December 2025:
Our artistic director was interviewed by the La Brothers (Tom Ecobelli and Piet Marino) for the Half Alive podcast. It was a lot of fun. They talked about Atlanta Dramatists, playwriting, screenwriting, and some more stuff. It was a blast.
The Solidarity Project: A Celebration of Historical Nonviolent Resistance
Atlanta Dramatists is producing “The Solidarity Project: A Celebration of Historical Nonviolent Resistance”. We seek plays ranging from 10 minutes to 30 minutes which illustrate nonviolent resistance throughout history and all over the world. For the purposes of this project, scripts should be inspired by events that occurred prior to 2015. The focus of this festival is history, and the overall themes will be hope and empowerment. Scripts may be historically accurate, historical fiction, historical fantasy, etc. provided they are inspired by actual events.
The resistance depicted must be non-violent, but the play may contain violence in other aspects, such as if there were a violent reaction to a non-violent protest. Atlanta Dramatists is open to the use of music, puppetry, and dance as well as traditional “straight plays.” No projections or elaborate sets; this is a festival of plays that will all share the same set, though chairs, benches, blocks, and tables may be added or removed between pieces.
Each script may utilize up to 5 actors. Unless ethnic specificity is vital to the plot, please allow for flexible yet diverse casting.
Playwrights will receive royalties for the scripts selected. Performances will be at The Academy Theatre in Hapeville, GA, in 2026. (There is a chance the show will tour to other venues, as well.) Playwrights will receive 2 comp tickets. Playwrights may submit up to two scripts each. Submission deadline: December 31, 2025.
