"A Walk in the Woods" at Serenbe Playhouse
|
 |
|
|
|
Can major change happen with a simple walk in the woods? That's the question asked in "A Walk in the Woods" at Serenbe Playhouse, in which two superpower arms negotiators — a Russian and an American — meet in the woods of Geneva to negotiate nuclear disarmament. Lee Blessing's 1987 drama was nominated for the Pulitzer Prize. As is always the case at Serenbe, this show will be performed outdoors.

"Armando" at Village Theatre
|
|
|
|
|
Meet "Armando," the name of Village Theatre's regular Friday night improv show. Each week a different regular person — broadcasters, actors, real estate agents — tell real stories that inspire the improvisation. Guests have included Souper Jenny, CNN's Holly Firfer and Atlanta Braves organist Matthew Kaminski. Shows start at 8:30 p.m. and the theater is on Decatur Street near downtown Atlanta. The improv hotspot got its name because its improvisers come from all walks of life — and "People From All Walks of Life Theatre," they say, wasn't jazzy enough. This deal includes two tickets and a $20 gift card to a PoshDealz restaurant partner.
