Marietta's Theatre in the Square is set to quite literally swing into their 10th Anniversary Season with the arrival of "Ain’t Misbehavin’," a musical revue infused with the soul of jazz legend Thomas “Fats” Waller. The show promises to regale audiences with a host of Waller's melodies, from the lively "Honeysuckle Rose" to the poignant "Black and Blue." This vibrant production, complete with a live band, is a nod to the irrepressible energy of the Harlem Renaissance, its music, humor, and its timeless influence, as reported by the Marietta government website.
Beginning February 13 and running through March 1, 2026, spectators will have the opportunity to immerse themselves in an era when the notes of stride piano coursed through the air and swing was not rather a choice, but the pulse of a community. Marietta's Theatre in the Square serves as the spirited backdrop for this toe-tapping tribute, which kicks off their new season with aplomb, as "Ain’t Misbehavin’" is more than just a musical—it's a celebration wrapped in a concert experience.
Located at 11 Whitlock Avenue in Marietta, GA, the Theatre in the Square has been a hub for cultural enrichment and the arts. The choice to open their anniversary season with "Ain't Misbehavin'" is a deliberate one, reflecting not only a homage to Fats Waller but also a dedication to preserving and sharing the rich tapestry of American jazz history. The show's emphasis on live music and theatricality seeks to create an ambiance that resonates with the dynamism of the original Harlem Renaissance period.
