“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.

PORTRAITS and FIGURES: The Work of Sunaura Taylor @ VSA Arts of
Georgia
Ms. Taylor, a nationally known artist, was recently awarded the
Grand Prize in the 2004 Driving Force national juried art competition,
co-sponsored by the VSA arts Home Office in Washington, D.C. and
Volkswagen of America. The 22-year-old Taylor (known as “Sunny”)
was inspired to paint by her mother, also a painter, at the age
of 12. Sunny was home-schooled as a child in Athens, GA, and is
a self-taught artist who taught herself to paint “old master
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!
