The Atlanta City Theatre, Georgia State’s student-run theatre group, partnered with OutFront Theatre for a collaborative production of “Xanadu.” For three weeks, Georgia State students understudied the professional cast. In the fourth week, they took over the stage, closing out the run as the main performers. Working hand-in-hand brought our students the chance to learn directly from the pros. Actors and crew built relationships with each other and strengthened their own resumes with professional experience. After 18 months of darkened stages, the lights are back on for Atlanta City Theatre.
