Right On!
By: Darren Canady
(Reading)
Bella, a Black Power Activist-turned-business executive returns to the alma mater where she led protests clad in a dashiki and afro. Along for the trip is her Harvard-bound son Kyle, carrying his own demons in his backpack. But this homecoming quickly turns into a roller coaster reunion with Bella’s activist friends, as they re-frame, rewrite, and reclaim their complicated pasts. Old flames and rivalries heat up, new challenges arise and Kyle gets a real talk, no jive education about the choices made by the young, gifted and free who set out to turn the tide. In the funky groove of Soul Train and Sly, two generations take each other higher in this powerful and funny story of change makers and their legacies.
Recommended for an audience ages 16+ due to severe adult language.

On the Exhale
By: Martin Zimmerman
When a senseless act of violence changes her life forever, a liberal college professor finds herself inexplicably drawn to the very weapon used to perpetrate the crime – and to the irresistible feeling of power that comes from holding life and death in her hands. Peering down the barrel of a uniquely American crisis, she begins to suspect that when it comes to gun violence, we’re all part of the problem.
Dates: October 10-11, 2025
Trouble in Mind
By: Alice Childress
A talented and experienced Black actress has been cast in Chaos in Belleville, an anti-lynching play set to open on Broadway. She’s paid her dues throughout the years, playing stereotypical supporting roles in second-rate shows, and is ready for her star turn. Chaos in Belleville, written by a white playwright, might not be quite as enlightened a piece as she’s been hoping for — but that doesn’t mean it won’t sell out. And selling out is the question at the heart of Alice Childress’s comedy-drama. A cast of multigenerational Black actors rehearse under the purview of a white director and stage manager, and as the rehearsal process unfolds, theatre conventions and racial politics collide, resulting in a surprisingly funny yet deeply piercing look at the entertainment industry.
Dates: November 13-22, 2025
The Minutes
By: Tracy Letts
This scathing new comedy about small-town politics and real-world power, from the author of August: Osage County, exposes the ugliness behind some of our most closely-held American narratives while asking each of us what we would do to keep from becoming history’s losers.
Dates: January 16-24, 2026
The Man from Earth
By: Jerome Bixby and Richard Schenkman
After history professor John Oldman unexpectedly resigns from the University, his startled colleagues impulsively invite themselves to his home, pressing him for an explanation. But they’re shocked to hear his reason for premature retirement: John claims he must move on because he is immortal, and cannot stay in one place for more than ten years without his secret being discovered. Tempers rise and emotions flow as John’s fellow professors attempt to poke holes in his story, but it soon becomes clear that his tale is as impossible to disprove as it is to verify. What starts out as a friendly gathering soon builds to an unexpected and shattering climax. Acclaimed science fiction writer Jerome Bixby, writer of the original ‘Star Trek’ and ‘The Twilight Zone’, originally conceived this story back in the early 1960’s. It would come to be his last great work.
Dates: March 13-21, 2026
As You Like It: Flipped!

POTUS: or behind every great dumbass is seven women trying to keep him alive
By: Selina Fillinger
One four-letter word is about to rock 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. When the President unwittingly spins a PR nightmare into a global crisis, the seven brilliant and beleaguered women he relies upon most risk life, liberty, and the pursuit of sanity to keep the commander-in-chief out of trouble.
Dates: July 17-25, 2026
Renegade Theatre Company is excited to announce a loaded weekend of performances for Antigone: The Burial At Thebes. Antigone is a forceful, rebellious work that echoes through our collective culture. At once provocative, overdramatic, dense, and dynamic, Antigone is always fascinating. What does Antigone’s sacrifice/conviction/stubbornness and Creon’s forbearance/pride/inflexibility have to teach us about the shape and nature of tragedy?
- A Glimpse Into Our Interpretation -
In our Antigone, Thebes is a modern workplace–our everyday setting for revolt–and a place where we feel the daily presence of the State. The vision for this show involves collaborative movement created by cast members and our choreographer through an iterative process.
This production will explore fundamental conflicts between individual conscience and state power, divine law and human law, and women’s position at home and in society. Seamus Haney’s translation enriches these themes with modern poetry, making it a gorgeous challenge for modern actors to deliver this story to a 2025 audience.

Don't miss the 14th annual Atlanta Black Theatre Festival.
Take a sneak peek at our incredible line-up!
Rooted in Resilience
The Atlanta Black Theatre Festival is a vibrant celebration of artistry and cultural expression. It brings together talented playwrights, actors, directors, artists, and audiences to showcase original works that reflect the breadth and depth of Black life and experiences. From thought-provoking dramas to uplifting comedies, the festival provides a platform for diverse voices and creative storytelling.
Competition!
JUNE 17-22, 2025
RAY CHARLES PERFORMING ARTS CENTER @ MOREHOUSE COLLEGE
• World Premieres
• Competition & Showcase
• $10,000 Prize as part of a $25,000 Commission
Now in its fourth season, the 96-Hour Opera Festival celebrates the artistry of emerging creative talents and offers a path into the art of opera. Launched as the 96-Hour Opera Project, the Festival expanded from the original composition competition to add developmental workshops and incubator performances of works by competition winners. The competition remains the heart of the Festival and welcomes emerging composers and librettists, pairing them to write ten-minute operas. Bringing their completed works to Atlanta, the creative teams are allowed 96 hours to rehearse and develop their productions with guidance from specialists in the field from June 17 through 21, 2025.
On Saturday, June 21, 2025, a public showcase will feature the ten-minute operas at the Ray Charles Performing Arts Center at Morehouse College and a winning team is selected by a distinguished group of judges. All selected participants will receive a $1000 honorarium. The Atlanta Opera presents the Antinori Grand Prize to the winning team — a $10,000 award as a part of a $25,000 Atlanta Opera commission for a one-act work to be produced and performed in an upcoming season.
The 96-Hour Festival also features presentations of the works in development by previous competition winners.
Designed specifically to broaden cultural perspectives in opera, the 96-Hour Opera Competition encourages the participation of composers and librettists who self-identify as part of a group that has been under-represented in the creative pantheon of opera.
The Atlanta Opera provides singing talent, and a pianist as collaborators to bring the new works to life. The Atlanta Opera will provide a compelling story theme(s) to be presented to the selected teams. The story prompts form the basis of the plot lines of the submitted works.

“BLENDS HUMOR, HEART, and CULTURAL EXPLORATION” -Broadway World
High stakes Art Basel is about to begin in Miami, and the art has vanished from Mariana’s trendy modern gallery! Chaos erupts—and so does laughter in this fast-paced comedy.
Artist/intern Caro and her policeman boyfriend are scrambling to find the thief or replace the art when Mari’s larger-than-life movie-star mother shows up, stealing the spotlight yet again. Then a past girl-crush arrives, and things get even more complicado.
A joyous celebration of Latinx creativity, messy love, mothers and daughters, and the beautiful challenge of finding your place—and your people.
PERFORMED IN ENGLISH
Here is how director Erika Miranda describes the play and what makes it so special to share with your mom!
"Laughs in Spanish is a comedy about art, identity...and the beautiful chaos of being a daughter… or a mother… or, if fate’s feeling spicy, both. Set in a Miami art gallery during the frenzy of Art Basel, the play kicks off with the entire exhibit being robbed and everyone’s pointing fingers. But the real drama? It’s not just the missing art—it’s the emotional masterpieces we’re all trying to restore at home. At its heart, this is a story about the unspoken things between mothers and daughters—the love, the misunderstandings, the 'I’m fine' when we are clearly not fine, and the moments of unexpected, unfiltered joy. Think of it as an art heist wrapped in a telenovela, sprinkled with bilingual chaos, and painted with all the complicated colors of generational love.
Laughs in Spanish is a love letter to the women who raised us, confused us, and—let’s be honest—sometimes drove us a little loca. It’s heartfelt, funny, and full of the messy magic that happens when we start to see our mothers as people, not just parents. Come for the laughs. Stay for the catharsis. Call your mother after."
“Every Generation Leaves Behind A Legacy. What Legacy Do You Want To Leave Behind?” ― John Lewis
Written by hip hop & spoken word playwright Psalmayene 24 with all original music composed by Atlanta composer Eugene H. Russell IV, this new hip hop musical examines the ten crucial years in the early life of the congressman, and his journey from student activist to major leader in the Civil Rights movement – all by the time he was 28. This innovative journey dares to ask how we grow into the courage of our convictions and offers a fresh perspective on one of the most dynamic periods in American History. The time has come to make some good trouble!

THE GLASS MENAGERIE by Tennesee Williams
Oct 29 - Nov 23, 2025
“Tennessee Williams’s Greatest Play” – Time Out
Tonight is one of those nights you remember forever. Tonight, someone special is coming to dinner. Tonight, there will be a dance. Tonight, you might fall in love. Tonight, everything could change. This is Tennessee Williams' (A Streetcar Named Desire) THE GLASS MENAGERIE, the semi-autobiographical work about how the past can become a prison, and how dreams can set us free. This American masterpiece returns to Atlanta with a bold new vision designed to highlight the lasting power that happens when great writing meets stunning performance.
A “MADE IN ATLANTA” WORLD PREMIERE
BLEEDING HEARTS by Steve Yockey
Jan 28 - Feb 22, 2026
Following the World Premiere of Venus, Atlanta playwright Steve Yockey returns with another World Premiere BLEEDING HEARTS – a breakneck, pitch-black farce about the disappearing middle class & how people forget to put themselves in each others' shoes. Sloane isn't sure why exactly her husband Timothy brought home a probably dangerous drifter with a knife, but she doesn’t like it. Of course, it's hard to focus when her wealthy neighbor keeps dropping by to steal anything not nailed down. And then things get violent (in a way only Yockey knows how to deliver).
THE PRICE by Arthur Miller
Apr 8 - May 3, 2026
“One Of The Most Engrossing And Entertaining Plays That Miller Has Ever Written” – New York Times
From the team behind Remember This and The Lehman Trilogy, comes a brand-new take on Arthur Miller’s (The Crucible) THE PRICE - a riveting story about the struggle to make peace with the past and create hope for the future. Set in the attic of a crumbling Brownstone in New York City, two brothers battle for their birthright in the wake of their father’s passing. The cast of The Lehman Trilogy – Andrew Benator, Brian Kurlander, and Eric Mendenhall – return for Miller’s most personal and riveting play exploring the true price of the choices we make or fail to make in life.
THE REVOLUTIONISTS by Lauren Gunderson
Jun 3 - Jun 28, 2026
“A Sassy, Hold-On-To-Your-Seats Theatrical Adventure” – Cincinnati Enquirer
Atlanta playwright Lauren Gunderson (Silent Sky) returns with THE REVOLUTIONISTS – an irreverent, girl-powered comedy set during the French Revolution’s Reign of Terror. Playwright Olympe de Gouges, assassin Charlotte Corday, former queen Marie Antoinette, and Haitian rebel Marianne Angelle hang out, murder Marat, and try to beat back the insanity in 1793 Paris. This grand and dream-tweaked comedy is about violence and legacy, art and activism, and how we actually go about changing the world. It’s a true story. Or total fiction. Or a play about a play. There's really only one way to find out!
A “MADE IN ATLANTA” FESTIVAL
The Return of LAUNCHPAD 2.0
LAUNCHPAD: A “MADE IN ATLANTA” FESTIVAL – 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 – returns! Just like 1.0, four World Premieres will run in rep to create one groundbreaking new works festival. Each of the productions showcases an original Atlanta voice, and the festival is designed to set up works that are ready to tour.
And, if all of that wasn’t enough, the season will also spotlight two LIVE AT THE BALZER – a series that opens our space to other organizations to bring their stories to the heart of Downtown ATL – events. This Summer we are excited to welcome True Colors Theatre Company (as their home gets a renovation) for the Southern Premiere of AIN’T NO MO’ by Jordan E. Cooper And, this Fall will see the return of FAT JULIET by Bridget McCarthy – a LAUNCHPAD return engagement. Darkly hilarious and deeply moving, this solo performance uses the story of Juliet (yes, that Juliet) to map one woman’s not so Juliet-ish search for true love. And, stay tuned as many other events are looking to find themselves LIVE AT THE BALZER this season

“DOUBT CAN BE AS POWERFUL AND SUSTAINING AS CERTAINTY”
Set in 1964 at St.Nicholas Church School in the Bronx, the highly traditional and inflexible Sister Aloysius Beauvier becomes suspicious of the charming, progressive Father Flynn’s intentions with a student. Sister Aloysius is unwavering in her belief of Father Flynn’s wrongdoings, but for those around her the babble of lies and truths and questions and secrets lead them only to a place of doubt. John Patrick Shanley’s gripping play leaves audiences full of questions even until the last four chilling words.
“Tony, Pulitzer and Oscar winner John Patrick Shanley’s greatest play shifts our loyalties and shatters our assumptions as vividly as it did when it premiered on Broadway twenty years ago.” – Freddie

The Dark Lady
by Jessica B. Hill
Directed by Alexis Kulani Woodard
"Write me a woman who fights for what she wants."
The Dark Lady is a witty and sensual duet that reclaims the story of a fascinating woman who was almost lost to history—Emilia Bassano. Through her eyes, this thrilling love story helps us both understand and challenge our love of Shakespeare. Emilia was multiracial and multilingual, and the first Englishwoman to publish her own poetry. And she may also be the answer to a 400-year-old mystery—just who was the “Dark Lady” that Shakespeare spoke of with such passion in his sonnets?
The question of the identity of the Dark Lady is an unsolved, controversial issue because of the insufficiency of historical detail. Some believe that she might be of Mediterranean ancestry, with the dark hair and dark eyes common in Greece, Spain, Italy, and southern France. Other scholars have suggested, given Shakespeare's description of her dark, dun-colored skin and black wiry hair, that the Dark Lady might have been a woman of African ancestry. Ultimately, "none of the many attempts at identifying the dark lady…are finally convincing"

FOOTLOOSE: THE MUSICAL
Book by Dean Pitchford and Walter Bobbie
Music by Tom Snow
Lyrics by Dean Pitchford
Additional Music by Eric Carmen, Sammy Hagar, Kenny Loggins, and Jim Steinman
JUNE 27-29, 2025
When Ren and his mother move from Chicago to a small farming town, he is prepared for the inevitable adjustment period at his new high school. But he’s not prepared for the rigorous local edicts, including a ban on dancing instituted by the local preacher, who is determined to exercise control over the town’s youth. When the reverend’s rebellious daughter sets her sights on Ren, her roughneck boyfriend tries to sabotage Ren’s reputation, with many of the locals eager to believe the worst about the new kid. The heartfelt story that emerges pins a father longing for the son he lost against a young man aching for the father who walked out on him.
This crowd-pleasing musical is based on the 1984 film of the same name and features the title song, “Footloose” (Academy Award nomination), “Let’s Hear It For The Boy” (Academy Award nomination), as well as the original film’s soundtrack hits “Almost Paradise,” “Holding Out For A Hero,” and “I’m Free (Heaven Helps the Man)”. Augmented with dynamic new songs, Footloose The Musical celebrates the wisdom of listening to young people while guiding them with a warm heart and open mind.
THIS PERFORMANCE WILL BE LIVE IN THE BYERS THEATRE AT THE SANDY SPRINGS PERFORMING ARTS CENTER.
ANOTHER SEASON OF WONDER!
Wonder stems from the feeling of surprise, from the unexpected, the unfamiliar, and the beautiful, and this season will explore all of those possibilities of magic, mystery, admiration and heartbreak that we experience in our lives. Join us in our desire to know and learn more about the world around us and ourselves through these stories told in our theatre.

Two world premieres bring fresh excitement to the season. The Center for Puppetry Arts is excited to add a title for families to its popular Halloween lineup with Spookhouse Annie is a spooky-silly romp perfect for all ages. Meanwhile, The Stinky Cheese Man and Other Fairly Stupid Tales —adapted from the popular children’s book by Jon Scieszka—offers a zany, reimagined retelling of classic folktales.

Trapped in their former home, Solomon and Zenobi are forced to confront the unresolved issues that tore them apart.

Dearly Departed
By David Bottrell & Jessie Jones
Directed By Jimmy Spearman
June 6 – 22rd
Dearly Departed is a Southern-fried comedy of caskets and country craziness puts the “fun” in funeral. In the Baptist backwoods of the Bible Belt, the beleaguered Turpin family proves that living and dying in the South are seldom tidy and always hilarious. Despite their earnest efforts to pull themselves together for their father’s funeral, the Turpin’s other problems keep overshadowing the solemn occasion: Firstborn Ray-Bud drinks himself silly as the funeral bills mount; Junior, the younger son, is juggling financial ruin, a pack of no-neck monster kids, and a wife who suspects him of infidelity in the family car; their spinster sister, Delightful, copes with death as she does life, by devouring junk food; and all the neighbors add more than two cents. As the situation becomes fraught with mishap, Ray-Bud says to his long-suffering wife, “When I die, don’t tell nobody. Just bury me in the backyard and tell everybody I left you.” Amidst the chaos, the Turpins turn for comfort to their friends and neighbors, an eccentric community of misfits who just manage to pull together and help each other through their hours of need, and finally, the funeral.
Tuck Everlasting
Book by Claudia Shear and Tim Federle
Music by Chris Miller
Lyrics by Nathan Tysen
ACT1 MainStage, June 6-22, 2025
What would you do if you had all eternity? Eleven-year-old Winnie Foster yearns for a life of adventure beyond her white picket fence, but not until she becomes unexpectedly entwined with the Tuck Family does she get more than she could have imagined. When Winnie learns of the magic behind the Tuck’s unending youth, she must fight to protect their secret from those who would do anything for a chance at eternal life. As her adventure unfolds, Winnie faces an extraordinary choice: return to her life or continue with the Tucks on their infinite journey.
Chris and Ken Gorman arrive at a fancy dinner party for their friend, Charley Brock. They discover that all is not well, and that Charley has had an accident involving a shotgun and his earlobe. This could be damaging to Charley’s reputation, as he is deputy mayor of New York City. Chris and Ken’s friends begin to arrive. As they attempt to cover up the facts, hilarity ensues. Neil Simon’s Rumors is a charming farce with lots of gags, twists, zingers, and zanies, but it also borrows from Simon’s life experience to depict the challenges, as well as the comforts, of married life.
A powerful drama that follows an African American family’s struggles and aspirations as they seek to improve their lives amidst racial and economic challenges in 1950s Chicago, exploring themes of identity, dreams, and resilience.

Ethan eats excitement for breakfast, and he never avoids pulse-pounding, often unnecessary tactics, whether it’s climbing insanely tall buildings, hanging off an airplane in midair, or driving a motorcycle really, really fast. Ethan’s latest mission: locate a deadly object that could end all life on Earth—AGAIN—probably. That's ok. He's used to that.
But when the evil Mastermind of NiteFort, the most epic online/arcade/handheld game ever, discovers Ethan is closing in, he does the unthinkable. He pulls Ethan into a world he knows nothing about ....INSIDE the game of NiteFort. Light the fuse and ignite the thrills, as you’re enlisted to help Ethan Stunt, Lara Croft, Luther the Lyft Driver, some token Russian bad guys, and a whole lot of your favorite video game characters, as Ethan tries to find the killer and maybe even save the world!
