Disappointing, probably given the lack of support for Performing Arts in Atlanta. Went for every show in the 2014 season and liked 2 at the most. Bull Durham and another, which I've forgotten. Aside from the outside of the building, the theatre is pretty basic, and the vibe (audience, etc,) seemed extremely casual vs the more formal feel that other large cities (and even small cities,) maintain. I thought that it was respectfully appropriate to dress in formal attire when attending a performing arts venue and not munch on potato chips loudly.. its okay in Atlanta, though? 3 stars vs 2- the actors are talented and the front-line staff and volunteers are great, However, this review is not about the shows themselves, yet the overall operation of the Alliance theatre. And for a city the size of Atlanta, its disappointing.
