Our Mission
Starting the conversations that matter.
Our Core Values
- We tell consistently high-quality, soul-stirring stories, often from great classic and contemporary literature, with themes that are relevant and revelatory.
- We have a deep appreciation for history, which is manifested in some of the stories we tell, in a landmark building, in the heart of Atlanta, in the American South.
- We create a safe and comfortable atmosphere for our diverse audiences to reflect on, respond to, and connect through the stories we tell.
- We are intentional about providing opportunities for professional Atlanta-based actors and artists to work and excel.
- As the country’s first LEED-certified theatre, we create an environmentally-friendly place to enjoy and produce events.
- We make visiting, performing and working at Theatrical Outfit a remarkable and rewarding experience.

Theatrical Outfit at the Balzer Theater at Herren’s — the country’s first LEED-certified “green” theater
Our stories come to life on stage at the Balzer Theater at Herren's - a 15,000-square-foot, 200-seat, environmentally-friendly theater and the country's first to receive a Silver LEED certification. Our theater is ADA-compliant and offers administrative office space, two rehearsal rooms, dressing rooms that meet Actor Equity Association (AEA) standards, a box office and lobby.
In 2005, after completing the renovation of our historical building, the Balzer Theater received the Urban Land Institute’s Project of Excellence Award for its adaptive reuse of a historic structure in an urban setting and the implementation of innovative design features. The Balzer Theater at Herren’s is designated as a historical site by the League of Historic American Theatres.
Today, Theatrical Outfit serves as a national model for environmentally sound and healthy design and practices.
