Out of Hand Theater is proud to announce the opening weekend of How to Make a Home, a compelling one-act play showing March 7- May 18, 2025. Presented in partnership with Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens and Partners for HOME, this groundbreaking production explores the realities of homelessness through the eyes of Antonio, a single father striving to secure stable housing for himself and his 10-year-old daughter.

Performances will be held in intimate living room settings across metro Atlanta as part of Out of Hand Theater’s Shows in Homes series. These small-scale, arts-based community productions foster meaningful dialogue, pairing theater with cocktail receptions and conversations with local experts about the issues at hand.

"’How to Make a Home’ takes an honest, heartfelt look at the struggles many face in Atlanta’s Continuum of Care system,” said Ariel Fristoe, Out of Hand Artistic Director. “Our goal is to not only tell Antonio’s story but also to spark action and awareness around housing insecurity in our community.”

About the Play:
Antonio strives to maintain hope as he navigates Atlanta’s Continuum of Care system, trying to secure stable housing for himself and his 10-year-old daughter. How to Make a Home sheds light on the realities of homelessness and the services available for those in need.
