Too close to the Sun

Join us for an evening of theatre for charity, featuring five original one-act plays created and performed by local Atlanta artists. 

All profits will be donated to the Davis Direction Foundation, a community organization based in Marietta, GA that fights opiate addiction and fuels recovery.

Too Close To The Sun is inspired by the Myth of Icarus. This production explores themes of recklessness, ignorance, and the defiance of expectations set on us all, for better or worse, and the consequences that follow.
