Tom Key will retire from the Atlanta theatre that he’s led since 1995.
The season will feature ‘Cambodian Rock Band’ and the world premiere of ‘F*ck7thGrade,’ with music by Jill Sobule.
After a career in Louisville, Rochester, and Massachusetts, the Arizona native will return to to lead the company that set him on his path.
For the first time in two decades, the company will present a production composed by Stephen Sondheim.
The anniversary season will include three world premieres, two plays by August Wilson, and Disney’s ‘Newsies.’
The lineup features plays by Heather Raffo, Lynn Nottage, Tennessee Williams, Karen Zacarías, and Robert Harling, among others.
Also in the lineup are a new play by Heidi Armbruster, as well as Noël Coward’s ‘Private Lives’ and Wendy MacLeod’s ‘Slow Food.’
The four plays were selected from a record 659 submissions, a 15 percent increase from the previous record set in 2018.
