This is a true tragedy, where a cataclysmic wielding of the patriarchy wrecks havoc within a community. Jason is sidelining his wife Medea (the original princess who helped him gain the golden fleece in the popular myth) to marry a princess. Medea, in response, destroys the lives of those around her, leaving Corinth in a chariot of fire and destruction.

Alice Murphy is a no nonsense literary editor, but when she meets Billy Cane, a young soldier just home from World War II, the memories of her past resurface. The connection they share leads Alice on a path of self discovery that forever changes her life.
The Players have planned a special trip to the Alliance Theatre and we want you to join us! Town & Gown veteran, Tituss Burgess, has written his first musical and it’s making its world premier in Atlanta. Based on the 1996 film starring Whitney Houston and Denzel Washington, The Preacher’s Wife will feature Amber Riley (Glee, The Wiz Live!) and Loretta Devine (Grey’s Anatomy, Waiting to Exhale) and make its debut on the Coca-Cola Stage at the Alliance.
Town & Gown has procured a block of excellent seats in the center balcony for the matinee on Sunday, May 26th. To make this a fun and relaxing experience, we’ve also arranged for a pre-show brunch and transportation to and from the theatre. Our tentative schedule is:
11:00 am – Brunch in the Arcadia Garden at Town & Gown
12:00 pm – Board the motorcoach for the drive to Atlanta
1:45 pm – Arrive at the Alliance Theatre
2:30 pm – Curtain rises on The Preacher’s Wife
5:30 pm – Begin the return trip to Athens
7:00 pm – Arrive back at Town & Gown
The price per person is $140.00, which includes brunch, transportation, and your ticket to the show.
Tickets are VERY limited but we still have some great seats left. To reserve your spaces, please fill out this form: https://forms.gle/bgmGipzcUnHcTRjY6 Tickets will be distributed on a first come, first served basis. We must have your reservation request no later than Monday, May 20th.

Set during World War I, this raucous and beautiful musical tells the story of the U.S. Army’s first female telephone operators unit. Their service shattered barriers, saved lives, and paved the way for generations of women in the Armed Services. An ever-changing world is on the line–will you answer the call?
