The last few years have been a challenge and yet, Dad’s Garage is still doing what we do best: bringing laughter to Atlanta. We are operating at full capacity with our regular programming.

But our work goes well beyond the stage, and this is what we’re asking you to invest in. Dad’s Garage is a 501(c)3 nonprofit, which means that our earnings go towards supporting our programming and fulfilling our mission. Closing the theatre during COVID encouraged us to look beyond our walls to use improv to create community, and the result was these community partnerships and programs:

  • Developing “The Power of Yes, And...: Improv for Dementia Caregivers”

  • A partnership with the American Institute of Stuttering 

  • Increasing water access awareness with the Metropolitan North Georgia Water Planning District

  • Improv for Seniors Workshops to foster community with an often-isolated population

  • Encouraging vaccination with the CDC and Georgia Public Health

  • Working with children and teens to use improv to increase communication skills and resiliency

  • Bringing our children’s programming to Camp Southern Ground

  • Using our space as a polling location (Support the candidate who supports nonprofit arts and community investment, please!)

  • Developing a teen improv conservatory program

 And that’s all on top of the community and joy we bring to our audience! We have a proven track record using improv to make a difference.

TL;DR - We’re very fun and cool and using our powers for good. Help a theatre out?

Did you know that Dad's Garage is a 501(c)3 nonprofit?

This means we're dependent on the support of our community and funders to stay in (show) business. (Ticket sales cover only a fraction of our budget!) Your donation to Dad’s Garage supports community engagement (did you know we’re a polling place?), educational outreach (at all ages), and the general belief that life deserves to include pleasure (outrageous)!

We are a thriving part of the arts community in one of the least-funded states in the country, and let’s be honest: it’s been a challenging few years. Help us prove that art and laughter are valued commodities! (A lingering case of the warm fuzzies accompanies all donations, too.) Plus, being a 501(c)3 also means your donations are tax-deductible!

Why Support Dad’s Garage?

Because you love us! But wait, let’s explore that for a moment — we take pride in the fact that Dad’s Garage can provide high quality, thoughtful, invigorating entertainment night after night. We believe the special joy of live entertainment should be accessible to everyone, and we work hard to keep our ticket prices low. Each show is unique, and each show creates its own momentary community. And if sharing joy isn’t love, what is?
