Our Mission

At ATARS, we are dedicated to the art of African storytelling, where theatre transcends entertainment and becomes an immersive, soul-stirring experience. Our productions are a celebration of African heritage, blending rhythmic music, mesmerizing dance, and evocative drama to create a spectacle of unparalleled grandeur. We breathe life into the richness of African theater, captivating audiences with its elegance, vibrancy, and authenticity. 

Yet, our vision extends beyond entertainment. ATARS is a conduit of knowledge, illuminating Africa’s profound history, cultural ethos, and timeless traditions. Through our performances, we weave narratives that explore the intersections of culture, identity, and legacy fostering a deeper understanding of Africa’s impact and enduring influence across all facets of human endeavors.  

Moreover, ATARS stands as a beacon for artists of African descent. It also offers a prestigious platform of artistic expression to all creatives in the heart of the entertainment industry. We empower creatives to share their artistry, amplify their voices, and uphold the traditions of African theatre on a global stage. Through our unwavering commitment, we do not merely preserve African theater—we elevate, honor, and ensure its resonance for generations to come

Who Are We

We are a collective of passionate artists dedicated to bringing the richness of African theatre to the heart of Los Angeles. More than just performers, we are storytellers, culture-bearers, and visionaries committed to amplifying the voices of an underrepresented community in the arts. Through our work, we strive to create a space where African narratives are not only told but celebrated, offering audiences an immersive experience of the continent’s theatrical brilliance. 

While our mission is to produce and present authentic African plays, we welcome actors, directors, writers, dancers, singers, musicians, and theatre practitioners of all backgrounds—African and non-African alike. We believe that diversity is the cornerstone of creativity, and by embracing a broad spectrum of artistic talent, we enrich the cultural fabric of Hollywood and California at large. We invite artists and supporters to join us in shaping a movement—one that not only showcases African storytelling but also fosters inclusivity, artistic collaboration, and a more vibrant, representative entertainment industry.
