At a gallery in southwest Atlanta, charming portraits of girlhood
Arnika Dawkins Gallery on Cascade Road in southwest Atlanta is probably not what most people expect when they envision an art gallery.

‘Sister Act’ joyously silly
“Sister Act” has been in the habit of making us laugh for more than 20 years. First came the 1992 screwball film with Whoopi Goldberg as the sassy singer turned nun on the run. Then the musical adaptation developed at the Alliance Theatre and Pasadena Playhouse during the 2006-2007 season. ...
