About Us
Our Story
Founded in the early 90s by Sonja Hammer, our company was born out of a deep love for theater and the arts. Sonja was a passionate playwright and producer who brought original plays and musicals to life across Atlanta and Marietta, Georgia. Her work not only entertained but also created opportunities for community members to see themselves on stage and experience the transformative power of live performance.
Continuing the Legacy
Today, that legacy is carried on by her daughter, Garrika Jones — a professional actor, teaching artist, and educator with over 20 years of stage experience. Garrika has dedicated her career to ensuring that theater is accessible, meaningful, and inspiring for all.
Our Mission
We are committed to bringing quality, professional theater into schools and communities. Our focus is on giving inner-city youth and adults the chance to experience true exposure to the arts while providing a platform where creativity can thrive. Through workshops, intensives, and original programming, we aim to:
- Inspire confidence and imagination
- Build collaboration and community
- Provide authentic theater experiences that connect the classroom to the stage
Why We Do It
We believe everyone deserves the chance to step into the spotlight — to tell their stories, build their artistry, and discover the joy of performance. Whether in a school gymnasium, a community center, or a black box theater, our goal is to create spaces where creativity comes to life.
