The Alliance Theatre is a Tony Award-winning regional theater company based at the Woodruff Arts Center in midtown Atlanta. The facility features two primary stages: the 650-seat proscenium Alliance Stage and the intimate 200-seat Hertz Stage. It serves as a major hub for the development of new plays and musicals, frequently transferring productions to Broadway. The venue functions as an anchor for the Atlanta arts scene, producing a diverse annual season of classics, world premieres, and family-oriented programming. Extensive interior renovations completed in 2019 redesigned the main stage to improve sightlines and acoustic intimacy.
