Our Mission

Moonrise Theatre sparks connection and creativity through welcoming, high-quality community theatre. We stage lively, accessible productions that amplify diverse voices and stories while offering hands-on training and production experience for actors, directors, designers, and technicians of every age and background. Focusing on artistic excellence and a collaborative process, we make work that delights audiences and helps every participant grow in confidence and craft.

As a nonprofit based in Atlanta, we’re committed to a safe, inclusive space where creativity and professionalism go hand in hand. We engage the community through education, outreach, and partnerships that invite more people to take part and to love the performing arts. Ultimately, Moonrise Theatre makes theatre that matters: thoughtfully produced, passionately performed, and proudly shared.
