About CLYDE'S: CLYDE’S is a sweet and salty new Broadway comedy from Pulitzer Prize winner Lynn Nottage (SWEAT & MJ THE MUSICAL). In the kitchen of a truck stop diner near Reading, PA, a group of formerly incarcerated cooks work together to get their shot at redemption. As their fiery boss cranks up the pressure, and a new staff member rocks the boat, they have to unite to fight back the only way they can: by making the perfect sandwich. A deeply felt drama & side-splitting comedy, CLYDE’S shows why Lynn Nottage is one of America’s greatest living playwrights.

About REMEMBER THIS: "REMEMBER THIS: The Lesson of Jan Karski" comes to Atlanta direct from an acclaimed off-Broadway and international run. This dazzling, tour de force solo performance tells the story of Jan Karski, a Polish diplomat and freedom fighter during WWII who battled his way across Europe to bring evidence of the Holocaust to Western governments. From the Warsaw ghetto to the Oval Office, this daring and incredible story explores how this self-described “insignificant little man” risked his life in an act of extraordinary moral courage. Starring Andrew Benator, star of last season’s hit comedy "The White Chip," you won’t want to miss this “soul-searing masterpiece” (Hudson Valley One).

About PASSING STRANGE: A soulful and electrifying Broadway musical, PASSING STRANGE takes us on an odyssey in search of identity, acceptance, and the “Real”. A young man discovers his musical calling and sets off for Europe, leaving behind his mother and comfortable suburban life. In his rebellion filled with sex, drugs, and rock ‘n’ roll, he yearns for something in life that he thinks can only be found in art. Bursting with energizing punk, blues, gospel, and jazz music, this Tony Award-winning musical radiates with humor and heart. PASSING STRANGE is by far “the freshest musical in town” (Wall Street Journal).

About TINY BEAUTIFUL THINGS: Based on the New York Times bestselling book by Cheryl Strayed (author of WILD) and adapted by Academy Award nominee Nia Vardalos (MY BIG FAT GREEK WEDDING), TINY BEAUTIFUL THINGS explores Strayed’s time as the anonymous, unpaid, advice columnist Dear Sugar. While strangers on the internet tell her their most personal secrets (which they are terrified to even share with their own families), Strayed weaves together her own personal experiences to create a column full of light, laughter, and humanity. TINY BEAUTIFUL THINGS is “A Theatrical Hug In Turbulent Times” (Variety).
