Abbie’s Irish Rose — March 11-20 (Underground Theatre’s 40th Season!)

In this hilarious comedy with a Romeo and Juliet twist, Solomon can’t wait for the wedding when his son Abie brings home a nice Jewish girl. But wait! There’s a catch: “Rosie Murpheski” is really Rose Mary Murphy, a nice Irish Catholic girl, and she and Abie are already secretly married. When Solomon and Rose Mary’s dad Patrick discover the truth, all hell breaks loose as they try to break up the pair. After much mayhem, it takes two men of the cloth to patch things up.

Abie’s Irish Rose was the longest-running Broadway show of its time, totaling 2,327 performances over five years.

Come celebrate our gala 40th season with director Dante Santecroce and the cast: Fu’ad Ashkar (in his 30th performance with The Underground), Bruce Goldberg, Sondra Ilgenfritz, Jimmy Johnson, Vic Lambert, Larkin McCord, Dan Van Hiel and Bob Winstead. Thursdays – Saturdays, March 11- 20, 8:10 p.m.

Policy Governance Workshop with Miriam Carver — May 1

How do boards “focus on the larger issues, to delegate with clarity, to control management’s job without meddling, to rigorously evaluate the accomplishment of the organization; to truly lead its organization”? (From carvergovernance.com.) Thanks to a generous grant from the Unitarian Universalist Endowment Fund, the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Atlanta is organizing this event for its Board of Trustees, the Mid-South District, and UU policy-governance congregations.

This event is being held at the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Gwinnet, and UUCA and UUCG congregants can attend the breakfast, lunch, and workshop for no cost. A $50 fee for nonmembers includes registration, materials, lunch, and chidlcare. A continental breakfast will be served at 8:00, and the event runs from 8:30 to 4:30. Please register online.
