about us.
a space for artists to build original work, 10 minutes at a time
ATL Original Works is a seasonal themed cabaret-style variety show with 6-10 completely original pieces ranging from scenes, spoken word, sketches, stand-up, storytelling, dance, monologues and musical numbers and performance art. We're what it would look like if a 10-minute play festival and your 7th Grade talent show had a baby.
​
But it’s more than just a consistent, reliable space for writers, directors, artists and performers to hone their craft and showcase their skills while delivering an engaging, entertaining show with a high production value for an audience. It’s also a community of hungry, scrappy makers and doers that push each other to create what’s inside of them not because it’s perfect and ready, but because the stage lights are coming up at 8pm on Saturday.
