ATLANTA, GA – Actor’s Express has announced its 36th season, which will include two musicals, a world premiere, and two plays by well-loved playwrights with Atlanta connections. AE will also mount its third annual co-production with Oglethorpe University Theatre.
According to Artistic Director Freddie Ashley, “When selecting this season, Associate Artistic Director Amanda Washington and I wanted to curate an exciting blend of shows that would deliver the adventurous and exhilarating experiences that Actor’s Express audiences look for. Even among the familiar names that might pop up across the season, every production will offer something delightfully unexpected.”
