As an actress or a patron of the arts the Alliance always leaves me wanting more. Classes with Sharon Foote are always a joy and although I didn't like him initially the other male teacher whose name I can't recall grew on me as well. The performances for kids are always a great way to expose little ones to theater in a fun and interactive way.

This was the first time I've been to the Alliance Theatre in years and it is just as amazing as I remembered. There isn't a bad seat in the house and the theater itself is beautiful. I had such a great time that when I got to the lobby after the show (Ride the Cyclone - you should definitely see it if you can), I immediately looked to see what the next show was and when. I can't wait to come back!

The new Coca-Cola Stage At Alliance Theatre is an elegant shining star added to Atlanta s art scene. The curvature of the rich wood design is intriguing. There is an intimacy with the stage from every and angle and individual seat. The acoustics are mesmerizing once you realize there are zero microphones. Ever After was the perfect opening musical to showcase Its fine qualities. Bravo!

We took our one year old to the theatre for the very young performance of hey Willy, see the pyramids . It was awesome and she loved it and was engaged for the whole 30 minutes. The building is a bit of a maze so make sure you ask for help finding the right theatre.

I love to support the arts. Live theater is my fav. I try and catch 2 shows a season at TAT. 1 of the 2 always being
"A Christmas Carole". Nothing can beat
"This boy is Ignorance. This girl is Want. Beware of them both, and all of their degree, but most of all beware this boy, for on his brow I see that written which is Doom, unless the writing be erased. Deny it!" That is just fantastic! Holds true in todays times.

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.

One of the best regional theatre companies in the US. Have seen some great shows that ought to be on Broadway like maybe happy ending & Becoming Nancy . The new Coca Cola stage has great sight lines & amazing acoustics. Their black box space is excellent too.

I love that they have productions especially for young children. Their Theater for Very Young is amazing if you have a really little child, and we sat through a more traditional play based on a children's book at the Hertz theater and that was amazing too.

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 I've 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.

Beautiful renovated space. Seats were very comfortable with plenty of space. We were attending Ever After and even though our seats were far right our view was not cut off at all. The staging of the performance was fantastic. Excellent show for kids and adults. Look forward to future performances in this great space.

Most professional theater company in Atlanta. Often the pilot for shows that hit Broadway or national tours. Of course, sometimes a play or even a season can be a bomb. But for the last few years they have been quite strong.

Goodnight Tyler, Awesome! My fiance and I enjoyed ourselves! B.J. Tindal, evoked so many emotions in this dramatic, tragic, yet comedic show! The death and quest of Tyler brings up a less thought about perspective in a very controversial issue. He maintained a perfect balance between the tragedy and comedy. The Alliance Theater was nice! A great date night!
