The Legacy Theatre has generated a lot of excitement as the first full
time professional theatre on the south side of Atlanta. For Executive
Producer Bethany Hayes Smith, the Legacy Theatre is the fulfillment of a life-long dream to start a theatre company. Along with her husband,
Mark Smith, Artistic Director, they are seeing that dream realized.
"We are committed to providing this area with excellent entertainment
and we are passionate about the theatre being an elegant theatrical
experience!" Bethany and Mark have a long list of professional credits
in theatre companies across the country. They moved to Georgia from
New York when Mark accepted a position to teach theatre and film at
Landmark Christian School. As professional actors and educators, the
Smiths also have a desire to train and nourish the next generation of
theatre performers and patrons. This is an excellent opportunity for
area schools to experience professional theatre in an intimate and
convenient location. Careful research and planning has gone into the
design of this beautiful new theatre located on Highway 74 in Tyrone.
The intimate theatre has 176 custom designed traditional theatre
stadium seats in a rich purple fabric with a velvet main curtain dyed
to match. The 50 foot stage is framed by a Hollywood designed 25 foot tall proscenium arch in an art deco design.
The Legacy Theatre stages five productions each year giving
opportunities for professional actors, technicians, directors and
choreographers from the Atlanta area and beyond to work.
Legacy Children's Theatre is a theatre for young audiences specializing
in shows that entertain as well as educate.

2007 - 2008 Season
The hilarious comedy about Texas' third smallest town, where the Lion's Club is too liberal and Patsy Cline never dies. The eclectic band of citizens that make up this town are portrayed by only two performers, making the satire on life in rural America even more delightful as they depict all of the inhabitants of Tuna-men, women, children and animals. Sept. 21-Oct. 14
This beloved American holiday classic comes to captivating life as a live 1940's radio broadcast. With the help of an ensemble that brings a few dozen characters to the stage, the story of idealistic George Bailey unfolds as he considers ending his life one fateful Christmas Eve. Nov. 23-Dec. 16 
More so than any composer and lyricist who have written for the stage, the songs of Rodgers & Hammerstein have become an integral part of our everyday lives. This stunning collection of compositions places five performers in a theatrical setting, offering the audience a glorious parade of genuine hits. Jan. 25-February 17
A feisty parolee follows her dreams to a small town in Wisconsin and finds a place for herself working at Hannah's Spitfire Grill. "An abundance of warmth, spirit and goodwill! Some of the most engaging and instantly infections melodies heard in an original musical in some time." USA Today April 18-May 11
Arnold Lobel's well-loved characters hop from page to the stage in this new musical that remains true to the spirit of the original stories as it follows two great friends, the cheerful and popular Frog and the rather grumpy Toad through four fun-filled seasons. A score that bubbles with melody and wit, it's jazzy upbeat sound is a perfect match for the hopping, crawling and flying denizens that inhabit Frog and Toad's world. June 26-July 13 (Thursdays-Sunday)Tickets for the Legacy Theatre 2007-2008 season are on sale now by calling the box office at (404) 895 - 1473 or by visiting the theatre located at 1175 Senoia Road in Tyrone.
