The Last Night of Ballyhoo
By Alfred Uhry
Directed by
Sabian Trout
Winner of the 1997 Tony Award for Best Play.
"Everything falls into place in this…winning new play…wonderfully crafted script." â€"Variety
You will laugh out loud, revel in the romance, and
enjoy the sincerity of this engaging Southern family!
The Last Night of Ballyhoo takes place in Atlanta, Georgia, in December of 1939. Gone with the Wind is having its world premiere, and Hitler is invading Poland, but Atlanta's elitist German Jews are much more concerned with who is going to Ballyhoo, the social event of the season. Especially concerned is the Freitag family: bachelor Adolph (Bill Epstein), his widowed sister, Boo Levy (Toni Press Coffman), and their also widowed sister-in-law, Reba (Peg Peterson). Boo is determined to have her dreamy, unpopular daughter, Lala (Megan Patno), attend Ballyhoo, believing it will be Lala's last chance to find a socially acceptable husband. Adolph brings his new assistant, Joe Farkas (Eric Schumacher), home for dinner. Lala is charmed by Joe and she hints broadly about being taken to Ballyhoo, but he turns her down. This enrages Boo, and matters get worse when Joe falls for Lala's cousin (Holli Henderson). The family gets pulled apart and then mended together as the characters face where they come from and are forced to deal with who they really are.
