The Actors Theatre Workshop is an established pioneer in non-profit theatre committed to producing classical and contemporary plays, developing new dramatic works, training and developing actors, writers and directors while making a difference in the lives of homeless children and the community at large.

Description and/or History:
ATW was founded over two decades ago in a studio on Manhattan's upper west side. In 1990, with an outpouring of public and private support, ATW built a new theatre complex and performance space in Chelsea. Thurman E. Scott, ATW's Artistic Director, Executive Producer and Founder, is a widely acknowledged expert of artistic project development. As a director/producer, he creates new products for stage, television and film, from concept to final production. Mr. Scott is an innovator of award-winning arts curriculum and programs for professional artistic training as well as public service to culturally under-served communities.
For the past decade, ATW has flourished as an artistic leader in the field, producing award-winning programs and productions addressing the enormous cultural challenges of childhood poverty and inclusive community building, maintaining high artistic training standards, and developing an organization of artistic merit that has proven itself worthy of public, private and civic support.
