Event List
- Northeast Georgia MountainsTheater
Gainesville Theatre Alliance presents "Macbeth" by William Shakespeare, Feb. 14-22, at Brenau University's Hosch Theatre, inside the John S. Burd Center for the Performing Arts. The show is sponsored by the Gainesville Times.
Valiant Scottish general Macbeth meets three witches who predict he will become Thane of Cawdor and then King of Scotland, igniting in him a desire for power. As Macbeth and his wife seize power through a series of bloody deeds, they are led down a path of murder, madness and eventual ruin. Shakespeare’s timeless and compelling tragedy dramatizes the effects of political ambition on those who seek power. Recommended for ages 13+ for violence and dark psychological themes.
Gainesville Theatre Alliance is a one-of-a-kind, nationally-recognized collaboration between the University of North Georgia and Brenau University.
For tickets or more information, visit GainesvilleTheatreAlliance.org or call the GTA Box Office at (678) 717-3624.
- Classic SouthConcert
Southern Accents is six superlative musicians from Nashville's rich music scene who bring fans the Petty experience, not only performing his timeless hits with exacting reverence but even looking and acting the part.
At the helm is Petty doppelganger Ronnie Gregg, who sports the straw-colored locks and Mad Hatter haberdashery, not to mention the signature voice and funky moves. The band loves blockbuster hits but also exposes the audience to older rarities and obscure B-sides. A Southern Accents show will have audiences singing along and probably shedding a tear or two.
Doors open at 6:30 p.m. and the show begins at 7 p.m.
