The Georgia Premiere of Gina Gionfriddos AFTER ASHLEY, the powerful story of a boy trying to find himself in the media circus following his mothers murder. First produced by the Humana Festival in Louisville, AFTER ASHLEY went on to a successful run in New York. Shrewd, dark comedy absorbing and wholly unpredictableAFTER ASHLEY is a work that virtually any audience would find accessible. NY Times. Sick, ugly, and brilliantly funnyand wise. In Gionfriddos plays, as in all great plays, no one is wrong, everyone is right. Brooklyn Rail.

The Essential Theatre entertains and challenges Georgia audiences with new plays that have not yet been produced in this area. We support Georgia artists by encouraging the creation of new dramatic literature and giving local actors, directors and designers the chance to work on exciting World Premieres and Regional Premieres. We invite you to celebrate the 10th Anniversary of Essential Theatre's Power Plays Festival.
