Hot Georgia Sunday revolves around six characters and the events that have rocked their small Southern church community from one Sunday to the next. The story is centered on what happens when 15-year-old Jenny and her friend Tara decide to skip church on one hot Georgia Sunday. She and the other characters describe and re-enact their actions of the week from their own perspectives, painting a multifaceted picture of the situation as they wrestle between what they want and what they believe is right.
Director Geoffrey Douglas, a doctoral student in the Franklin College of Arts and Sciences theatre and film studies department, describes Hot Georgia Sunday as a character study with personalities that many may recognize as people they have known.
