Alliance Theatre
Since 1968, the Alliance Theatre has served as Atlanta’s foremost Theatre, working within the local, national and international communities to become one of the leading regional theatres in America. The Mission of the Alliance is straightforward and ambitious:
As the premier theatre of the Southeast, the Alliance Theatre sets the highest standards, creating the powerful experience of shared theatre for diverse people. From its inaugural presentation of King Arthur, to its Broadway-bound premiere production of The Color Purple, the Alliance has consistently advanced the art of theatre. Over the years, the Alliance has produced more than 40 world premieres, including an adaptation of Carson McCullers’ The Heart is a Lonely Hunter, Pearl Cleage’s Blues For An Alabama Sky, Elton John and Tim Rice’s Aida, and Alfred Uhry’s The Last Night of Ballyhoo.
Under the leadership of Artistic Director Susan V. Booth and Managing Director Thomas Pechar, the Alliance brings the world’s best resources to Atlanta in one of the nation’s finest venues. The Alliance is committed to extending theatre to an audience that reflects our community with plays for both adults and youth, serving more than 225,000 patrons each year.
Now in its 37th season, the Alliance Theatre continuously strives to bring Atlanta the finest talent and the finest art—setting the highest artistic standards. It proves once again that the Alliance is where great theatre lives. |
