Originally opened in 1931, The Buckhead Theatre sits at the gateway to one of the country’s most storied neighborhoods. Two years of painstaking restoration led the way for a grand reopening in 2010. The Buckhead Theatre reopened its doors as Atlanta’s premier intimate theatrical venue. Embracing the deep musical heritage of Georgia and the Southeast, The Buckhead Theatre has been the site of sold-out shows of every musical genre—rock, country, hip-hop, alternative and more. Peachtree Road was organized on April 28, 1925, in the home of Dr. and Mrs. M.T. Salter. We were founded as The Peachtree Road Methodist Church and The Rev. E.H. Wood was named our first pastor. At that first meeting, 19 people entered their membership in Peachtree Road. Our present membership stands at more than 7,100. Worship is at the heart of who we are at Peachtree Road. Our worship services and music are traditional with a warm, welcoming feel. The congregation is committed to outreach into the Atlanta community, both on an individual basis and in groups of volunteers. The largest project each year is The Great Day of Service, during which almost 2,000 volunteers from Peachtree Road blanket the Atlanta area on one Saturday in Lent. Volunteers serve at more than 85 different outreach agencies, helping with everything from painting to conducting birthday parties for the elderly. Peachtree Road’s congregation is multi-generational. There are opportunities for all ages and life stages to become involved through study, outreach and fellowship. The congregation of Peachtree Road is dedicated to opening their doors to everyone, to making visitors feel welcome and to extending the hospitality and friendship to both congregation and community. Central to Buckhead nightlife for more than 80 years, The Buckhead Theatre is steeped in the lively spirit of its history, yet fully modernized to accommodate today’s various forms of entertainment and special events. The restored Spanish-baroque architecture of this classic movie house jewel is a seamless historical counterpoint to the updated state-of-the-art lighting and sound system, modern catering kitchen, event space and other amenities. Beyond the theater’s 10-foot LED marquee, original art deco doorways lead from the lobby into the 8,000-squarefoot main theatre and orchestra and loge spaces. The Buckhead Theatre’s revitalized interior plan increases flexibility for a variety of performances and events, including lectures, comedy, Broadway plays, concerts and private and public events.

Ackerman was also delighted to contribute the “Practice” sections of Mark Labberton’s recent book, “Called: The Crisis and Promise of Following Jesus Today.” Ackerman is ordained in the Presbyterian Church (USA), received her M.Div. from Fuller Theological Seminary and is currently working on a Ph.D. in theology and culture.
