WHO WE ARE
Out of Box Theatre is an independent professional theatre company based in Marietta, Georgia.
We bring together experienced theatre artists, emerging talent, and adventurous audiences to create work that is thoughtful, daring, and alive. We believe excellent theatre does not require an enormous building or an unnecessarily inflated budget. It requires strong artists, meaningful stories, careful choices, and a room full of people willing to experience something together.
Our artists are paid for their work, and we remain committed to creating opportunities where actors, directors, designers, writers, teachers, comedians, musicians, and other creative people are respected and supported.
WHAT WE BELIEVE
Theatre is more than entertainment.
It connects us.
It can express what is difficult to say, introduce us to lives beyond our own, challenge what we think we know, and begin conversations we did not realize we needed. It can make us laugh, unsettle us, surprise us, and remind us that we are not alone.
WHAT WE DO
Produce
We produce intimate theatrical experiences with a focus on compelling storytelling, professional artistry, and plays that take creative and emotional risks.
Develop
We create opportunities for artists and community members to learn, experiment, build skills, and explore new ideas through classes, workshops, readings, and creative development.
Gather
We bring people together for theatre, comedy, music, conversation, and collaborative events in a space where audiences and artists can genuinely connect.
OUR STORY
Out of Box Theatre was founded by Carolyn Choe in 2012 with a straightforward idea: produce excellent theatre through imagination, resourcefulness, and responsible financial choices.
From the beginning, Out of Box has been a home for artists and stories willing to step beyond the expected. Over the years, the company has produced a wide range of plays, welcomed hundreds of performers and creative collaborators, and built lasting relationships with audiences throughout Metro Atlanta.
The shape of the company has evolved, but its purpose remains the same: to make meaningful work, support artists, take creative chances, and create a place where people feel connected.
THE CREATOR'S DEN
Today, Out of Box Theatre makes its home inside The Creator's Den at the Artisan Resource Center in Marietta.
It reflects the same spirit that has guided Out of Box from the beginning: use what we have wisely, welcome bold ideas, bring creative people together, and make room for something unexpected to happen.
