SUMMARY:Grimm Night - Grim Tales: An Eerie Happy Hour of Unhappy Endings
DESCRIPTION:On February 9 through March 2\, PushPush Arts Theater and Goethe-Zentrum Atlanta present the premiere of “Grimm Night – Grim Tales”\, an eerie happy hour of unhappy endings and grotesquerie\, a tragic comedy inspired by 18 unknown tales of the world-famous Brothers Grimm\, the writers behind such popular fairy tales like Cinderella\, Snow White\, and many others.

SUMMARY:The Atlanta Opera presents 'A Midsummer  Night's Dream'
DESCRIPTION:Lovers\, Lunatics\, and Magic! Mismatched lovers\, magic gone askew\, immortals toying with the lives of the mortals\, and the pompous asses are not always who you think they are. A Midsummer Night’s Dream\, an opera by Benjamin Britten\, invites you in for a fantastical comedy of a glam-rock ethereal fairy world intersecting with the locals while the hilarious rustics bumble through a play-within-a-play at their Duke’s wedding. The ultimate blitz of musical joy! \n\n\n\n21st-century technology wraps around the simplicity of Shakespeare’s Globe Theater to stage a world hovering between fantasy and reality. This brand-new production will light up your imagination. \n\n\n\nTHE ATLANTA OPERA’s production of  Benjamin Britten’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream features the company debut of Grammy-winning countertenor Iestyn Davies as Oberon\, King of the Fairies.

His counterpart\, Tytania\, Queen of the Fairies\, will be sung by soprano Liv Redpath who is described as “radiant” and “breathtaking.” A trio of Atlanta Opera favorites are also featured: mezzo-soprano Megan Marino and bass Kevin Burdette\, both of whom performed as members of The Atlanta Opera’s Company Players at the height of the pandemic\, perform the roles of Puck and Bottom\, respectively\, and soprano Susanne Burgess\, most recently seen as Mabel in Pirates of Penzance\, sings Helena.

SUMMARY:Meet the Author & Book Presentation: Reiner Lomb "Aspire"
DESCRIPTION:Meet the author Reiner Lomb\, transformational change leader and executive coach: \n\n\n\nIn his new book\, Reiner Lomb writes\, “Many of my own experiences have inspired the creation of ASPIRE. Yet one stands out above all others as an illustration of the power of emotions in leading change…It’s November 9\, 1989\, and I am on vacation in Cuba. It is already late and I’m trying to sleep\, but the sound of cheering outside my hotel room keeps me awake. I get up and open the door to ask the noisemakers to be quiet\, but before I’m able to speak\, a man shouts at me\, “Die Mauer ist gefallen!” (“The Wall came down!”) I shake my head\, thinking\, “How drunk must he be that he believes the Wall has come down?” I go back to bed\, not believing what I have heard.” \n\n\n\nHow a small group of committed leaders peacefully brought down the Berlin Wall by mobilizing millions of people is one of many of the stories Reiner Lomb shares in Aspire to show the power of emotions in creating positive change. \n\n\n\nIncluded is the story of Anke Jahn\, who grew up behind the Iron Curtain in East Germany. At the age of 18\, just three months before the Berlin Wall came down\, she and her best friend escaped. Join us for an exciting evening with Reiner Lomb and Anke Jahn and learn the seven essential emotions for leading positive change\, no matter where you are. \n\n\n\nThe program is in English.The discussion is lead by our executive director Oliver Gorf and occasionally highlight German vocabulary for additional\, deep insights. \n\n\n\nDoors open at 6:30PM – come mingle.The official program begins at 7:00PM. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister
