Happy Birthday ATC!
2019 marks the ATC's 50th anniversary, and we've been celebrating all year: in grand theatrical style by staging two major American classics and in eclectic theatrical style with a dark comedy paired with improv.
Now it's time to celebrate in ostentatious theatrical style
with a dress-to-impress-and-dance-'til-you-drop PARTY!
If that sounds like your kind of fun, please join us on the 30th of November 2019, in our beloved Warehouse. Starting at 11:00 p.m., our DJs will set the dance floor on fire, and the bar will keep you refreshed.
REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED as space is limited, so please let us know you'd like to come by registering here.
Festive attire is encouraged. We're celebrating half a century -- let's do this thing in style!
We started the year of celebrations off right with a whopper of a classic!
|
A Streetcar Named Desire, which played March 5-9 at Le Jacques Franck in St. Gilles, was a tremendous success -- and a labor of love for everyone involved. Be sure to visit the Streetcar page in our "Past Productions" section where you can see loads of photos, find out who participated on and off stage, and re-live the journey!

The year of celebrations continued in May with a brand new tradition:
|
An evening out combining theater and improv, nibbles and drinks, and all-around fun and conviviality! |
|
And we topped off the theatrical celebrations by reviving the first-ever play produced by the ATC exactly 50 years ago, to the month!
This Edward Albee classic appeared 8-12 October
at the Petit Théâtre Mercelis in Ixelles
Resounding praise from our audiences and an entirely sold-out run allow us to declare this landmark production a great success. Please visit the Virginia Woolf page in the past productions section to browse loads of photos of this powerfully acted, gorgeously staged play -- by all accounts worthy of a half-century anniversary celebration.
You can also follow us on Facebook for all the latest updates as well as a series of glances back in time. Through the end of 2019 "The 50th anniversary diaries" are exploring five decades of ATC history with photos, reflections, and conversations about the long and winding ATC road and its many, many travellers.
The American Theatre Company (ATC) has been bringing American theater to Brussels for 50 years.
From serious drama to light comedy, from intimate studio productions to main stage classics and musicals, the ATC not only delights audiences with outstanding productions, but also provides a home for the international theatrical talent living in or just passing through Brussels: actors, directors, make-up artists, technicians, set designers…
The ATC is a frequent award winner at the annual Festival of European Anglophone Theatrical Societies (FEATS) competitions, and is always looking for fresh on- or off-stage talent, whether experienced or not.
In addition to offering two theatrical productions per season, the ATC is the creator of Studio Nights, an informal, often experimental entertainment format designed to be an excellent training ground for new talent as well as a fun and engaging night out for audiences.
Often in collaboration with other Anglophone theater groups in Belgium, the ATC periodically hosts workshops on improv comedy, lighting, make-up, set-building, etc.
