The Georgia Theatre Alliance will end its 35th season with a throwback to the roaring 1920s, when the parties were bigger, the shows were broader, the buildings were higher and the models were looser. GTA’s final show for the season will be the stage adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s wildly popular novel, “The Great Gatsby.” Performances will be at 7:30 p.m. April 7-11 and 14-18 and 2:30 p.m. April 12 and 18 at the University of North Georgia Gainesville campus in the Ed Cabell Theatre.
