The Actors Theatre Workshop is an award-winning non-profit theatre, community center and educational institution that teaches innovative educational techniques and theatre principles to adults and children from all walks of life; produces classical and contemporary plays and documentary films that maintain the highest artistic standards; and develops new dramatic works that examine the social issues of the day. ATW was founded over three decades ago in a studio on Manhattan’s Upper West Side. In 1990, with an outpouring of public and private support, ATW opened its doors to its theatre complex and performance space in Chelsea.
