Theater Emory is the producing affiliate of Theater Studies within the Department of Theater and Dance at Emory University. Theater Emory, offering performances during the academic school years since the early 1980s, primarily utilizes and showcases student actors in its Fall and Spring productions. However, acting professionals are invited to audition for certain roles where appropriate.

When professional actors are included in the Theater’s productions, they are encouraged to take part in group activities with students and faculty, including special skills workshops, text study sessions, group warm-ups, and post-production activities.

Theater Emory seasons, typically four productions, vary greatly from year to year focusing on: the current interests of students and faculty; central themes and urgent current issues; diverse styles, periods, and authors; opportunities to work with visiting artists; and the creation of new works.
