This romantic comedy takes place in Atlanta, Georgia, in December of
1939. "Gone with the wind" is having its world premiere and
Hitler is invading Poland, but Atlanta's elitist German Jews are more
concerned with who is going to Ballyhoo, the social event of the season.
Adolph lives with his widowed sister Boo and their widowed sister-in-law
Reba. Boo is determined to have her unpopular daughter Lala attend Ballyhoo
since she believes this is Lala's last chance to find a husband. Lala
falls for Adolph's assistant Joe but is turned down by him when she
invites him to Ballyhoo. Joe then falls for Lala's cousin Sunny. Boo
then tries to snare Peachy, the son of a prominent Atlanta family, for
Lala. The family get pulled apart and mended together with pleanty of
comedy, romance and revelations along the way. Events take several unexpected
turns as the characters face where they come from and are forced to
deal with who they really are.
The show lasts
approximately two hours and five minutes, including a fifteen minute
intermission.
