2023-2024 Season

Discover the captivating, untold story of Atlanta's courageous black laundresses who defied oppression and ignited a movement. Just weeks before the International Cotton Exposition swept into the city, these bold women took a stand, demanding the right to set their own wages. The Atlanta Washerwomen's Strike of 1881 marked a pivotal moment in history, showcasing one of the largest interracial labor strikes post-Civil War. 'The Wash' invites you to delve into the intimate and often humorous journey of these ordinary women turned extraordinary fighters who fought the system and won.

A personal narrative that unravels the coming-of-age story of the artist's mother.

Young Minli lives with her parents near Fruitless Mountain, surviving on the meager fare they can produce. Inspired by the rich tales her father tells (and by magical goldfish), Minli determines she will find the Old Man of the Moon who, it is said, knows the secret of good fortune. On her quest she encounters royalty, dragons, and several more stories, from which she learns what true good fortune really is. Based on the 2010 Newbery Honors book, this “fantasy crossed with Chinese folklore,” is a beautifully-told Wizard of Oz riff with a huge heart.

Age recommendation: 5+. This play has a couple of small moments of peril. It is highly theatrical, and incorporates puppets, dance, masks, and more.

Run time: An hour and 30 minutes with a 15-minute intermission

"Laughing through tears at the absurdity and breathtaking beauty of it all."

Everyone’s favorite vain and haughty china rabbit is back on the Synchronicity stage - for one-week only before going on tour! His vest is buttoned tight and his gold pocket watch is set, and he doesn’t need anyone.

Or so he thinks. Before he knows it, he will battle the high seas, pass through the hands of a fisherman, befriend a happy hobo, and comfort a sick child on his not-so-planned adventure to find his way home.

Based on Kate DiCamillo’s award-winning novel, and adapted by Dwayne Hartford, The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane embarks on an unexpected magical journey to discover the transformative powers of love.

Everything is perfect for Judy and Johnny - the house is tidy, food is on the table, and Judy’s dress is perfectly pressed when she greets Johnny at the door, martini in hand.

It is the 1950s and life is ordered just right.

Or is it? Quickly the edges of this perfect life start to unravel, and things are not quite what they seem. Gender roles, relationships, and more are examined, explored and exploded in this dark comedy about sex, cake and the quest to be the perfect 1950s couple.
