Play: The Last Night of Ballyhoo

Synopsis: The Last Night of Ballyhoo takes audiences back to the winter of 1939. Germany has just subjugated Poland and the eyes of the world are on Europe as the rest of the continent is prepares for war. And in Atlanta, Gone with the Wind is having its world premiere. But the big news among the city’s elite German Jewish community is who is and who is not attending the social event of the season, Ballyhoo.
