Performance Dates:

The Last Night of Ballyhoo is a warm, dramatic comedy set in Atlanta in 1939. Hitler is rising to power and Gone With The Wind is set to premiere. The Freitag clan, an upper class German-Jewish family, is preparing for Ballyhoo, a cotillion, which is the social event of the holiday season. As preparations are being made for this lavish event, an unexpected visitor arrives to cause the Freitag family to re-examine their Jewish beliefs and the identities that they have come to accept as their own. The play was written by Alfred Uhry (Driving Miss Daisy) and won the 1997 Tony Award for Best Play. 
Roles to be cast:

Adolf Freitag — A business man, late 40s. Adolf is a loving, kind, quiet soul. He is the only male figure in a household filled with women of outspoken, quirky personalities.

Boo Levy — Adolf's sister, a few years older. Boo is an unstoppable force. She voices her opinions with little regard as to their effect on others. Her main objective is to have her daughter Lala attend Ballyhoo and meet a future husband.

Lala Levy — Boo's daughter, 20s. Lala is a dreamer, somewhat immature for her age and just as opinionated as her mother. She is obsessed with the premiere of Gone With the Wind, as she sees herself as a future novelist.
 

Reba Freitag — Adolf's sister-in-law, middle 40s. Although Reba often appears oblivious to the family's on-goings and somewhat dingy, she is the voice of reason and truth. Her insights as to what is really going on is honest and objective. She is colorful and warm, just like the off-beat sweaters she loves to knit.

Sunny Freitag — Reba's daughter, 20s. Sunny is well educated but struggles with understanding and accepting her Jewish heritage. She is pretty and sharp and is many of the things Lala is not.

Joe Farkas — Adolf’s business assistant, 20s +. Joe is the unexpected visitor and the outside voice that causes the Frietag household to re-examine its Jewish identity. Joe is the intellectual match for Sunny.

Peachy Weil — A visitor from Lake Charles, 20s. Peachy is a well to do young man from a socially acceptable family and is a possible date for Lala and Ballyhoo. Peachy is full of surprises with his outspoken, silly prankster personality.
