Atlanta Theater Community

Creating Opportunities for Artists & the Community

We believe that theater belongs to everyone. We’re committed to breaking down barriers so that all voices can access, create, and be transformed by this powerful art form.

The stories we tell, the artists who tell them, and the programs we deliver are deeply rooted in, reflective of, and responsive to our community. The Alliance belongs to the people, all the people. Our work must honor the vastness of their truths.

By centering learning, connection, and creativity, our work brings people together in a shared love for the arts and reignites a sense of possibility across Atlanta.

Making Theater Accessible to All of Atlanta

Whether it’s discounted and free tickets or ADA-accessible performances, we’re dedicated to making our work welcoming and available to all. Here are a few of the ways we make this possible.

Expanding Hearts and Minds, Onstage and Off

The Alliance’s commitment to access comes to life through theater education programs that reach far beyond the stage.

With the Alliance Theatre Institute and Alliance@Work, we bring the impact of art into classrooms, workplaces, and communities across the city.

These programs use the power of storytelling to strengthen community, spark learning, and create space for connection where it matters most.

Supporting Working Artists

We are only as strong as the people who build, create, and dream with us. That is why we hold ourselves to the highest standards in how we welcome, hire, and support those who bring this theater to life.

The Artist Childcare Program is a radical childcare solution offering free, arts-integrated childcare for artists working at Alliance Theatre.
