UWGB Theatre production. Playwright Alfred Uhry certainly knows how to tell a story, and UWGB's company certainly knows how to follow his lead and that of faculty director John Mariano.
Performances are well-defined all around.
Designed by Jeffrey Entwistle of the faculty, it's a recreation of a well-heeled household of the 1930s, down to the patterned wood floors and stained glass windows. Twenty-eight students are listed as carpenters, with another 10 as electricians and 13 as scenic artists. Two weekends of performances started Friday in the University Theatre. There are ample chances to catch this fine production. The play tells of a family in 1939 Atlanta, Ga., around Christmastime.
