Mission

Out of Hand Theater creates innovative new work. We choose the most interesting subjects, and then we partner with passionate experts to create compelling, intimate theatrical events, engaging communities around these subjects. We create interactive experiences that embrace new audiences, both inside theaters and in public spaces. Our approach not only makes for great theater, it also assists us in training artists and non-artists to use creativity and collaboration to communicate through the arts.

Statement of Purpose

We believe we are only as good as our collaborators and our audience is our primary partner. We enlist the community in our creation process through free workshop performances, constant on-line dialogue, and collaborations with scientists, schools, and theater companies across the country.

We make theater accessible through bafflingly affordable ticket prices and free public performance in unexpected places.

We maintain a strong training regimen that challenges, inspires and expands the artists of Out of Hand, infusing Atlanta with a fully charged army of theater makers.

We share our collaborative approach to art and life with as many people as possible through performances, classes, residencies, parties, games, and collaborations with visual artists, thinkers, researchers, communities, activists, teachers and students.

Through collaboration, we seek a deeper understanding of the world.
