Made in Atlanta

Founded in 2020/21, MADE IN ATLANTA has grown into one of the most impactful new work programs in the South. It is grounded in the idea that Atlanta is one of the most creative places in the world, and that the stories that live in this city can impact audiences both here and across the country. Plays that originated as part of MADE IN ATLANTA have gone on to perform at Lincoln Center in New York, Woolly Mammoth in DC, and have been selected as finalists for the O’Neil Award. Our annual LAUNCHPAD festival launches new pieces to tour, and artists have brought work to multiple states, and for longer runs here in Atlanta. We are committed to Atlanta artists, and supporting stories that matter in out community.

LAUNCHPAD: An exciting way to empower a new generation of theatre artists with the space, resources, development, and institutional support to create visceral, compact, innovative, and portable performance pieces than can be replicated in ANY space in Atlanta, GA, the nation, or even across the globe.

NEW PLAY WORKSHOPS: We offer a week of rehearsal with a director, a dramaturg, and a full cast to dig into key questions about content, theme, structure, character development, story arc etc. to deepen the impact of the work and get it ready for a Main Stage production.

COMMISSIONS: Commissions support the creation of brand new plays, from initial concept all the way through to production. We look for exciting stories that start crucial conversations in our community, and highlight the diverse voice of Atlanta.

Made In Atlanta PRESENTS: We offer Theatrical Outfit as a home for World Premiere productions of dynamic and exciting new plays that are connected to community engagement programs which deepen the impact of the work.
