Set in December 1939 in Atlanta’s upper class German-Jewish community, Hitler has recently conquered Poland, Gone with the Wind is about to premiere, and Adolph Freitag, owner of the Dixie Bedding Company, his sister Boo, and sister-in-law Reba, along with nieces Lala and Sunny – a Jewish family so highly assimilated they have a Christmas tree in the front parlor – are looking forward to Ballyhoo, a lavish cotillion ball sponsored by their restrictive country club. Adolph’s employee, Joe Farkas, is an attractive eligible bachelor and an Eastern European Jew, familiar with prejudice but unable to fathom its existence within his own religious community. His presence prompts college student Sunny to examine bias between Jews of different upbringing, her lack of Jewish identity, and the beliefs with which she has been raised. Alfred Uhry is also the playwright of the beloved Driving Miss Daisy and the Tony Award-winning musical Parade.
