The Enchanted Objects of Disney’s Beauty and the Beast. Cogsworth (Samuel Shurtleff) is the grandfather clock (far left).

Some thought he was crazy to quit his job and move to New York. Now Samuel Shurtleff is doing his second national tour in

DreamsChasing

“... What you see on the exterior, the first impression of someone, is not the genuine person. When we stop with the first impression and don’t even look to the heart of someone, we not only do that person a disservice, we do ourselves a disservice.”

— Samuel Shurtleff

Month after month, year after year, the touring versions of Broadway musicals move in and out of the Fox Theatre. It seems reasonable,

at any given performance, to imagine a few audience members watching with a what-if in their own minds.

Samuel Shurtleff finally faced his own what-if at age 48. He was a middle-school teacher in greater Houston until three years ago, then quit and moved to New York to find out if he had what it takes. He had no contacts, no job.

He rented a room and worked as a private tutor to make ends meet. He took an acting class. A fellow actor asked him to be a scene partner at an audition for an agent. They did something from Sam Shepard’s True West. The agent signed them both.

Now Shurtleff plays Cogsworth, head of the castle’s domestic staff (and stuck in the form of a grandfather clock) in this nation-al tour of Disney’s Beauty and the Beast. It’s his second tour as Cogsworth in the show inspired by a mid-18th-century French fairy tale.

Shurtleff made his New York theater debut in a show called Bard at the Bar, a mixed bag

of Shakespeare scenes, playing the foolish Bottom from A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Such roles suit him, he says of Bottom and Cogsworth.

“They’re both uptight. The comedy that comes from both of them is right in my wheelhouse.” Shurtleff has “a vintage Holly-wood comic character actor panache about him,” according to a Seattle reviewer.

“I love this show and this character,” Shurtleff says of Beast. “And what I really like is being part of a production that tries to show people that your dream is worth chasing.”

He also appreciates the musical’s central theme, “the overall idea that what you see on

the exterior, the first impression of someone, is not the genuine person. When we stop with the first impression and don’t even look to the heart of someone, we not only do that person a disservice, we do ourselves a disservice.”

What does he find trickiest about playing Cogsworth?

“It’s not the easiest costume to move around in,” he says with a laugh. “I have these very large pants that are squared off at the bottom. The top half of the material is so heavy it’s like I’m wearing five quilts. I’m a little clutzy to start with, so it’s challenging not to step on the bottom edge of the pants when they’re bouncing.”

In the scene before before the big “Be Our Guest” number, he must quickly run up and down stairs. “So far I haven’t fallen,” he says. “When I get through that bit, I always breathe a sigh of relief.”

This tour of Beast takes Shurtleff back to Houston, where friends and family will

see him as Cogsworth, including some “who thought I had lost my mind and told me I would fail miserably if I went to New York. They said I would return with my tail between my legs.”

They’ll see him with a swinging pendu-lum, but definitely no tail.

Shurtleff hasn’t done this alone. He describes his fiancee, Terri Gresham, as his “muse and cheerleader for the past six years.” The two, who became engaged recently, plan to marry in April when the tour visits Vegas.

“To quit my job and go to New York — I just wouldn’t have done it without her com-plete support and faith in me,” Shurtleff says. “She said, ‘You are going to make it, and you are going to be great.’ I needed that, needed to hear how much she believed in me.

“I absolutely wouldn’t be up there without Terri,” Shurtleff says. “That is 100 percent true, and I want her to know that. It’s kind of amazing. It makes my heart overflow.”

The legend of a beauty and her beast dates back to a French fairy tale first published in 1740. It has seen many alterations since then, including cartoons, a TV series and this musical.

love, faith, courage, and giving.

I WOULDN’T BE HERE WITHOUT GRADY.I DIDN’T KNOW WHAT WAS HAPPENING TO ME.

My body felt like lead. I couldn’t move. I didn’t

know I was having a stroke. The ambulance got

me to Grady. Thank God we have this world-class

facility right here in Atlanta – the Marcus Stroke

& Neuroscience Center. The doctor went into

the artery in my brain and sucked out the

blood clots. I mean how cool is that! Thank you,

my Grady heroes, for making me whole again.

HOWARD ASHMAN (Lyrics) conceived, wrote and directed Little Shop of Horrors, based on Roger Corman’s 1960s’ horror flick, with music by Alan Menken. Little Shop played for five years off-Broadway and continues to be produced to great acclaim in the United States and internationally. In 2003, Little Shop was revived on Broadway and, in 2007, it was revived on the West End. It is one of the most-produced shows in U.S. high schools. In 1986, Ashman wrote and directed the Broadway musical Smile, music by Marvin Hamlisch. Little appreciated at the time, Smile is now considered a lost gem of musical theater and is performed by high school students around the country. Ashman was pivotal in the renaissance of Disney animated musicals and in the development of Disney’s The Little Mermaid (producer and lyrics), Beauty and the Beast (executive producer and lyrics) and Aladdin (lyrics), all with music by Alan Menken. Ashman’s contributions to the revival of classic Disney were, perhaps, best expressed by the dedication to the movie Beauty and the Beast: “To our friend Howard, who gave a mermaid her voice and a beast his soul. He will be forever missed.” Ashman’s awards include two Oscars, two Golden Globes, four Grammys, a Drama Desk and a London Evening Standard. He died in 1991 at age 40 from complications of AIDS. Ashman Sings Ashman, a CD of his work, with never-before-heard demos, including those from Smile, is available from PS Classics. Ashman’s papers are in the permanent collection of the Library of Congress.

TIM RICE (Lyrics), (Sir Tim to you), has been writing lyrics for musical theater and related enterprises for more than 40 years, something he intended to do for a few months while waiting to become a pop star. The waiting has been extended, mainly because of the world’s failure to accept him as a rock god, but also because of the distracting success of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, Jesus Christ Superstar and Evita with Andrew Lloyd Webber; Aladdin, King David and Beauty and the Beast with Alan Menken; Chess with Bjorn Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson; and The Lion King and Aida with Elton John. He is known in England, his home country, for his love of cricket and as a tolerable radio and TV personality. He has won numerous awards along the way, including Oscars, Tonys and life-saving badges, but often for the wrong thing and often for simply turning up. He is at work on a musical play about Machiavelli and is plugging the recently released DVD and album of Chess in Concert featuring Josh Groban, Idina Menzel and Adam Pascal. More gripping info can be found on www.timrice.co.uk, but please don’t feel obliged to go there.

LINDA WOOLVERTON (Book). While working as a development executive at CBS, Woolverton wrote the young adult novels Star Wind and Running Before the Wind. After Houghton Mifflin published her books, she began to write full time, beginning with scripts

for animated TV shows. One of her novels caught the attention of a Disney executive, and she was hired to write the script for the animated feature Beauty and the Beast. The 1991 movie won the Golden Globe for best comedy/musical and became the first animated film nominated for the best picture Academy Award. Woolverton then wrote the screenplay for The Lion King and rewrote the script for Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey as well as writing for the animated feature Mulan. She adapted the script of Beauty and the Beast for Broadway and received a Tony Award nomination for best book of a musical in 1994. She won the Laurence Oliver Award for best new musical for Beauty and the Beast in the U.K. Beauty and the Beast ran from 1994 to 2007, becoming the eighth-longest running show in Broadway history. Woolverton also wrote the book for the Elton John-Tim Rice musical Aida, which ran for five years on Broadway. In 2008, she received a lifetime achievement award from the Writers Guild of America-Animation Writers Caucus for her work in the field. Woolverton’s script for Alice in Wonderland, directed by Tim Burton and starring Johnny Depp, was released in March 2010 and grossed more than $1 billion worldwide. Her screenplay for Disney’s Maleficent, starring Angelina Jolie, was released in May 2014 and became a worldwide success. She recently completed Through the Looking Glass for Disney, which is in production in the U.K., and is working on a TV pilot based on the Jean Auel novel The Clan of the Cave Bear.

ROB ROTH (Director) received a Tony nomination for his Broadway directing debut, Disney’s Beauty and the Beast, which went on to become the eighth-longest running show in Broadway history. Beauty has been performed all over the world, winning awards for Roth and the production itself, including the Olivier Award for best musical. Roth directed the inaugural production of the Elton John-Tim Rice musical Aida and the Broadway musical Lestat, based on Anne Rice’s Vampire Chronicles (score by Elton John and Bernie Taupin). He co-wrote the book and directed the musical The Opposite of Sex at the Williamstown Theatre Festival. In addition to his theater work, Roth directs rock concerts, having worked with such diverse artists as Kiss, Cyndi Lauper, Alice Cooper, the Dresden Dolls and guitar great Steve Miller. Roth is the executive producer of the movie Taken By Storm, about the life of legendary British artist Storm Thorgerson. He is the co-author of the coffee-table book The Art of Classic Rock, featuring more than 1,500 pieces from his collection of rock-and-roll graphics, the largest private collection of its kind in the world. Roth is married to noted psychologist Patrick Meade. They have homes in New York City and Long Island that they share with their two labs, Dash Rip Rock and Tag.

MATT WEST (Choreographer). After asking his parents for tap lessons nonstop for more than a year, West began class at age 8. His father said, the story goes, “Let’s find a class, enroll him and in a few weeks, it’ll be over and he will stop asking.” That was 48 years ago. Matt began working professionally at age 13, touring the United States as Peter Pan for the

Walt Disney Co. When he outgrew his tights, Disney sent him to NYC as a member of Disney’s Kids of the Kingdom, performing a summer gig at Radio City Music Hall. West went on to perform in many Broadway musicals, including A Chorus Line (Bobby), a character he re-created in the movie directed by Sir Richard Attenborough. For choreographing Disney’s first Broadway musical, Beauty and the Beast, West earned the Los Angeles Drama-Logue Award, plus London’s Olivier Award, and New York Drama Desk and Outer Critics Circle nominations. Beauty received the Olivier Award for best new musical in the U.K. West also choreographed the Broadway musicals Lestat, with music and lyrics by Elton John and Bernie Taupin, and Mimi le Duck starring the great Eartha Kitt. He choreographed the world premiere of Elton John and Tim Rice’s Aida, which had its world premiere at Alanta’s Alliance Theatre. Other favorites: Little Shop of Horrors, Buenos Aires; The Wanderer, Tokyo’s Parco Theatre; The Little Mermaid and Peter Pan for Disney Home Video; The Nutcracker for the Disney Channel; and The Spectacular Fantasmic at Tokyo’s Disney Sea. West is directing and choreographing the 2016 opening entertainment at Disneyland in Shanghai, “World of Color” for Disney’s California Adventure and the Broadway-bound musical Click. He dedicates this new Beauty to his mom and dad with the hope that they agree those tap lessons years ago were a good idea indeed.

MICHAEL KOSARIN (Music Supervisor/Incidental Music Arrangements) was the original music director/incidental music arranger of the Broadway production of Disney’s Beauty and the Beast more than 20 years ago and has collaborated with composer Alan Menken ever since.

ETIQUETTE

1. Please arrive early. Latecomers may not be seated until intermission.

2. Take care of personal needs (drinks of water or restroom) before the performance begins.

3. Please silence or turn off all electronic devices, including cell phones, beepers, and watch alarms. We encourage you to share your experience at the Fox via social media, but please refrain from doing so or texting during performances; the glow from your device is distracting.

4. Most shows do not allow photography of any kind. Flash photography inside the theatre is never allowed as it is a distraction to those around you and a danger to the performers.

5. The overture is part of the performance. Please cease talking at this point.

6. Dear Lovebirds, when you lean your heads together, you block the view of the people behind you. Please consider the people that will be seated behind you when choosing whether or not to wear a hat or what hair style you choose.

7. Please refrain from talking, humming, or singing along with the show, except when encouraged to do so by the artist or show.

8. Please wait for an appropriate moment to dig something out of your pocket or bag.

9. Go easy with the perfume and cologne, many people are highly allergic.

10. If you need assistance during the show, please go to your nearest volunteer usher. If additional assistance is needed the usher will get the appropriate person to further help you.

11. Yes, the parking lot gets busy and public transportation is tricky, but leaving while the show is in progress or before the actors have taken their final bows is discourteous. Wait until it is over and then exit with the rest of the audience.

ll work and no play makes for a dull love life.

Whether you’re in the mood for a fancy night out, a great burger or an-out-the way vibe, we have a suggestions or two for you. They come courtesy of some of Atlanta’s more successful taste-makers, peo-ple who work hard to keep their small businesses afloat but know the importance of an occasional romantic meal.

1. Burger timeWhen Bill Kaelin, an event marketing specialist and Geor-gia Voice opinion columnist, wants to unwind over food and drinks with his partner, Shawn, they let nature take its course. ”We love waking from our home near Piedmont Park to the Park Tavern to watch the sun set over the skyline,” Kaelin says. “It’s epic.”

we have a date-night spot for you By A. Scott Walton

“When I suggest something Indian or Ethiopian, I notice that concerned look on my wife’s face. But I know she’s going to proclaim it one of her favorites by night’s end.”

They also try to hit one or two new hot spots each month. A recent late-night favorite: Little Trouble in West Midtown (404.500.4737, facebook.com/littletroubleatl). It’s a place for hipsters who crave craft cocktails and light bites ($5-$15) of Asian fusion cuisine.

“You can always enjoy great conversations and amazing new music there,” Kaelin says.

Park Tavern, a pet-friendly cafe/bar, has expansive views of Piedmont Park and is good for drinks, burgers, salads and appe-tizers at about $10 each.

Park Tavern (500 10th St. N.E. 404.249.0001, parktavern.com).

2. Your share of tapasTo ease the pangs of competing with the best little-dress bou-

tiques in town, Squash Blossom owner Lisa Bailey Bobb strolls hand-in-hand with husband Kamau to nearby Decatur Square for adventurous wine and tapas tastings.

“We love our quick little getaways to the Iberian Pig after work,” Bobb says. “There’s some-thing soothing about the sharing menu. The atmosphere is cozy and the wine list is incredible. It just makes you want to cuddle up with someone special.”

Go for the towering front windows and low-hanging chandeliers plus al fresco dining on sidewalk tables. The emphasis is on Spanish cuisine, wines and cocktails. Small plates ($4-$15) are house specialties.

The Iberian Pig (121 Sycamore St., Decatur, 404.371.8800, theiberianpigatl.com).

3. Mmm, steakDan Mullis, who makes and markets his Southern Haberdash-er brand of small-batch pepper sauces by night and does custom clothing consultations by day, dines out with his wife, Deb, regularly and close to home.

The further away from the urban “see-and-be-seen” scene the better, Mullis says. “I prefer a quiet table for two. Tonight, for example, we’re going to Capers, right near our house in Ken-nesaw.”

Capers “elevates a meal to an event. When I suggest something Indian or Ethiopian, I notice that look of concern on my wife’s face at first. But I know she’s going to proclaim it one of her favorites by the night’s end.”

“We love our little getaways to the Iberian Pig (at left and below) after work,” entrepreneur Lisa Bailey Bobb says of the Decatur Square eatery. “There’s something soothing about the sharing menu. The atmosphere is cozy and the wine list is incredible. It just makes you want to cuddle up with someone special.”

TOP: The sashimi at Umi on Peachtree Road in Buckhead. ABOVE: Marketing specialist and Georgia Voice columnist Bill Kaelin (right) and his partner, Shawn, have their favorites, but they also try to hit one or two new spots every month.

Cobb County’s upper-crust folk huddle here for premium steak, pasta, seafood and special-ty desserts ($12-$25). The space is as broad, bright and casual as white-linen service gets.

Capers on Main Street (1635 Old 41 Hwy. N.W., Kennesaw, 678.594.7735, capersonmain.com).

4. It’s French to youLisa Rene LeClair, the Sassy Pie Hole blogger and co-author of the postpartum book It’s Actu-ally 10 Months, coaxes husband Ricky out of their West Mid-town home offices to the low-key northern edge of Buckhead for dinner on the porch at Anis.

“It’s perfect for anyone who enjoys an exquisite meal, with exceptional wine, but doesn’t have the time or budget to fly off to Europe” LeClair says. “My friends are incredible and fun to be around, but whenever we have an opportunity to go out by ourselves, my first choice is

the same: an intimate dinner as far away from everyone as we can get.”

Anis is set in an old cot-tage near pricey shopping and old-money neighborhoods. The food and wine are a nod to southern France. Plates ($9-$22) range from mussels and escargot to veal chops and duck confit.

Anis Cafe & Bistro (2974 Grandview Ave., Atlanta, 404.233.9889, anisbistro.com).

5. Cocktails, sushi, sushi, cocktailsFarshad Arshid — owner of the upscale sportswear empori-um Ponce Denim at Midtown’s Ponce City Market — embraces schmoozing as an occupational necessity.

“Being seen out isn’t so bad ev-ery once in a while,” he says. Espe-cially when he and his bride, Sandy, enjoy their date nights. He suggests Umi for dinner, with drinks at Himitsu next door beforehand.

delicacies,” he says, “is the perfect choice to set the mood.”

The elite meet here to sip sake and sample new twists on sushi. The menu doesn’t bother to list prices.

Try the Monkfish liver pate, seaweed salad and kobe beef rolls in a room adorned floor to ceiling with contrasting shades of polished wood.

Himitsu is an exclusive cocktail lounge that requires reservations, a key code for entry and an appetite for caviar. Both are co-owned by Arshid’s brother, the maverick mu-sic and fashion impresario, Farshid.

Umi (3050 Peachtree Road N.W., 404.841.0040, umiatlanta.com).

6. Primo pastaTo relieve the stress of curating her new lifestyle website, Patch of Earth, Travis Neighbor Ward treats husband Brian to senti-mental dinners at the Inman Park bistro where they first dated some

15 years ago.“I lived in Florence, Italy,

for five years when I was in my 20s,” Ward says, “and Sotto Sotto reminds me of that time. We love it so much that we had our big family dinner there after our wedding rehearsal.

“The dining room glows at night,” she says. “I really love hearing the subtle details of the meal playing out … the silverware clinking against the plates, and the murmured voices. It’s cozy, but you feel like you’re part of a collective experience.”

This indoor/outdoor venue crackles at night with conversa-tion and the busy flow of traffic from one trendy live-work-play enclave to another on the edge of downtown. Good for pasta dishes ($17-$19) and herb-infused filets of beef, fish and chicken ($19-$38).

Sotto Sotto (313 North High-land Ave. N.E., 404.523.6678, urestaurants.com).

CLOCKWISE, FROM TOP LEFT: Deb and Dan Mullis prefer quiet tables for two as far away from the urban see-and-be-seen scene as possible; cocktails are as important as the food at Decatur’s Iberian Pig; Pasta rules many a meal at Inman Park’s Sotto Sotto.

What to see in

ATLANTA THEATER:

Sondheim, Gunderson and …Any theater city in America would be proud to boast this lineup

of world premieres and Pulitzer Prize-winners By Kathy Janich

CH

Wit at Aurora Theatre in Lawrenceville: Longtime Atlanta actor Mary Lynn Owen learns about living while dying as the unyielding English professor Vivian Bearing.


If you like musicals — and if you’re seeing Beauty and the Beast — you probably do, you’ll probably want to steep

yourself in a few coming our way. Actor’s Express is in the middle

of its run of Sweeney Todd, often considered Sondheim’s masterwor, and his Into the Woods opens in March at Aurora Theatre.

The winter/spring lineup at metro theaters through May features four world premieres, two Pulitzer Prize winners and a double dose of Decatur-born, San Francisco-based playwright Lauren Gunderson, in addition to the estimable Mr. Sondheim.

We’ve put together a Top 10 list, for your consideration. Any theater city in America would be proud to boast such a lineup. These are the titles that made us sit up and take notice when announced. You’ll find them at Actor’s Express (2), the Alliance Theatre (2) and Aurora Theatre (3), with one each at 7 Stag-es, Synchronicity Theatre and Theatrical Oufit. Our list is in chronological order. What might yours look like?

‘WIT’Through Feb. 7 | Aurora The-atre. We haven’t seen this Pulitzer Prize-winning masterpiece by Atlanta educator Margaret Edson since the Alliance Theatre did it in 1999. It’s high time. Mary Lynn Owen (Aurora’s 4000 Miles, Theat-rical Outfit’s Dividing the Estate and many more) plays Vivian Bearing, a brilliant literature professor dying of ovarian cancer. Chris Kayser plays her chief oncologist and her fa-ther in this funny-sad drama about the importance of kindness and the harshness of modern medicine. Edson’s language is razor-sharp. Her story will break your heart and fill you with the beauty of life’s possibilities. PTlaloc Rivas directs. Details, tickets at auroratheatre.com.

‘SWEENEY TODD’Through Feb. 22 | Actor’s Express. The West Midtown playhouse continues an excellent season with this operatic musical. Kevin Harry (Murder Ballad, Au-rora’s Les Miserables) picks up the vengeful razor of Todd; Deborah Bowman (Serenbe Playhouse’s A Streetcar Named Desire) is Mrs. Lovett, his co-conspirator, chief encourager and purveyor of meat pies. Artistic director Freddie Ashley directs this murderous tale, subtitled The Demon Barber of Fleet Street. It is bloody, and bloody good, but may not be ev-eryone’s cup o’ tea. Details, tickets at actors-express.com.

‘DISGRACED’Through Feb. 14 | Alliance Theatre. A perfect play for our time. American playwright Ayad Akhtar’s explosive Pulitzer Prize-winning drama is the most-produced play in the nation this season, according to Amer-ican Theatre magazine. In it, a Pakistani-American lawyer learns that his wife and friends are less tolerant than he thought when, at a seemingly innocent dinner party, they show their true selves and the evening dissolves into ugliness and hate. The New York Times called Disgraced “terrific” and “turbulent.” The 4-year-old piece seems prescient now. It’s soon to be an HBO film, but see it here first. Artistic director Susan V. Booth directs. Details, tickets at alliancetheatre.org.

‘MOXIE’Through Feb. 21 | Theatrical Outfit. World premiere. This dra-ma by Atlanta playwrights Brian Kurlander and Lane Carlock was developed during the inaugural year of the Alliance Theatre’s Reiser Atlanta Artists Lab,, no small feat and no small achieve-ment. In it, a Marine in Afghan-

istan connects with his son by crafting a handmade book. As the unfinished book of Moxie travels around the world, all who touch it are sparked to add their personal stories, contributing to its mystical force. Carolyn Cook (Blackberry Winter) and Bobby Labartino lead a stellar 11-member cast. Atlantan Elisa Carlson directs. Details, tickets at theatricaloutfit.org.

‘I AND YOU’Through Feb. 21 | Aurora Theatre. This drama has proven to be the biggest hit yet for hometown girl Lauren Gunder-son — the subject of a recent Sunday New York Times profile. I and You won the 2014 Harold and Mimi Steinberg/American Theatre Critics Association New Play Award and was a finalist for the 2014 Susan Smith Blackburn Prize, which honors women playwrights. The story: The night

before a class assignment is due, Caroline and Anthony plumb the mysteries of a Whitman poem, unaware that a deeper mystery has brought them together. Expect an in-the-round set in the Harvel Lab. Aurora’s Jaclyn Hofmann directs. Details, tickets auroratheatre.com.

‘START DOWN’Feb. 13-March 6 | Alliance The-atre. World premiere. This year’s winner of the Alliance/Kendeda National Graduate Playwriting Competition, an event that has introduced such playwrights as Tarell Alvin McCraney, Mike Lew, Kenneth Lin and Meg Miroshnik to Atlanta audiences. This piece, by New York Univer-sity/Tisch School grad Eleanor Burgess, questions how we live, how we educate our children and our core values around technology. Jeremy B. Cohen, producing artistic director at the

Playwrights’ Center in Minne-apolis, directs. Also scheduled during “Kendeda Week”: four staged readings of plays by the runners-up. Details, tickets at alliancetheatre.org.

‘THE REVOLUTIONISTS’March 3-20 | 7 Stages. Plays about women. Plays about his-tory. Lauren Gunderson (Weird Sisters’ EMILIE: La Marquise du Châtelet Defends Her Life Tonight) excels at both. This piece trans-ports us to 1793 Paris during the French Revolution’s Reign of Terror, where four powerful and provocative real women — in-cluding Olympe de Gouge, Char-lotte Corday and Marie Antoi-nette — tackle gender inequality, racial tension and rising violent radicalism while facing the guillotine and writing a play of their own. Artistic director Heidi S. Howard directs. Details, tickets at 7stages.org.

‘INTO THE WOODS’March 10-April 17 | Aurora The-atre. Sondheim explores what hap-pens after “happily ever after” in a fractured fairy tale that includes Cinderella, Jack and his beanstalk, Little Red Riding Hood, a couple of wolves, Rapunzel, a baker and his wife, and, of course, a witch. As you might imagine with Sond-heim, these woods can get dark and twisty, so this award-winning musical (three 1988 Tonys, five Drama Desk awards) might not be appropriate or entertaining for all ages. Aurora’s Justin Anderson, one of our favorite directors, leads a 16-person cast. Details, tickets auroratheatre.com.

‘SERIAL BLACKFACE’April 2-24 | Actor’s Express. World premiere. Young playwright Janine Nabers, a Juilliard grad, sets her story in 1979 Atlanta, during the Atlanta Child Murders. The plot: A single mother copes

FROM LEFT: The 11-member cast of Moxie, getting its world premiere at Theatrical Outfit, includes Maria Rodriguez- Sage (from left), Bobby Labartino and Royce Mann.

with the disappearance of her son and deals with her troubled teenage daughter while ponder-ing the possibility of a new love. Serial Blackface won the 2014 Yale Drama Series competition for full-length, unpublished works. “Janine Nabers is an extraordinary writer,” said play-wright Marsha Norman (’night, Mother) when choosing her for the Yale prize. “The crackling dialogue and the unswerving honesty are beautiful to experi-ence.” Ashley again directs. Details, tickets at actors-express.com.

‘BEYOND REASONABLE DOUBT: THE TROY DAVIS STORY’April 8-May 1 | Synchronicity Theatre. A Synchronicity-com-missioned world premiere.

Atlanta playwright Lee Nowell has been working on this dra-ma, described as a “balanced investigation of diverse beliefs about race, justice and the death penalty” for four years. It features a burned-out activist who finds purpose in efforts to exonerate Troy Anthony Davis, convicted and executed for the 1989 murder of an off-duty police officer in Savannah; her exasperated corporate lawyer husband; and an experienced civil rights activist who clashes with her grandson in light of a trauma in their past. The two acts alternate — with Act 1 coming first one night and Act 2 the next. Discussions follow each performance. Producing artistic director Rachel May directs. Details, tickets at synchrotheatre.com.

Battle Up!

Battle Up!

Robert Battle has bided his time since becoming artistic leader of Alvin Ailey

American Dance Theater (here Feb. 10-14).This is his time.

By Julie Bookman

This is Robert Battle’s big moment.

Battle, only the third artistic director in Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater’s 58-year history, has taken his time making dramatic waves (although no less than The New York Times has said he’s “injected the company with new life”).

But now comes his big splash. The company, the nation’s first and most presti-gious repertory company rooted in African-American dance has, in fact, pegged 2016 as “The Year of Robert Battle.”

Two of his major works — Awakenings and No Longer Silent — will anchor Ailey performances during the com-pany’s 20-city North American tour. In keeping with tradition, the dancers will be in Atlanta during Cupid’s peak season,

partly because the company has a love affair with this town.

“It’s palpable, the close relationship we have with Atlanta” says Battle, 43. “It’s like going home in a way.”

That relationship has strengthened over the years — Ailey dancers have regularly led movement workshops in schools and offered other kinds of community outreach.

“There’s a call-and-re-sponse from Atlanta, letting us know they are out there in the house and that they appreciate us,” Battle says. “The passion we get is quite different from other cities.”

Awakenings is the first piece Battle has choreographed for the company since succeeding the regal Judith Jamison in 2011. It nods to his own rise, and cele-brates company founder Alvin Ailey (1931-1989), who rose from poverty in small-town Texas to help shape modern black dance. Ailey’s pulse is still vibrant throughout the company.

When Jamison retired, one of the first things Battle

did was visit the company’s archives to read interviews she did when Ailey died. “In every one she would evoke his name

or spirit in some way,” he says.It didn’t end there. “Even in her staff meetings,

she would always remind everybody — from marketing to arts and education to maintenance — she would talk about Alvin and say, ‘You must remember he’s the reason we are all here. We are not forgetting where we came from. We are always honoring that.’ ”

“ There’s a call-and-response from Atlanta, letting us know they are out there in the house and that they appreciate us. The passion we get is quite different from other cities.”

ROBERT BATTLE

Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater performs scenes from Robert Battle’s Awakenings.

ENCOREATLANTA.COM52

Awakenings, an 18-minute world premiere for 12 dancers, is something of a rite of passage. The central figure is trying to reach another plane of existence, and his community is inspiring him in the effort.

Battle hopes that this inaugural piece will “awaken something in all of us, some-thing that allows any of us to see more clearly, even for just a moment — like a crack in the Earth’s atmosphere.”

He created No Longer Silent, a 35-minute militaristic work, in 2007 for the Juilliard School and now sets it upon these dancers.

Silent was initially part of a concert of choreography set to forgotten scores by composers whose work the Nazis had banned. Battle drew upon photographic images of World War II to create the ballet that speaks to both oppression and the life of composer Erwin Schulhoff, who died in a concentration camp in 1942.

There is tension within both works, and to help create that “dancers need to experience something that makes them tip,” Battle says.

Silent features intricate patterns and “a lot of weaving through each other — and there’s no room for error,”

Battle says, or the dancers will collide. They may seem to be out of control, but don’t be fooled. It’s intentional.

It reminds him in a way of something the late poet Maya Angelou once said about her work: “Easy reading is damn hard writing.”

Away from the studio, Battle — who describes his leadership style as low-key — says cooking is a passion and a way to unwind.

“I like to observe and listen, to collect all the infor-mation I can before making a decision. But I also think I’m tough when I need to be.”

He’s always the cho-reographer, though, even when in the kitchen.

“I go online and look up every recipe within reason, and I follow the things that seem to make sense. If one recipe says ‘try peanut butter,’ I will think about that and maybe try it.

“But I like to consider every possible scenario. I enjoy the entire ritual: the shopping for ingredients, the bringing it all home, the chopping, the breaking it down, the transformation, the flavors marinating and deepening.”

It’s no surprise then when he says, “in some ways, it is like dance-making.” PA

The Fox Theatre invites you to walk like an Egyptian, or at least party like one, when you enter the Egyptian Ballroom, an intriguing setting for weddings and receptions, corporate events and association functions.

You’ll step back in time to the B.C. decades, when the pharoahs favored opulent splendor and mystique in their Middle Eastern palaces. The Egyptian Ballroom is lavishly decorated with sweeping columns and ornamentation.

Here are few details about it:

• The ballroom measures 6,840 square feet (that’s 90 feet by 76 feet).

• As an event space, it holds 800 guests standing and 480 for banquets.

• The space is now managed for private events through the “Affairs at the Fox,” program, a partnership struck last year by the Fox Theatre and Affairs to Remember Caterers.

• In the past decade, the room hosted more than 100 proms, contributing to memories for nearly 40,000 guests.

• The ballroom was designed, and served as, a banquet hall.

• The space officially became the Egyptian Ballroom in 1939, when it first became available to the public for special events.

• It’s named for its Egyptian décor.

• The ballroom has authentic hieroglyphics but not in a readable order (should you have the ability to read hieroglyphics).

• One column in the room remains unchanged by 1980s renovations, left to pay homage to the building’s past and present.

• The painting over the stage features the pharaoh Ramses II.

• The ballroom hosted Prince Charles at a 1977 event for Queen Elizabeth II’s silver jubilee.

• The room has hosted such notable acts as pop singers Tony Bennett and Michael Bublé; singer-songwriter Taylor Dayne; the 1970s’ funk band Earth, Wind & Fire; pop-rocker Glenn Frey; powerhouse vocalist Jennifer Holliday; the great Elton John; and the 1980s synth-funk band Midnight Star.

• The Fox Theatre and its facilities made the 50 best-wedding-venues list for 2015 in American Bride magazine.

• The ballroom can be seen on Fox Theatre tours, which generally take place on Monday, Thursday and Saturday.
