Lost Your Way
This week’s question on City Cafe.

Starlight Six Flea Market
By night, the Starlight Six functions as Atlanta’s only Drive-In movie theater. But by day, every Saturday and Sunday, the huge lot turns into a giant flea market — one of the last true, old-fashioned open-air markets in Georgia.
Susan Mittleman took a recent trip down south Moreland Avenue to check it out.

NPR Wedding
There’s nothing uncommon about a summer wedding, but when Matt and Peggy Price tied the knot in late June, they infused their wedding with a very unique theme — National Public Radio. We talked with the couple just before they got married and also stopped by their reception to find out just what goes into an NPR themed wedding.

Blood Knot
South African playwright Athol Fugard premiered his fifth play, Blood Knot, with just a single performance in 1961. The show continued to be performed outside of apartheid-controlled South Africa, seeing a Broadway revival in 1986. In 1998, Tom Key and Kenny Leon—now artistic directors of Theatrical Outfit and True Colors Theater Company respectively—performed as brothers Zach and Morrie…and have now reunited under the direction of the Alliance’s artistic director Susan Booth.
All three recently got together in our studios for an in-depth conversation about Blood Knot and the larger themes at work within the show.
Blood Knot is playing now through August 2nd at Theatrical Outfit.

Davey The Bamboo Plant
Summer is a time for getting outside and enjoying sunshine. That’s especially true for those who enjoy gardening. Here at WABE, we also appreciate plants, well most of the time. A bamboo plant in the newsroom nicknamed Davey was clearly in need of some TLC, so WABE producers David Barasoain and Rose Scott decided to take the plant to Habersham Gardens, a local nursery. For some tips on caring for Bamboo plants, click here.
