By combining his love for classical music and passion for West African culture, Jordan has crafted a program that explores the colors, sounds, and rhythms of musical cultures that have been lost in time to the West. Jordan will be joined by special guest, cellist Micah Taylor.

Our holiday tradition continues! Charles Dickens' immortal tale of the mean old miser Scrooge and his magical night discovering the true meaning of Christmas. Live on stage and starring Bryan Thompson as Ebenezer Scrooge.

Endorsed by Sir Paul McCartney, Yesterday is an incredible reproduction of the Fab Four! Complete with Beatles' boots, drainpipe trousers, costumes, and musical instruments, the show features many of the Beatles' greatest hits, like Twist & Shout, A Hard Day's Night, I Wanna Hold Your Hand, and, of course, Yesterday, played and sung by a cast of experienced and multitalented musicians.

Strauss’ operetta (translated as “The Bat”) is utterly farcical, focusing on mistaken identity, flirtation and a practical joke that has rather unforeseen consequences; but the utter accessibility – both musically and dramatically – make for a fun afternoon with Peach State Opera, Georgia’s premier touring opera company.

Katie Deal returns to the Ritz stage with a brand new show celebrating the life and legacy of country music great, Loretta Lynn.

In the spring of 1970, Henry “Dickie” Marrow, a 23-year-old U.S. Army veteran whose wife was pregnant with their third daughter, was beaten and shot to death by three men that were later acquitted of the crime by an all-white jury, despite testimony by two black eyewitnesses and one of the three accused confessing to shooting the gun. Based on Tim Tyson’s award winning memoir, this powerful one-man show is adapted and performed by Mike Wiley.

The Penguin Project ® was conceived to give children with special needs an opportunity to participate in the performing arts. The story follows fast-talking traveling salesman, Harold Hill, as he cons the people of River City, Iowa, into buying instruments and uniforms for a boys' band he vows to organize. The catch? He doesn't know a trombone from a treble clef!
