I saw BY THE WAY, MEET VERA STARK. It made me cringe. And it made me laugh. It’s a glimpse into a moment in history - American history. But, I don’t think this play could be more contemporary. Of course, racism still does and will always exist in some form somewhere. But, Lynn Nottage delivers that ugly truth with a sense of humor and poetry that seems fresh, like we’ve come out on the other side. I remember watching Arthur Treacher embrace and comfort a tearful Eartha Kit. I was too young to understand, but still I could feel this raw emotion clashing with the bright circus colors of The Mike Douglas Show. Vera Stark is about the different roles she played in life and on the stage. And maybe that we all do that. I loved the play. But man, I loved the production from the very first moment. Especially the first moment.

Disappointing, probably given the lack of support for Performing Arts in Atlanta. Went for every show in the 2014 season and liked 2 at the most. Bull Durham and another, which Ive forgotten. Aside from the outside of the building, the theatre is pretty basic, and the vibe (audience, etc,) seemed extremely casual vs the more formal feel that other large cities (and even small cities,) maintain. I thought that it was respectfully appropriate to dress in formal attire when attending a performing arts venue and not munch on potato chips loudly.. its okay in Atlanta, though? 3 stars vs 2- the actors are talented and the front-line staff and volunteers are great, However, this review is not about the shows themselves, yet the overall operation of the Alliance theatre. And for a city the size of Atlanta, its disappointing.

I love this theater most people do not even realize it is there, because it is thought to be a part of the High Museum. This theater is a lot more intimate than the Fox, but not too small that you cannot enjoy a major production! I was able to see the Color Purple here a few years ago and it was great, the intimate stage made us feel as if we were part of the play. I absolutely adore this theater and I love the location considering it is convenient to both Marta, and great nearby restaurants. While you are there take advantage and cross the courtyard and check out the High Museum!

The Alliance Theatre is one of my favorite theaters in Atlanta. Great selection of plays and wonderful ushers. Love that they have a bar and concessions as well. Its easy to find a place to park and overall you will have a great experience.

My husband and I visit this place every once in a while as there are wonderful plays. There are always many other visitors. Their emotional reaction to the performance is as worthy as the performance itself, at least for me.

One of the best, underrated performing arts venues in Atlanta. I had a season pass a few years back and enjoyed all of the shows that I went to see. All of the shows are originals, so this is always something unique!

I took acting classes here ounce and the director/teacher there was nice and respectful. Ive also seen plays there with my granddad and it was a great experience. If you can, you should take classes here.

Amazing place, Ive been there for acting classes for my son. Parking is expensive but you can park outside and use the park mobile app and pay only $4 for 2 hours.
