mAAc at Just for Us ⏺️
2024-01-07 14:30 - 16:30 | Alliance Theater, Peachtree St NE, Atlanta, GA, 30309
Join the Mature Active Adult Community (mAAc) to see Just for Us! Expertly crafted by one of comedy's most distinctive voices, this singular theatrical experience is an exploration of identity and our collective capacity for empathy—and it's also "belly-laugh funny!" (The New York Times). In the wake of a string of anti-Semitic rhetoric pointed in his direction online, standup comic Edelman decides to go straight to the source; specifically, Queens, where he covertly attends a meeting of White Nationalists and comes face-to-face with the people behind the keyboards. What happens next forms the backbone of the shockingly relevant, utterly hilarious, and only moderately perspirant stories that comprise Just for Us.
The cost to attend is $20 per person for mAAc members, $25 per person for non-mAAc members, and $30 per person for non-AA, non-mAAc members. Registration is required (link below) by Thursday, December 21.
Parking is available in the Woodruff Arts Center parking garage, located on Arts Center Way (behind the Woodruff, between 15th and 16th Streets and W. Peachtree and Peachtree Streets). Parking is also available at these locations:

The Promenade building, located on 15th Street between W. Peachtree and Peachtree Streets
Colony Square, located at the intersection of 14th and Peachtree Streets
Midtown Plaza parking deck, located on Arts Center Way

You can purchase pre-paid parking ($20) in the Woodruff Arts Center Parking garage and have a guaranteed parking space.
