Women overshadowed by men are no strangers to our history, and Emilie du Châtelet is no exception to the rule. Do you even know her name, her life, her longing? Here, in a cosmic struggle between love and philosophy, the Marquis stands to defend her own story.

By Neil Simon

Performances August 8-17, 2025
What do you get when an almost-murder mystery goes awry? You get Neil Simon’s classic Rumors. Filled with mistaken identities, hilarious injury, and plenty of poorly thought-out lies, and you get a hilarious farce that will have your sides splitting.

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.

The Icarus Monologues
Written and Directed by Libby Grace Garrett
Stories have been warped since time began. Twisted and turned into something they are not. The Icarus Monologues explores how stories have been twisted by their tellers, and history by its winners, through the medium of Greek gods and goddesses. Join this old cast of characters through a new lens, and journey into history (re)told.

Navigators
Navigators, Asia Meana’s adaptation of a short story by Mike Meginnis, tells the story of a trying period in the life of 10-year-old Mykah and her father, Dustin. Their mother and wife, respectively, has left. To keep themselves occupied, Mykah and Dustin are playing a game called Legend of Silence. The game is unlike most other games they’ve played in that the heroine, Alicia, diminishes rather than grows in power as the game progresses. Navigators features animation by Adam Mizell, choreography by Sarah Wildman, and an original score by Scott Hawkins.
