If you heard wonderful things about this virtual show, but didn’t get to see it, now is your chance!!
The marquee lights are off, theatre house is empty, and the ghost light is on. You are stuck at home as we are stuck at home. Everyone is bored. And even with our leaded glass doors locked, the Athens Theatre family is here to help break up the monotony. To help fill the void. To make a joyful noise!
On May 16th numerous Athens Theatre performers invite you to a second chance enjoy a night of entertainment (from the comfort of your home). With careful planning and the help of the wonderfully talented filmmakers at The Studio Creative Group, we have put together a video featuring solos, duets, and dance numbers.
We are proud to have one of our favorite hoofers, Nate Elliott (who has grown up on our stage, played Don Lockwood in Singin’ in the Rain, and who would have played our Bert in Mary Poppins), host this concert at our very own and very empty Athens Theatre.
Taking special precautions, setting appointments over a period of days, sanitizing between appointments, and paying special attention to social distancing protocols, The Studio Creative Group has captured the best from many of our best. You’ll see some old favorite numbers and some bucket-listers you’ve not seen on our stage before. This video will be available to you on (or after) May 16th at 7:30 pm, with the virtual ticket link available for purchase any time between now and then.
All funds raised by this event will help the Athens Theatre and The Studio Creative Group make it through their COVID-19 crisis closures. We thank you for your support and hope this fundraiser brings you happiness, because even in quarantine, we aim for the lesson learned in Spamalot–to “Always Look on the Bright Side of Life!”
