The Alliance Theatre has announced the cast of its upcoming world premiere, A TALE OF TWO CITIES.

Saints and Sinners, an annual LGBTQ+ literary festival, will run concurrently with the The Tennessee Williams & New Orleans Literary Festival, March 24-26, 2023 for its 20th year. Founded by Paul Willis, Greg Herren, and Jean Redmann in collaboration with NO/AIDS Task Force in 2003, Saints + Sinners (SAS) began as a creative outlet to showcase the vibrant and diverse LGBTQ+ literary community and offer HIV/AIDS information.

The Tennessee Williams & New Orleans Literary Festival will return to the historic French Quarter for its 37th annual celebration of contemporary literature, theatre, New Orleans culture, and, of course, Tennessee Williams. Kicking off on Sunday, March 19 with a new twist on the beloved Stella Shouting Contest, this year's Festival is filled with new partnerships, expanded programming, and award-winning speakers, alongside fresh new voices on the literary scene.

Over four nights some of the best talent in ATL will come together to share fresh and topical stories with you.

Out of Hand Theater, working at the intersection of art, social justice, and civic engagement, has used the tools of theater to help build a more just world for 20 years. This year the theatre celebrates its 20th anniversary.

In a true return to original form, AN ILIAD at Theatrical Outfit is an intimate performance of the story of Hector and Achilles as told by one person – The Poet himself. Played by Suzi Bass Award-winner Lee Osorio, The Poet guides the audience through a tragically epic story, complete with props and the occasional help of The Muse, Deisha Oliver on cello. 

Theatrical Outfit returns to the stage with its first live production in nearly 18 months – An Iliad by Lisa Peterson and Denis O'Hare, based On Homer's The Iliad, translated by Robert Fagles.

Crescent City Stagewill continue their Free Virtual Reading Series with 'Miss Bennet: Christmas at Pemberley' by Lauren Gunderson and Margot Melcon. With award-winning actors from coast to coast, they hope you will join them for this special benefit performance with all donations going directly to Second Harvest Food Bank.

Out of Hand Theater is offering free tickets to stream their highest selling show, Conceal and Carry. Written by Sean Christopher Lewis, Conceal and Carry traces one liberal's journey to unpack his own- and his country's- complicated relationship to guns.

Out of Hand will produce Atlanta Theater Dinner, a facilitated conversation about race and equity in the Atlanta Theater community launched by an original short play created for the event. Atlanta Theater Dinner will be held on February 10, 2020 at 6:30pm in partnership with One Small Change/Both And. The evening will be hosted by The Bakery in their brand-new space in Underground Atlanta, New Square, at 76 Wall Street SW.
