Community Theater in North Fulton & North Metro Atlanta Building Character Arts

Where Training Meets the Stage

Building Character Arts is a community theater group, pure and simple (no audition fees or tuition required). You will find working with us is a genuine ensemble experience, strong direction, and productions designed to challenge and celebrate every performer involved.

We’ve always believed that real performers need two things: strong training AND a place to perform. For nearly 18 years, Building Character has been one of the best-kept secrets in North Fulton for the first part. Now we’re adding the second.

What Is Building Character Arts?

We’re launching with a diverse slate of community theater productions — because theater should be for everyone:

  • Musicals for Kids — full productions featuring young performers who are ready to put their training to work on a real stage
  • Improv Comedy — fast, funny, and audience-interactive shows for performers who think on their feet
  • Musicals & Plays for Adults — because the adults in our community deserve a creative outlet too
  • Mixed-Age Ensemble Work — some stories are best told across generations, and we plan to tell a few of them

Productions will vary by season. Subscribe to our newsletter and follow us on Instagram and Facebook to be the first to know about upcoming auditions and show announcements.

Why We Built This

Honestly? Because we love theater and we love this community, and those two things together made this inevitable. We have spent nearly two decades watching this area grow, watching families pour into North Fulton, and watching a genuine hunger for the arts take root here.

We wanted to feed it with something worthy of it. Real productions. Real process. The kind of theater that reminds you why you fell in love with it in the first place.  It's another opportunity for adults who love theater to perform well locally.

And It’s a natural next step for students who’ve built real skills in our classes, in school programs, anywhere they’ve genuinely trained  and who deserve a performance environment that matches their level of commitment.

BC Arts is proof of that.

Who Is Building Character Arts For?

If you are looking for an opportunity to perform or used to perform and life got in the way, or if you’ve always wanted to try and never had the right opportunity, welcome. Community theater is one of the most joyful things a grown-up can do, and we built this for you.

If you want your child in an environment where craft is valued alongside curtain calls, where the rehearsal room is just as important as opening night, you’ve found it.
