<h3>DISGRACED</h3>
<h5>BY AYAD AKHTAR</h5>
<h5>DIRECTED BY: JOANIE MCELROY</h5>
In Ayad Akhtar’s Pulitzer Prize-winning drama Disgraced, a successful Pakistani-American attorney, Amir Kapoor, seems to have it all—career, culture, and a picture-perfect life in Manhattan with his artist wife, Emily. But during a dinner party with colleagues, a conversation about religion, identity, and politics begins to unravel everything Amir thought he knew about himself and his place in the world.

As tensions rise and truths are revealed, the evening takes a sharp turn—exposing deep prejudices, personal betrayals, and the cost of assimilation. Disgraced is a gripping, thought-provoking exploration of race, faith, and the complicated layers of modern identity in post-9/11 America.
Timely, tense, and unflinching, this explosive drama challenges audiences to confront uncomfortable questions with honesty and empathy.

***FOR MATURE AUDIENCES***

Running time 90 minutes; no intermission

Main Street Theatre's production of “Shakespeare in Hollywood” by Ken Ludwig blends Shakespearean fantasy and comedy with a fictionalized account of an actual motion picture production. The year is 1934, and Warner Brothers Studio is filming an adaptation of “A Midsummer Night’s Dream.” Two fictional characters from Shakespeare’s script, Oberon and Puck, transcend time and space to magically appear on set. They interact with the movie’s famous human stars and end up being cast to play themselves in the film. Aided by a powerful "love flower" from their magical forest, Oberon and Puck upend film production with romantic entanglements, chaos and confusion with unpredictable comedic results.

Realty Associates of Atlanta 

Dear future clients, I am writing to share my updated professional bio, which highlights my unique background and dedication to the Atlanta real estate market. With a career rooted in a deep-seated passion for helping others, I bring a unique perspective to the Atlanta real estate market. My journey in the industry began during the challenging years of 2007-2009, where I gained invaluable experience helping clients navigate the complexities of buying and selling homes during a pivotal time in the market. After stepping away to dedicate myself to a career as a Registered Nurse, I have officially returned to the industry and became licensed again in 2024. My background in nursing has profoundly shaped my approach to real estate; the same advocacy, attention to detail, and care I provided to my patients are now the cornerstones of the service I offer to my sellers and buyers. I am committed to providing a high-level service that prioritizes my clients' needs above all else. Whether you are looking to sell your property or find your dream home in Atlanta, I am here to guide you through every step of the process with the compassion and dedication you deserve. I have grown up in the Tucker area and have raised my children here. I am just a phone call and short drive away. I would be honored to help you and your family with any of your real estate needs. Best regards, Wellsley Kerr Bojak
