Written
 by
 Gary
 W.
 Heath
 and
 directed
 by
 Atlanta
 native
 Allen
 Worthy,
 Life
 in
 the
 Park
 offers
 audiences
 an
 up‐close
 personal
 look
 into
 homelessness
 not
 seen
 in
 the
 typical
 representation
 of
 this
 all‐too‐possible
 condition.
 Heath
 has
 taken
 the
 situation
 of
 the
 two
 main
 characters
 and
 mixed
 it
 with
 music
 to
 expose
 the
 inner
 emotions 
of 
Humphrey,
 Constance 
and
 their 
acquaintances.


Taking 
place 
during 
one
 day,
 this
 story
 is
 of
 every
 man
 in
 any
 unexpected
 or
 unavoidable
 condition
 that
 could
 affect
 any
 individual
 in
 his
 or
 her
 lifetime.
 The
 show
 is
 highly
 theatrical
 even
 as
 it 
entertains
 with
remarkable 
musical 
numbers.

 


Life
 in
 the
 Park
 was
 showcased
 to
 the
 public
 in
 a
 professional
 staged
 reading
 under
 the
 Actors
 Equity
 Backers
 Audition
 Code
 at
 the
 famed
 Stella
 Adler
 Theatre
 in
 Hollywood, 
California 
with 
extremely
 positive
response 
from
 the
 audience.
 Director
 Worthy
 is
 thrilled
 to
 debut
 the
 production
 in
 front
 of
 an
 Atlanta
 audience.
 He
 graduated 
from 
North
 Atlanta 
High 
School 
Center 
for 
the 
Arts 
before 
moving 
to 
New
 York
 City
 to
 attend
 the
 American
 Academy
 of
 Dramatic
 Arts
 and
 pursue
 a
 career
 in
 theatre.
 Heath
 and
 Worthy
 previously
 partnered
 on
 Ginger
 and
 ME
 and

Following 
its
 Atlanta
 run,

in
 the
 Park 
will
 head
 to

Diego
 in

The Faster We Swim.........The More We Laugh............‏

“The Dixie Swim Club”
September 16th through September 26th, 2010
Presented by the Main Street Players

Five Southern women, whose friendships began years ago on their college swim team, set aside a long weekend every August to recharge those relationships.

Free from husbands, kids and jobs, they meet at the same beach cottage on North Carolina’s Outer Banks to catch up, laugh and meddle in each other’s lives.

“The Dixie Swim Club” spotlights four of those weekends. During the play, the audience is exposed to the women at four different stages of their lives that span 33 years --- first when the women are 44 and then reintroduces them at 48, 54, and 77.

Main Street Players, 115 North Hill Street, Griffin, brings this Southern comedy to the stage, weekends, September 16th --- September 26th, 2010; Thursdays-Saturdays @ 7:30PM and Sundays @ 3:00PM.

New, lower ticket prices for Main Street Players: $20 adults walk up price, $15 adults in advance if they reserve on the web, $12 senior tickets and $10 for student tickets with ID.

Groups of ten or more receive a 10% discount.

For tickets and other information, please call 770-229-9916 or visit www.mainstreetplayers.org

Main Street Players Presents The Best Christmas Pageant Ever

“The Best Christmas Pageant Ever”
Main Street Players.
115 North Hill Street, Griffin.
Weekends, December 11th through 20th
770-229-9916 or 770-233-0578

Everyone thinks the Pageant will be a disaster.

But they are pleasantly surprised.

When six menacing kids decide they want to be the leads in the annual Christmas pageant they bully the other kids into letting them steal the principal parts. Everyone is certain it will be a disaster.

The town reacts with horror to the news that the most sinful children will be playing the holiest roles; however, the pageant director is determined to make the annual musical event a success.

Although they look more like trick-or-treaters than Bible figures, the hooligans don’t ruin the pageant; instead, they improve it.

When the curtain finally goes up, a miracle happens and gives the nativity story a surprisingly sentimental ending --- making it the best Christmas pageant ever!

Barbara Robinson’s “The Best Christmas Pageant Ever” will be performed at the Main Street Theater, 115 North Hill Street, in historic downtown Griffin, Georgia, fifty miles south of Atlanta, weekends, December 11th through 20th: Fridays at 7:30PM, Saturdays at 3:00PM and 7:30PM and Sundays at 3:00PM.

In celebration of our ninth season, Main Street Players will offer a new Family Package at $50 for four tickets a 38% savings.

Regular Reserved Seat Tickets are $20. Senior Tickets are $15. Student Tickets are $10. Groups of ten or more receive a 10% discount. Enjoy a Teacher/Preacher Preview on Thursday, December 10th for $10 with ID or a toy for a child.

For tickets and information, call 770-229-9916 or 770-233-0578 or visit www.mainstreetplayers.org.

The Ingram Foundation, Griffin and Spalding County patrons as well as the Grassroots Arts Program of the Georgia Council for the Arts support the Main Street Players.
