SUMMARY:The Last Night of Ballyhoo Play Reading in Memory of Myra Stark
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a reading of The Last Night of Ballyhoo by Alfred U
 hry performed by the MV Hebrew Center Play Readers\, in memory of Myra Sta
 rk.\nJoin Us on Zoom!\n\nRead more about the Winner of the 1997 Tony Award
 ® for Best Play below:\n\nTHE LAST NIGHT OF BALLYHOO takes place in Atlan
 ta\, Georgia\, in December of 1939. Gone with the Wind is having its world
  premiere\, and Hitler is invading Poland\, but Atlanta’s elitist German
  Jews are much more concerned with who is going to Ballyhoo\, the social e
 vent of the season. Especially concerned is the Freitag family: bachelor A
 dolph\; his widowed sister\, Beulah (Boo) Levy\; and their also widowed si
 ster-in-law\, Reba. Boo is determined to have her dreamy\, unpopular daugh
 ter\, Lala\, attend Ballyhoo\, believing it will be Lala’s last chance t
 o find a socially acceptable husband. Adolph brings his new assistant\, Jo
 e Farkas\, home for dinner. Joe is Brooklyn born and bred\, and furthermor
 e is of Eastern European heritage—several social rungs below the Freitag
 s\, in Beulah’s opinion. Lala\, however\, is charmed by Joe and she hint
 s broadly about being taken to Ballyhoo\, but he turns her down. This enra
 ges Boo\, and matters get worse when Joe falls for Lala’s cousin\, Reba
 ’s daughter\, Sunny\, home from Wellesley for Christmas vacation.\n\nWil
 l Boo succeed in snaring Peachy Weil\, a member of one of the finest Jewis
 h families in the South? Will Sunny and Joe avoid the land mines of prejud
 ice that stand in their way? Will Lala ever get to Ballyhoo? The family ge
 ts pulled apart and then mended together with plenty of comedy\, romance\,
  and revelations along the way. Events take several unexpected turns as th
 e characters face where they come from and are forced to deal with who the
 y really are.\n\nSummary courtesy of Dramatists Play Service
