate identity crisis.

Grand Prize in the 2004 Driving Force national juried art competition,
co-sponsored by the VSA arts Home Office in Washington, D.C. and

style,” through rigorous independent study of classical techniques
and art history, supported by countless hours of work alone in her
studio. For more information, contact Ms. Jaehn (“Jane”)

8-1/2 x 11: Live & Uncensored @ Dad’s Garage
Dad's Garage builds on last year's hugely successful reinvention
of our annual festival this January with 8 1/2 new plays at the
cutting edge of American theatre. This time around playwrights from
across the country were invited to respond to the idea of "censorship."
They were given only one guarantee: Whatever they wrote would be
performed without edits based on content or theme. Now a company
of directors and actors bring you an exhilarating show unlike anything
you've seen. A strong word of caution: Anything goes. So strap yourself
in tight and get ready for a wild night!
