Atlanta Micro-Theater
Atlanta Micro-Theater (AMT) showcases original one-act plays written, directed, and performed by Southern-based creatives. These plays are a low barrier way for writers, directors and actors to showcase their talents to the public with more ease and speed than traditional long format theater, short films or feature films. A community needs story-tellers to share and preserve their culture. AMT allows more people to partake and enjoy the talents of southern creatives.

How AMT Works
Running time for each play is 15 minutes plus a 5 minute Q&A with the cast and crew after the show. Both shows will be performed simultaneously in separate rooms in the venue. Each show will be performed multiple times throughout the night with a 10 minute break in between performances. Seating for each performance is limited in order to maintain an up close and personal experience.
