Metropolitan Atlanta Theatre Awards

Our website is back up and running! Please bear with us as we continue adding content.

Since 1994, the MAT Awards honor excellence in Atlanta's theatre community. After a brief intermission, we're returning to celebrate excellence on the Atlanta stage.

Good Afternoon Everyone! Just to keep everyone updated on our progress, we are currently beta testing our forthcoming website that will include an account for each member theatre to submit productions and judges, a judging platform where the judges can cast their ballots either on computer or via mobile, and our nomination system that will be automated!
We are still aiming to kick off judging January 1st, 2027 and will be a half-season to get us back to the standard July to June season rotation. Exciting times!

Good Friday Friends! Just wanted to give everyone an update on how the MAT Awards are coming along with getting back off of the ground.

We are currently working on putting together a potential fundraising gala, as well as a new website.

The website will have an online entry process for the theatre companies to put in their productions each season and provide their affiliated judges, as well as a mobile voting system for the judges to get us away from the old dinosaur system of using an Excel spreadsheet. Thank goodness!

We are very excited about this process and will keep you updated as this progresses. Our current plan is to kick off our first season once the theatres have completed their current schedules so everyone can plan around participation.

Good evening friends! The MAT Awards is dusting itself off and starting the process of getting back off the ground! Please bear with us as we take some time to work through some logistics and some small changes to our function and we will get back to focusing on bringing theatres back together and work as a community again! We are excited and looking forward to what is in our future.
