GCSS Community Events

by Eric Pudalov, Community Events Coordinator

Many of you working in the Disability Support Community have likely heard the name "Jerry's Habima Theatre." But for those who haven't, allow me to fill you in. Habima Theatre is, according to Atlanta JCC, "Georgia's only theatrical company directed and produced by professionals featuring actors (aged 18 and up) with developmental disabilities."

If there is anywhere to truly experience the remarkable achievements of adults with developmental disabilities, this is it. This coming year, Habima will be producing a revue entitled Disco Inferno, written by Justin Sepple, on March 24-28, at the Morris & Rae Frank Theatre (part of the MJCCA, Zaban Park).

An ad for Disco Inferno describes it as "Saturday Night Fever meets Damn Yankees in this romp through the 1970's." Among the classic song selection are such favorites as The Trammps' "Disco Inferno"; "Celebration," by Kool and the Gang; "Crocodile Rock" (as sung by Elton John); "I Will Survive" (as sung by Gloria Gaynor); and "Pop Muzik" (made popular by the British band M).

Tickets can be obtained through the MJCCA Box Office, at 678-812-4002. Please attend the show! You won't be disappointed.
