The play, called "Shermantown — Baseball, Apple Pie and the Klan," depicted a particularly hate-filled Klan rally in Stone Mountain's black Shermantown neighborhood.

Playwright Calvin Ramsey, who has written before about the struggles of black people, said he's searching for another venue for his play.

The Rev. William Morris, who has lived in Shermantown 77 years, said he is perplexed by the theater's decision.

"There's nothing offensive about it," he said. "It's the way it was."

So, if I'm to understand this correctly, the play was written by someone who often writes about the struggles of African-Americans. Perhaps holding a mirror up is too much for some?

If anyone knows more about this, please let us know!
