DID YOU KNOW...?
We have a community theater in historic Norcross! The Lionheart Theatre Company is kicking off its 2023 season by hosting a showcase of ten comedic ten-minute plays presented by Lionheart and friends from Live Arts Theatre, Main Street Theatre, Merely Players Presents, and OnStage Atlanta. "10-Minute Community Theatre Play Festival" returns this Friday, January 20 - Sunday, January 22! Tickets are $18 for adults and $16 for seniors/students/military. The performance will take place at Lionheart. Based on the popularity of this production, Lionheart recommends making ticket reservations online in advance.
