I found this theater interesting because I have never been to Atlanta and it would be a place i would like to visit if i ever go. The fact that there is a stage for not just adults but children makes it unique. I also like that there are many classes offered and a different times through out the year, so if you work all year there are summer classes as well as classes during spring and winter break.
