What is The NexGen Internship?
Marietta’s Theatre in the Square’s NexGen Internship is designed for the next generation of creators, leaders, and innovators. This is more than an internship — it’s a hands-on training ground where passion meets real-world experience.Interns sign up for a specific production, working side-by-side with theatre professionals and MTS’s in-house team to help bring a show from concept to curtain call. From production and stage management to marketing, administration, technical theatre, and beyond — you’ll gain practical, marketable skills while actively participating in a live theatrical process.The skills learned in theatre are the skills used in every industry: communication, collaboration, creativity, problem-solving, leadership, and adaptability. Through NexGen, you’ll grow your craft, strengthen your resume, and discover your potential in a supportive, inspiring environment.Those before us poured into our passion — now it’s our turn to pour into yours.
The Academy Theatre is calling for plays for 'Tapas: Declarations of Independence'
We are asking Georgia playwrights to submit 7 to 12 minute plays for consideration for our annual short play festival. Each playwright may submit two (2) plays for consideration.
They should be emailed to academyoutreach@yahoo.com.
The deadline for entry is May 4th. The show opens July 10th and runs through July 26th.
We will accept 10 total plays for this event and license them from the playwright, who retains exclusive copyright to their work.
Scripts should meet the following criteria:
- Scripts should not be partisan or advocate partisan positions. (A person might write about how providing housing is freedom and that's great, but pointing out that Northern Democrats were against the Fair Housing Act isn't)
- Scripts may be intellectually rigorous, but should be of such nature as to be acceptable to teens and above.
- Scripts should work on a simple set with one door flat and a couple of side flats and should not require massive amounts of furniture and props.
- No projections will be used in this project.
- This show will consider a wide range of points of view, but shows expressly attacking one group of people will be rejected.
- Shows should avoid nudity (Hapeville laws forbid it) and large chunks of vulgar language (Tuck your spoofs of Mamet away for another show)
- Each script should have your name, email, phone number, mailing address, and title of script.
We are applying for an NEA grant to fund this work. We have, as of this writing, not yet been told "no".
Thanks for your consideration and I look forward to receiving your plays and those of with whom you share this message.

AUDITION ANNOUNCEMENT
A Year with Frog & Toad
*** CASTING TOAD AND AT LEAST ONE ENSEMBLE MEMBER. ***
Sunday May 3rd 6pm - 8pm
Callbacks will be on Sunday May 3rd 8pm
A hit on Broadway, A Year with Frog and Toad was nominated for three Tony Awards – including Best Musical. Based on Arnold Lobel's well-loved books, and featuring a hummable score by Robert and Willie Reale, this whimsical show follows two great friends – the cheerful, popular Frog and the rather grumpy Toad – through four fun-filled seasons.
Waking from hibernation in the Spring, Frog and Toad plant gardens, swim, rake leaves, go sledding and learn life lessons along the way. The two best friends celebrate and rejoice in the differences that make them unique and special. Part vaudeville, part make believe... all charm, A Year with Frog and Toad tells the story of a friendship that endures throughout the seasons.
The jazzy, upbeat score bubbles with melody and wit, making it an inventive, exuberant and enchanting musical for the whole family.

AUDITION FORM: https://efxsk5et.paperform.co
In the rubble of the London Blitz of World War II, Alice Spencer’s budding teen life is turned upside down, and she and her dear friend Alfred are forced to take shelter in an underground tube station. When the ailing Alfred is quarantined, Alice encourages him to escape with her into their cherished book and journey down the rabbit hole to Wonderland.
For this production, our goal is to create two complete, distinct casts who will each perform on separate weekends. Alice by Heart is a beautiful story, and we are excited at the prospect of telling it in two separate ways. With this plan in mind, we intend for each cast to have ten actors and follow the original doubling (or more, in some cases); these choices were made very particularly in that original production, and we want to honor them while putting our own spin on the show.
We are currently referring to these two distinct casts as CAST 1 and CAST 2. They will rehearse together, which will mean that every actor has a partner to work alongside throughout this process. CAST 1 will perform August 14th and 15th and CAST 2 will perform on August 21st and 22nd.
With all of this information in mind, we are encouraging actors to make strong choices in their audition pieces. We are not looking to recreate the original performers; instead, we want to see unique, compelling performances that can help us shape these two distinct portrayals.
As with all ACT I productions, this performance is amateur in nature and no pay is offered. There is no fee to participate if cast.
Submissions Due April 24

Auditions
HMS Pinafore
Saturday, May 2, 2026 10AM and Sunday, May 3, 2026 6PM ;
Step aboard HMS Pinafore and explore the magic of Gilbert & Sullivan’s timeless comic opera.
At its heart, HMS Pinafore is a hilarious tale of love, honor and duty, where class divides and mistaken identities lead to a cleverly crafted adventure on the high seas.
HMS Pinafore is about love, social class and mistaken identities aboard a British naval ship.
The story follows Ralph Rackstraw, a sailor who falls for Josephine, the captain’s daughter, despite their differing social statuses. Through its humour and satirical twists, HMS Pinafore explores themes of romance, hierarchy, and the idea that true worth lies in character rather than rank.

Membership Announcement:
-
Atlanta Dramatists are seeking paid members. What does this entail?
-
$20 membership fee for the entire year.
-
Dues-paying members will receive discounts (and sometimes even free admission) to all of our workshops and readings for the year.
-
Only dues-paying members will be eligible to have their scripts read in our First Sundays reading series, our Fourth Monday reading series, and our Fully-Rehearsed Play Reading series. Please note that if you have already submitted a script and have received confirmation with a reading date, then you will be grandfathered in for that reading, but if you wish to submit future scripts (including short excerpts), you will need to become a dues-paying member.
-
These fees will allow us to begin paying our actors who participate in these events a small stipend, as well as allow us to file necessary paperwork, hire directors and dramaturgs for fully-rehearsed readings, pay the venues (including Academy Theatre), and meet other necessary financial goals.
-
$20 membership fee may be paid through: Donations – Atlanta Dramatists. Just please clarify in the comments that this is for a membership, not a donation.
-
Audience members are welcome to attend our cold readings for free on Zoom or live, though a small fee may be requested for attendees of our fully rehearsed readings, workshops, and potential full productions. Dues-paying members will always receive a discount (and possibly even free admission) to any of our events that require an admission fee. The discount amount may vary based on the scope of the event.
