Performing arts program for Cobb Energy Centre
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre is poised to announce a performing arts series in partnership with the folks behind Broadway Across America-Atlanta, which presents mostly musicals at the Fox Theatre.
Details will be announced Wednesday at a 10 a.m. news conference. Stephanie Parker, who runs Broadway Across America-Atlanta, will bring the series to the Cobb venue. But the Cobb endeavor won’t operate under the name Broadway Across America-Atlanta. A new moniker will be announced Wednesday.
Publicists for both partners are being tight-lipped about the “brand new performing arts venture” — saying they won’t release programming information until Wednesday morning. The 2,750-seat Cobb venue, which opened last fall at a cost of $145 million, is clearly seizing the moment to promote its new endeavor.
It will be interesting to see what’s in store for Cobb — and how it compliments the overall picture for performing arts in Atlanta. Whereas Broadway Across America-Atlanta mostly sticks to musical theater at the 4,518-seat Fox, there’s a good chance the new partnership will present plays or other material suited to the intimately proportioned Cobb theater.
Stay tuned for updates on Wednesday morning.
