Not in the classic sense, but in the true character of Savannah, ‘theater’ happens every day in Savannah, Georgia.   Life and leisure in Savannah IS theater — complete with backdrop, players, directors, producers — each with different titles guiding or moving the drama or entertainment along.  

From its colonial beginnings, there has been enthusiasm for social activities and theatrical events in Savannah.   In the 1800s, the theater season was in late fall and early winter, in contrast to England’s spring and summer, because of weather differences.  Until the modern era of air conditioning, summer theater was not practical in sub-tropical Savannah, Georgia in the American South.

“All that [was] the fashionable world of Savannah attended [theater].” — Savannah in the Old South By Walter J. Fraser writes, quoting William Gordon.

Added to the generous amenities, quiet enjoyment, overly spacious comforts, and private spot overlooking Oglethorpe Square, Presidents’ Quarters Inn delivers even more to its discerning bed and breakfast getaway guest! 

To encourage Sunday through Thursday Savannah lodging, executive innkeeper Jane Sales announces the historic inn’s “Savannah Wine + Tour Special“, good through December 23, 2011.

WINE + TOUR SPECIAL” DETAILS

  • On arrival, receive a complimentary bottle of wine or Champagne, plus up to two historic district tour passes (value $35).
  • The late fall special is exclusive to guests booking after October 12, 2011.

Downtown Savannah is less frenzied during weekdays with fewer tourism visitors.  In addition to top-tier events during the week — like the Savannah Film Festival (October 29-November 5, 2011) — there are art and mansion museums, galleries, the gamut of history to movie and foodie tours, boutique and antique shops, plus outstanding food and wine dining.

Savannah, Georgia, was named #7 in TripAdvisor’s 2011 Travelers’ Choice Food and Wine Destinations Awards. “Every day in Savannah travelers may choose ‘Sunday Dinner’ fare, or light and refreshing Low Country fare, and artistically presented desserts and beverages found at the artisan bakeries, cafes, and pubs,” adds Mrs. Sales.

“Not just empty nesters and retirees are choosing a mini-vacation or an extended Savannah weekend getaway,” adds Mrs. Sales.  “We see families and international professionals taking advantage of our “Sunday in Savannah” special, which discounts their Sunday stay to 50% with 3-days’ lodging.”
