James Hoge and Ashley Campbell star in GTA’s "She Loves Me."
This month, the Gainesville Theatre Alliance features the work of three theater professionals working alongside GTA’s college theater students on Lorraine Hansberry’s "A Raisin in the Sun," considered the play that "changed American theatre forever" by the New York Times. The play is part of GTA’s "triple-play" February Festival of Theatre, which brings three different plays to three north Georgia theaters, frequently running simultaneously between Feb. 12 and 23. "A Raisin in the Sun," directed for GTA by Equity actor, director and educator Victor Love, centers on the Younger family, a struggling African-American family living in 1950s south-side Chicago.
