Out of Hand Theater

Out of Hand produces the most provocative performances in Atlanta. The current offering, Shaking the Wind, is not to be missed--it's coming to a living room near you so get your tickets now. Their Creative Kids program brings theater arts training to schools in the city--this is a group that demands support, both in donations, and theater ticket buying.

While I have never personally attended an Out Of Hand Theater activity, I love the concept behind their vision statement. I believe they are a group that is diligently working towards the betterment of our future as a community. They want to educate and inform the public in ways that reach a bigger audience by providing underserved areas and people with the knowledge and skills they need to make an impact.

I love the work that Out of Hand Theater is doing to improve the community. They make the subjects of racial injustice, health inequity, anti-racism more approachable. I love the concept of gathering around food and having open conversations and recognizing that while they are uncomfortable, they are important. Keep up the great work!

Out of Hand Theater is a great organization that promotes community development and social justice. I really like that they have a Facebook group on anti-racism and raising awareness. People are able to share stories, discuss issues, & support other's within their community. Overall, you can really tell they care about helping fight for social justice and providing for/educating potentially at-risk children.

This weekend's performance of Shaking the Wind was phenomenal! The play is well written and Minka's performance is amazing. She sings as easily as most of us breathe and she sounds heavenly. Minka fully embodies each of the (at least) ten characters she plays in her one woman show. Lastly, I was a little skeptical about a "living room performsnce" but I actually loved it. Do yourself a favor and see this performance before it ends!

I was . pleasantly surprised at how good Minka was. She is captivating! If you have a chance to see the show, take it. You will not be disappointed. I will definitely attend other Out of Hand Theater performances.

"Shaking the Wind" written and performed by Minka Wiltz is a wonderful evening. I laughed and was moved and made to think a bit but mostly I was thoroughly entertained by a master storyteller. The wonderful part was it was in the cozy confines of a person's living room along with 15 or so other folks who I got to meet and talk with before and after. Out of Hand is onto something profound here. Do not miss the opportunity to experience this show. -Jayson Warner Smith

I travel from South Georgia to experience Out of Hand Theater, and neighbors clamor to join me. Creative excellence is well worth the commute. Different OOH venues are intriguing — love the engagement with actors in intimate settings. My coterie of theater-goers have all volunteered with after school programs so we admire the Out of Hand commitment to providing the arts to Atlanta kids. I’ll be back.
