WHO WE ARE

Theatre Macon, founded in 1986, offers professional-quality, affordable theatrical productions, opportunities for community members to act and assist in play production, and showcases new plays in line with modern drama trends. Additionally, it provides education and training in performance, playwriting, and production techniques, along with apprenticeship opportunities in community theatre operations.

​

Located in historic Macon, Georgia, Theatre Macon operates two theaters in the old Ritz Movie Theater building downtown on Cherry Street, offering two of the region's most intimate performance venues. The Chris R. Sheridan MainStage Theatre, located on the main floor of our building, opened in 1995 and has a seating capacity of 220.

 

The newest additions to our theatre complex opened in 2025. The Annie & Sammy Dame Studio Theatre located on the second floor of our building is a flexible blackbox style space that has a seating capacity up to 50. Each production designed to create a new experience from the moment you walk through its doors. The Costume Shop & Warehouse is located just a couple of doors down and is the new home of our costume construction and storage site

​

Annually, we produce at least nine full-length productions to include thought-provoking plays and entertaining musicals. Auditions and technical positions are posted on our website under Get Involved and are open to the public.

YOUTH ARTISTS'

Theatre Macon Youth Artists' Company, established in 1988, offers Middle Georgia youth the chance to hone their talents in theatre arts. The company stages two full-length productions annually with open auditions for all. Youth ages 8-18 from public, private, or homeschool settings are invited to participate. In 2019, the Youth Actors' Company was rebranded the Youth Artists' Company to reflect its expanded inclusion of various artists, comprising actors, technicians, musicians, and more.

EDUCATION

Theatre Macon Education, established in 2020, aims to enhance the knowledge of theatre arts and related fields within our community. Our programming caters to both adults and youth, offering a safe space for learning and exploration. Theatre Macon Education provides courses covering theatre performance, tech, and other theatre adjacent areas. Each summer, the Theatre Macon Academy provides 5-day intensives for young performers to grow their expertise in theatre education and production.  

​

In 2025, Theatre Macon For Young Audiences was established. Partnering with the Piedmont Grand Opera House's Grand Kids Series, Theatre Macon now produces two Theatre for Young Audiences performances which debut at the Grand Opera House and then tour around the state of Georgia, helping to expand theatrical opportunities for young people in our area and other rural parts of the state of Georgia.
