Support Out of Hand

Creative Kids

Through free theater training classes, Creative Kids teaches confidence, as well as communication, collaboration, and creative problem solving skills that will serve students at home, in the classroom, and beyond. Creative Kids is a free arts education program that provides after-school classes at high poverty schools and after-school centers. We have served over 650 students at 12 schools with 312 classes, free to students and schools.

Out of Hand is committed to providing high-quality arts education at no cost to the students or school, but we can only do that through generous support from grants and individual donors. If you would like to support this work, we hope you will consider sponsoring a student, teacher, or school.

Shows in Homes

Each Season, Out of Hand produces Shows in Homes: one-act plays on social justice topics produced in living rooms across Metro Atlanta, and paired with cocktail parties and conversations on the issue with our partners. 2019’s “Conceal and Carry” tackled gun violence in America, in collaboration with Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America. In 2022' “Calf” addressed mass incarceration and the obstacles people face upon release from prison, in partnership with the Georgia Justice Project. And in 2023 we partnered with the Partnership of Southern Equity and playwright Ingrid Griffith to inspire the audience to take political action with “Shirley Chisholm: Unbossed and Unbowed.”
