DO MORE: Sally and Glen at the Palace
Running through August 8
Essential Theatre

“SALLY AND GLEN pays clever tribute to cinema’s glory days … a bittersweet, two-person memory play about the budding friendship between two college kids working night jobs at a one-screen cinema in the Deep South in 1973. It’s a rich setting and playwright Peter Hardy obviously knows the turf … SALLY AND GLEN is an ephemeral, delicate, touching play about missed opportunities … The play crackles with clever lines.”

Mark Hinson, Tallahassee Democrat

Atlanta's Essential Theatre Company would like to offer a 30% discount on tickets to Atlanta Film Festival 365 members for their production of the comedy-drama SALLY AND GLEN AT THE PALACE, a funny and touching play about two college students working together in the lobby of a movie theatre in 1973. It's full of the love of movies and the way they both illuminate and confuse the lives of two young people trying to find their way to growing up. It's about learning, damage, sex and healing. Winner of a Playwriting Award from the New Southern Theatre Festival, this is one of three plays running in repertory as part of the 2010 Essential Theatre Play Festival, performing 7 days a week through August 8 at Actor's Express, 887 W. Marietta Street, Atlanta, GA 30318. (Free parking!) For scheduling information visit www.EssentialTheatre.com.

Use the discount code FILM for a 30% discount on ticket prices. (This discount is only available online, not at the box office -- and besides, buying tickets online is always $2.00 cheaper than at the door anyway! And no service charges!)
