The Academy Theatre believes that theatre can be of enormous use to those members of the community for whom it would not ordinarily be a resource.
In the late '70s and early '80s, the Theatre — which was already breaking new ground with company-developed work in addition to a sterling reputation for fostering the work of promising playwrights — steered its attentions away from the conventions of a mainstage, subscription repertoire and towards the needs of the community. Artistic energy now became channeled through the Theatre's outreach programs, all of which used new work and various theatrical forms to provide a creative voice for the underserved and disenfranchised. These programs are now staples of the Academy Theatre's mission.
The Academy Theatre is currently working with the DeKalb County Drug Court.
Previous programs conducted by the Human Service Program include:
- Community Outreach Program Courses
- Bullies & Bystanders Teacher Training
