Nathan Gerrells, the artistic director at the Holly Theater, said he sees a purity in a group of people coming together to put on a show for passion’s sake, rather than for money or fame. That sense of pure love for the art of performing is a recurring theme for the actors and crew who are drawn back to the volunteer theater in Dahlonega several times a year to help perform shows for the locals.
