The Atlanta History Center presents a unique and immersive experience designed to take visitors back in time.  Four Days of Fury: Atlanta 1906, by resident playwright Addae Moon, involves audiences in the ideas, debates, emotions, and perspectives that led to the 1906 Atlanta Race Riot – a pivotal, yet unfamiliar event in Atlanta’s history. Participants dive into the past as trailblazing African American journalist J. Max Barber guides visitors through a provocative gallery-based theater experience that explores the headlines, people, and events of one of the city’s seminal episodes of race and memory. Facilitated discussions following the performances help visitors understand why history matters and how it has shaped our community today.

This hour-long theatre experience is recommended for ages sixteen and up, based on language and sensitive subject matter. Visitors who take advantage of the experience should understand this is an immersive encounter with history that is challenging and provocative, yet stimulating, inspiring, and motivating as well.

There is limited capacity per performance and reservations are required. Admission is $10 for Atlanta History Center members, $15 nonmembers. Reserve your tickets by phone at 404.814.4150 or online at AtlantaHistoryCenter.com/HistoryMatters.
