Atlanta actor turns award-winning playwright with A Thousand Circlets

Essential Theatre is the longest-running theatre exclusively dedicated to supporting the work of Georgia playwrights. Our mission is to nurture and produce new works by Georgia playwrights and to enrich our audience’s experience by actively engaging them in the process.

Since the first Essential Play Festival in 1999, we’ve premiered or presented 48 new works by 39 different Georgia playwrights, many of which have gone on to publication and future productions around the country. Our vision is a thriving, dynamic American theatre community in which Georgia playwrights are a recognized and celebrated part.
