*World Premiere*
Book, Lyrics, and DIrection by Derek Adams
Music and Music Direction by Jonathan Sparks

Performances December 6-15, 2024

Everyone dreams of attending a school for wizards. But what if you made it in and just…weren’t very good at magic? Winter is damaged, determined, haunted, and terrible at making friends. Can she figure it all out in one single night and make a spell that will put her on the map? Or at least keep her from utter embarrassment???

Performances February 7-16, 2025

“Some say that as we grow up we become different people at different ages, but I don’t believe this. I think we remain the same throughout, merely passing in these years from one room to another, but always in the same house. If we unlock the rooms of the far past, we can look in and see ourselves beginning to become you and me.” Sarah Ruhl’s endearing look at siblings being called back to their own Neverland 50 years later, as they face their own inevitable aging, the death of their father, and the dreamy allure of never growing up.

By Neil Simon
Directed by Vivi Guerra

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.
