Romantics will want to experience Romeo and Juliet at The New American Shakespeare Tavern, February 14 through 25. Save your nap for later. There's a lot to do this afternoon. Now's the time to visit the Michael C. Carlos Museum at Emory University. The museum's 12,000-piece ancient art collection is the Southeast's largest.
Items come from ancient Egypt, Greece, Rome, the near East, and the ancient Americas.
Another of the city's jewels is Spivey Hall, located just 15 miles south of Atlanta at Clayton College and State University. Spivey Hall has performances every Sunday afternoon in February. Insider Tip Don't panic if you didn't buy your theater tickets ahead of time. Tickets are only sold on the day of the show, though matinees before 3 p.m. may be purchased one day in advance. The only drawback is you have to travel downtown in order to get your tickets.
