It hasn’t taken long for Lloyd Suh’s drama The Heart Sellers to become one of the nation’s most produced plays — more than two dozen stagings have been scheduled across the country since a successful bow at Milwaukee Rep in 2023. It’s easy to see why Horizon Theatre was drawn to the project as well;…
Although the 25th annual Atlanta Jewish Film Festival (AJFF) took place way back in February, Executive and Artistic Director Kenny Blank knew he wanted to do something additional later in the year to cap such a significant season. Back in 2010, the Festival collaborated with the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra (ASO) on a concert with scores…
A decade ago, Danielle DeMatteo, the artistic director of SheNYC Arts, was in New York, working a lot of different positions in the Broadway and off-Broadway scene, and met other young women who were doing the same. Through sharing their stories, the women learned that many of them had similar experiences about what was essentially…
At a time when the organization is preparing for its upcoming new season, the DeKalb Symphony Orchestra (DSO) is navigating a challenging period of change following the dismissal of some of its members.

Now he hosts his own here in Atlanta: Lavender Fest, which opens next week with five nights…
Michael Hardwick never envisioned himself as an activist or a public figure, but, by fate, he became one. Although he’s known widely as being at the epicenter of one of the most substantial gay rights cases of all time, few know much about the man outside of the court case. Author Martin Padgett wanted to…
Exactly who Emilia Bassano was has long been disputed, but there’s no mistaking that she is the thoroughly intriguing center of the new play The Dark Lady, making its U.S. premiere at Synchronicity Theatre. Written by Jessica B. Hill and directed here by Alexis Kulani Woodard, The Dark Lady closes out Synchronicity’s 27th season and…
ArtsXchange Executive Director Alice Lovelace knew she wanted to stage a film festival this season, but she didn’t quite know how to proceed with it.
