ABOUT ATL

OUR HISTORY

Previously known as Audacity Productions (1999-2006), the company participated in many Dallas area fests such as the Festival of Independent Theatres and Out of the Loop, represented north Texas at the New York International Fringe Festival multiple times, and produced works for Austin's FronteraFest as well as the Mind Over Money Theatrical Festival. As Audacity Productions we mounted over 50 plays - large and small - over our nearly eight years. The leaders of this little theatre absorbed a lot, often learning by doing, from this earlier garage-band-sized Audacity.

Audacity Productions filed articles of dissolution in the summer of 2006, when Artistic Director Brad McEntire headed off for more than a year abroad, living and working primarily in Hong Kong. McEntire returned to the DFW Metroplex and assembled a group of brave like-minded artists including Jeff Swearingen, Cassidy Crown, Ruth Engel and Jeff Hernandez. The group decided to take Audacity up a notch from the considerable benchmarks made in the past. Audacity Productions was the pilot program, so to speak, for the new Audacity Theatre Lab.

OUR MISSION

Audacity Theatre Lab is dedicated to the development and production of dynamic new works for the stage. Whether bold new interpretations of existing works or the incubation and exploration of original works by emerging playwrights, Audacity seeks to present relevant, engaging stories that challenge and enrich our cultural community.
