Actors Express Information

Actor's Express Theatre offers original voices and new perspectives that reflect Atlanta's diverse and evolving community. "...by far the gutsiest theatre in the city." Southern Voice "...the city's most vital theatrical venue." Creative Loafing Actor's Express is one of the most remarkable and daring theatre companies in the Southeast. Recently cited as "the city's most vital theatrical venue" (Creative Loafing), Actor's Express (AE) has found and filled an important niche in Atlanta's arts community as a place for high quality theatre and theatre education. In all, Actor's Express has received over 100 citations since its inception in 1988 for its artistic excellence including: "Best Director" for Jasson Minadakis (Atlanta Journal-Constitution and Creative Loafing, 2004); "Best Production of 2005" for BUG, (Atlanta Journal-Constitution); and "Best Theatre Company" (Creative Loafing, 2005 and Southern Voice, 2004 & 2005). We firmly believe the relevance and vitality of the American theater depends upon a continual infusion of new work and the nurturing of new playwrights. New plays are the lifeblood of theatre, and playwrights are the chroniclers, critics, and prophets of our times. These writers bring us important messages about our world, the way we live, love, and sacrifice, and provide new insights into our humanity. Actor's Express is committed to championing the next great American play.
