Atlanta Dramatists was founded in 2023 as a writing development organization for playwrights, screenwriters, and other creative writers. We are based in Atlanta, Georgia, but we have writers from around the globe, thanks to Zoom and other technological innovations. We typically schedule two readings a month - one evening devoted to a single writer (either a full-length or a collection of shorts), and one evening of short pieces by up to 6 writers. We can meet on Zoom or live in the Atlanta region, depending on writer preference. For more information, please sign up for our mailing list below

Mission Statement (Full): We are dedicated to fostering a vibrant community of artists and audiences in Atlanta and beyond. Our mission is to cultivate a dynamic environment for new play development, where creativity flourishes, important questions are asked, and diverse voices are celebrated. We are committed to providing a safe and inclusive space, free from harassment and bullying, where all individuals can express themselves freely and collaborate without fear. Through our work, we strive to uplift marginalized and multi-generational voices and to promote meaningful dialogue that reflects the rich tapestry of our society. Together, we aspire to make a positive impact on our community and beyond through the transformative power of theatre.
