Last Night of Ballyhoo

Written by Alfred Uhry, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Driving Miss Daisy, whose earlier work includes Mystic Pizza, The Last Night of Ballyhoo is a bittersweet comedy set in Atlanta during the Christmas of 1939. Gone With the Wind is having its world premiere and Hitler is invading Poland. Meanwhile, The Jewish elite of Atlanta is more concerned with finding the best dates and dresses for Ballyhoo, the social event of the season. The arrival of a handsome young man from New York brings out hidden prejudices and forces the Freitag family to examine who they really are.
