The world’s longest running musical comes to the Athens’ stage with its familiar story of parental failure to control grown children’s lives (“Plant a radish, get a radish, not a sauerkraut”) and of the tortuous extremes that the young must explore to find their ways out of fantastic dreams and into the reality they truly desire (“Try to Remember”).
We are elated to be offering this “fantastick” show not only live and in-person inside our historic Athens Theatre, but audiences who wish to see the show and support us from home, now have the option of streaming this production!

Holidays Go Plaid at the Athens Theatre
In the historic Athens Theatre’s safely sanitized but cozy surroundings, nestle your family into an intimate little group to take in this year’s festive holiday offering at the Athens: Stuart Ross’s musical silliness, Plaid Tidings.
Inspired by the “heavenly” Rosemary Clooney, familiar goofily comic characters from Forever Plaid return to earth and transform today’s dissonance and discord into mellifluous harmonies—sounds and songs appropriate to a season of brotherhood and joy.
Chortle and hum along to their version of an Ed Sullivan variety show featuring The Chipmunks, The Vienna Boy’s Choir, and The Rockettes—all of it “Plaid” style–as we are entertained by amusingly altered favorites highlighted by “White Christmas,” “The Carol of the Belles,” “Twas the Nite B4,” “I’ll be Home for Christmas,” and a hilarious calypso tune with “in excelsis da-a-ay-o” serving as a refrain.
This is a show for holiday theater goers of all ages.

Music and Lyrics by Björn Ulvaeus & Benny Andersson, Book by Catherine Johnson
Abba’s tunes keep toes tapping as Sophie’s wedding plans materialize along with her plot to figure out just which one of her mother Donna’s three former lovers is her biological father by inviting all of them to the celebration. Sing along to the wedding preparations and the gathering of old friends and ex-lovers in this pre-DNA paternity search in which love conquers everybody. Hits which will have you humming along include “Dancing Queen,” Money, Money, Money,” and (of course) “Mamma Mia!”
