LIVE FROM THE BILL NUNN BLACK BOX
Five members of our Young Artist Ensemble have each written their own 10 minute play to bring to the stage. In ATC fashion, the group has written and selected songs that accentuate the themes of their pieces to weave throughout the production. This show will stream LIVE on Saturday, May 8th at 7PM!
ATC REALITY SERIES
This hilarious fake behind-the-scenes look at ATC will have viewers roaring with laughter. Look for weekly episodes to start premiering in May. This series may be picked up for a second season!
RECENT EVENTS
THE REVOLUTION
Watch on YouTube!
This 20-minute ATC-style high-energy stage production will transport you to The Bill Nunn Black Box Theater where these brave young artists take the stage.
“You will not be able to plug in, turn on and cop out… the revolution will not be televised.” Inspired by these words from Gil Scott-Heron, ATC’s collection of spoken word, song, and dance demands that viewers take the revolution from their screen to the streets. The ATC artists share their experiences as young Black Americans and issue a strong call to action: “You need to listen, then do.”
ACT 33
Watch on YouTube!
On January 16th, ATC partnered with Words Without Walls to present a reading of ACT 33; a new play written by the Juvenile Creative Writing Class at the Allegheny County Jail. The reading was followed by a panel discussion.
The play is named for ACT 33 which allows a juvenile defendant to be charged as an adult because the alleged crime meets certain criteria.
This writing project was led by Mike Bennett through Words Without Walls. The reading is directed by Alona Williams.
