Sondheim and James Lapine's Into the Woods will launch the season in September. The production, which will incorporate young musicians, will be a collaboration between the Alliance, the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra and the Atlanta Federation of Musicians.

Four-time Tony Award nominee Feldshuh will reprise her performance as Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir in Golda's Balcony in the fall. Scott Schwartz will again direct the solo play.

In December the Alliance will present Janece Shaffer's dark comedy Broke, about a high-powered corporate executive who supported her family until the American economy took a nosedive in 2009. Chicago's Second City comedy troupe will also return for the fourth year with Sex and The Second City about love and the digital age.

Fall-winter youth programming will include Rosemary Newcott's musical The Real Tweenagers of Atlanta and the classic The Wizard of Oz. The Alliance will also welcome the return of A Christmas Carol in December.

The Alliance has also announced that The Nacirema Society Requests the Honor of Your Presence at a Celebration of Their First One Hundred Years playwright Pearl Cleage is the inaugural recipient of the Artist in Dialogue residency for the next two years
