BRave new work

Connect - Develop - Produce

Abingdon Theatre Company is dedicated to developing and producing brave, new American work by emerging and established artists.

The company provides a safe home where playwrights, directors and actors can collaborate within a supportive and nurturing environment. We search for stories about the human experience that reflect our social, political, historical and cultural diversity. We are acutely aware of the theatre’s power to unite disparate population groups through stories about common human interests, and we strive to shed light on a variety of perspectives.

  • “I champion new work development with Abingdon Theatre Company because now more than ever, we need these new voices. These artists must respond to the world we now inhabit.”

    —Two-Time Tony Award Winner Judy Kaye

  • "Abingdon consistently seeks to discover and nurture new, vital artists who expand and deepen our exploration of theatre"

    —Dawn Chiang, Lighting Designer

  • “Abingdon Theatre Company has proven their mission statement true by producing a successful run of my play that’s not only given it a continued life but also opened doors for me as an artist”

    —Dave Droxler, Playwright & Actor of ATC’s 30th Season Mainstage ROBIN & ME

  • “I believe in the amount of undiscovered talent that is out there and just waiting for that one opportunity. I’ve always admired how the incredible ATC team brings the most inspiring and amazing new talent to the spotlight. I’ll forever be grateful for it.”

    —Ilda Mason, Actress; 29th Season Artist-in-Residence

  • “I’ve seen first-hand how ATC’s care and attention assists writers in the development of new work. Writers can trust ATC with their freshest and most delicate ideas, and be surrounded by artists who are wholly committed to honoring that work. New plays/musicals need time and space to be heard and explored, and ATC is committed to that work!”
