TG Received 11 Drama Desk noms!

The energy in the TG office went up a few hundred joules (<— yes, we made a science-y reference) this morning following the announcement of Drama Desk Award nominees.  Now, we’d hate to toot our own horn (again), but… check out the exciting categories Hello Again and See Rock City & Other Destinations have been nominated for!

We’d also like to say a huge THANK YOU to everyone who came out to see these productions, and a giant congrats to everyone involved! Clearly we would not be doing little dances today if it weren’t for our fabulous audiences and staff.

LYSISTRATA JONES first read-through

First up: so you’ve heard that TG is presenting this hilarious new musical by Douglas Carter Beane & Lewis Flinn -Lysistrata Jones.  Well, we will be posting behind-the-scenes pics, videos & more to give you the exclusive scoop on Lyssie, her hunky bf Mick & the whole Athens U gang.

Here’s a peek at the full cast, along with the creative team, gathered for the first official read/sing through.  We grabbed some shots for your viewing pleasure.

Here’s Lyssie: She’s not as innocent as she looks.
