Every year at ATA festivals are held that give up and coming directors and playwrights their needed experience of producing works of art in a repertory venue.
• Summer Director's Festival: 6-8 new directors are given a chance to direct a dramatic or comedic play of a naturalistic format.
• Winter Playwright's Festival: 6-8 new playwrights are given a chance at having their play produced at ATA. We accept dramas or comedies of a naturalistic format.
