the Bamboozling Book Machine," southsiders from

Fayette, Coweta and Clayton counties will light up the

stage.

and Melanie DeVries will take on the technical

responsibilities of running sound and stage managing.

The show

plays Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m. and Sundays at 3

Arts Month, the opening night performance features a

special ticket deal: one child (16 and
