Alliance Theatre: Atlanta's Premier Live Theater Destination
The Alliance Theatre is not simply a venue — it is the cultural heart of Atlanta's performing arts scene. Housed inside the Woodruff Arts Center at 1280 Peachtree Street NE in Midtown Atlanta, the Alliance Theatre has been the city's flagship professional theater since 1968. It is the largest regional theater in the Southeast, drawing well over 165,000 audience members each season across its two performance spaces: the main Coca-Cola Stage and the intimate Hertz Stage.
The Alliance Theatre earned its national reputation through decades of world-premiere productions, Tony Award recognition, and a deep commitment to storytelling that reflects and challenges the Atlanta community. Productions developed here have gone on to Broadway, and the theater continues to attract top-tier directors, designers, and performers. When you walk into the Alliance, you are stepping into a space that has shaped American theater — not just Atlanta theater.
The Woodruff Arts Center campus places the Alliance Theatre alongside the High Museum of Art and the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, creating one of the most concentrated arts districts in the American South. Midtown Atlanta surrounds it with walkable dining, hotels, and direct access to the Arts Center MARTA station on the Gold and Red lines, making the venue one of the most accessible in the city. Parking is available in the Woodruff Arts Center deck, and the neighborhood rewards arriving early with some of Atlanta's best pre-show dining options on and around Peachtree Street.
A Christmas Carol Takes the Stage
Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol is one of the most performed theatrical works in the English-speaking world, and for good reason — its story of Ebenezer Scrooge's supernatural journey through Christmas Past, Present, and Yet to Come speaks directly to the themes of empathy, community, and second chances that define the holiday season. The Alliance Theatre's staging of this classic is an Atlanta holiday institution, bringing Dickens' Victorian London to vivid life through professional design, accomplished acting, and the full theatrical resources of one of the Southeast's premier stages.
