"Everyone understands what this means and the sacrifice for us to go down the street and play a show is nothing compared to what’s happened to the Georgia Theatre staff."The show is being held at the Melting Point in Athens tomorrow night. 10-dollar tickets can be bought either at the door, or online through georgiatheathre.com. The Melting Point will also accept cash donations for a Georgia Theatre fund.
