Fame costs much. But how much is too much? Veteran Actor Jerome Preston Bates examines this in a story told about Jimi Hendrix we've never seen. Six women share the stage with the iconic legend and his music to weave together tales helping us understand one man's struggle to balance success with his desire to just be normal again.

For every sane reason to leave, there's an "insane" one to stay put. Relationships can be so tough, yet so hard to break. Winner of the 2023 Atlanta Black Theater Festival for Best Show, "Why Goodbye" puts this idea on full display. Veteran actors, Keith Franklin and Mary McCallum bring to life this masterful story about the complexity relationships can bring, and the difficulty of leaving it all behind.
