"KING ARTHUR" (1968)

Jim Way was brought to Atlanta in 1968 by producer Christopher Manos to be the Production Stage Manager of "King Arthur," the epic to end all other epics which opened the Arts Alliance, now the Woodruff. About that time, Jim's wife Sally gave birth to their first child, James, his father's second major Atlanta production. Soon followed two daughters, Caitlin and Siobhan.

JIM WAY'S FINEST WORKS

Through his principal employer Christopher Manos, Way became a director of stars. Yet Way's two most acclaimed works were "starless," "One Flew over The Cuckoo's Nest" in 1974 for Manos, and "Twelfth Night," in 1977 at the Harlequin Dinner Theatre, now demolished.
