OUT OF HAND THEATER INC

Since 2001, Out of Hand has collaborated with dozens of community partners to produce programs that combine art to open hearts, information to open minds, and conversation to inspire action. Our programs include Equitable Dinners, Shows in Homes, Community Collaborations, Creative Kids, and the Community Impact Lab. All our programs are based on addressing Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s triple evils of war, poverty, and racism, and they take place in homes, schools, businesses, houses of worship, public spaces, and on Zoom.

We believe the arts are essential to a healthy, connected society. They inspire empathy, spark conversation, and help us see one another more clearly. Through our productions, partnerships, and community programs, we use theater as a tool for learning, healing, and meaningful dialogue that brings stories to life in living rooms, classrooms, and public spaces across Atlanta.

Our commitment to the arts is rooted in the belief that creative expression can move hearts and change minds. It’s not just about performance : it’s about building understanding, deepening connection, and imagining a better world together.

In the words of U.S. Congressman John Lewis, “Without the arts, without music, without dance, without drama, without photography, the civil rights movement would have been like a bird without wings”.
