For one night only, Essential Theatre with Out of Hand present Amina S. McIntyre's How to Make a Home at 7 Stages Theatre.
How to Make a Home follows Antonio, a single father, as he navigates Atlanta’s Continuum of Care system to secure stable housing for himself and his 10-year-old daughter. Antonio contends with the frustrations of obstacles and daily life stressors, striving to maintain hope while providing for his child. Through his story, the play offers an emotional insight into the realities of homelessness and highlights available services for those in need.

About Equitable Dinners: Dear American Women
This is a Virtual Event!
Women's rights are recent and fragile and are being erased. Our job this fall is to stop this from happening and uplift up women of color.
We invite you to gather your friends for dinner, conversation, and a short play to discuss what's at stake in this election. Together we are powerful, and we will band together to create a better world for our generation's daughters!
Out of Hand Theater will present the short play, "Dear American Women," and then participants will break out into Zoom rooms to have a conversation about this election and how together, we can make the world better for the generations behind us. We invite you to enjoy your dinner during the event.
Dear American Women
Written by: Daryl Fazio
Directed by: Ariel Fristoe, Artistic Director, Out of Hand Theater

Thriving Together Atlanta is an initiative of the Mayor's Office of Cultural Affairs, Out of Hand, the CDC Foundation, the National Black Arts Festival, and Bloomberg Philanthropies. This initiative addresses racial equity through free public art and experiences.
Join Out of Hand in partnership with the ACLU of Georgia for this year’s Shows in Homes production of Class Dismissed, a one-act play written by Atlanta native, Paris Crayton, III.
When a dedicated teacher is reprimanded for an intentionally inclusive choice, we are swept up in a brewing storm of controversy as multiple characters debate the concept of 'divisiveness', challenge the notion of identity erasure, and weave an intricate tapestry of the impact of education on individuals and society.
Thriving Together Atlanta will kickoff with Equitable Dinners at the Night of Ideas on Friday, March 1 at the Atlanta History Center. Artists, health experts, politicians, and members of the public will gather for a theatrical performance and important discussions about racism and health equity, all while enjoying a meal.
Thriving Together Atlanta was awarded a $1 million Bloomberg Philanthropies Public Art Challenge grant and is a collaboration between the City of Atlanta Mayor’s Office if Cultural Affairs, the CDC Foundation, National Black Arts Festival, and Out of Hand Theater.
Join Out of Hand, Fulton County Remembrance Coalition, and the Center for Civil and Human Rights for our National Day of Racial Healing Equitable Dinners Atlanta events. Gather over a meal for a short play and conversation that will inspire you to create meaningful change in your community!
Join Out of Hand on Sunday, November 12 from 5pm-7pm EST on Zoom for Equitable Dinners Atlanta: A Creative Celebration for Change! This event is part of our Art and Activism Equitable Dinners online series, and inspires to build community through the magic of art and expression.
Real Talk. Real Action. Real Change.
