Theatrical Outfit (TO) is the only professional theatre company in Downtown Atlanta. Our mission is: to produce world class theatre, spark conversations that matter, and create a thriving home for Atlanta artists, right in the heart of our city. We own a beautiful historic theatre in the Fairlie Poplar district that used to house Herren’s restaurant: the first restaurant in Atlanta to voluntarily de-segregate in 1963. TO produces five plays and a new work festival each season that highlight the extraordinary creative talents of Atlanta artists. We engage with important issues relevant to our city and our lives, and our “Made in Atlanta” new work program catalyzes a new creative future for Atlanta. Our venue hosts events such as The Moth, jazz concerts, special pop up events and experiences, and plays by emerging theatre companies. Recent highlights include the World Premiere of Young John Lewis, a hip hop musical about the legendary congressman we commissioned and developed at TO, and outstanding productions of The Glass Menagerie and A Raisin in the Sun that offer fresh Atlanta takes on these 20th Century classics. We celebrate our milestone 50th anniversary this year.
