Founded in 1995 with one location at Chattahoochee Plantation, Universal Tennis Academy has since grown to include seven other locations located throughout the Atlanta area. At the Joseph D. McGhee Tennis Center and Washington Park Tennis Center, tennis pros help developing players hone their skills with focused drills, match play, and challenge ladders, focusing on attitude and work ethic as well as technique. Eight of McGhee's nine hard courts and all eight of Washington Park's courts stay lit in the evening, allowing competitors to play their unresolved matches in the dark without lighting the ball on fire.

Members can also ramp up their exercise regimens with the help of Anytime Fitness’s staff of personal trainers, who demonstrate moves and sling motivating tips.

FastFrame's artistic staff beautifies the boundaries of photographs, paintings, and 3-D keepsakes with custom frames forged of thousands of molding, glass, and mat options. FastFrame’s collection of small, medium, and large shadowboxes enclose valuable mementos in 3 inches of depth, enough space to enshrine prize ribbons, baby shoes, or Peter Pan’s ever-elusive shadow. Diplomas rest behind double-matted conservation mounting, and sports-jersey cases show off treasured uniforms. Framers can also construct sturdy custom homes for paintings and cut mats to outline artwork with complementary flair. Many projects start at around $100, but prices vary greatly, depending on size, scope, and if the framed goods are pilfered from the Louvre. Under FastFrame’s Preservation Plus program, frame artisans quarantine artwork in an acid-free environment, preserving the work for safe future removal in a method that meets the Library of Congress’s requirements.

The Georgia Ensemble Theatre (GET) touches audiences and helps cultivate a strong artistic community through classic and contemporary shows. Under the direction of former Roswell native Don Farrell, GET's professional troupe of ribald line readers will perform a greatest-hits version of Forbidden Broadway, a Tony Honors–award recipient in 2006. For nearly three decades, audiences have sought treatment for excessively slapped knees and busted guts prompted by this constantly changing production's send up of the popular tunes and plot lines of Broadway shows past and present. Harmonizing humorists draw theater-goers to the edge of their orchestra seats with a medley of songs that roast The Lion King, Annie, Wicked, and other hits from the Great White Way.
