“Grits the Musical”
No, it’s not about your favorite dish on the Waffle House menu. This show tells the individual stories of four Girls Raised in the South during four different generations. Based on Deborah Ford’s novel “Friends Are Forevah,” the musical packs in a mention of most things Southern, from blues to banana pudding and sweet tea to country music, and uses the region’s culture to share each woman’s unique perspective. Advance ticket purchases are recommended.
8 p.m. July 29 and 30. $23-$27. Art Station, 5384 Manor Drive, Stone Mountain Village. 770-469-1105, artstation.org.
