History informs this comedy featuring Donna Biscoe, S. Renee Clark, Marguerite Hannah, Tony Vaughn, Jade Lambert-Smith and Jackie Prucha. Coincidentally, Theatrical Outfit’s Balzer Theatre currently occupies the site of Herren’s Restaurant, Atlanta’s first eatery to voluntarily desegregate in 1963. Through DEC. 3. $16.20-$54. Tues.-Sat., 7:30 p.m.; Sun., 2:30 p.m. 84 Luckie St. 678-528-1500. http://www.theatricaloutfit.org
