Synchronicity scopes out new real estate after years in midtown -- considers all options

A mainstay of Atlanta's theater community for almost 30 years, Synchronicity Theatre is now searching for a new performing space. According to Rachel May, the company's co-founder and producing artistic director, the landlord of Midtown's One Peachtree Pointe, Dewberry Capital Corp, decided earlier this year not to renew the company's lease. The decision has forced the acclaimed troupe to consider all options as it looks toward its next chapter.

Synchronicity has called the Midtown location home for the bulk of its run, becoming a fixture in the city's cultural landscape. May emphasized that the company is not shutting down, but rather embarking on a deliberate search for a new venue that fits its artistic and financial needs. She noted that the current space has served them well, but the changing real estate market and the landlord's plans for the building have made relocation necessary.

The leadership is now weighing several possibilities. These range from finding another traditional theater space in a different part of the city to exploring more unconventional venues. May stated that the company is open to partnerships with other organizations or even building a new space from the ground up if the right opportunity arises. The priority is securing a location that maintains Synchronicity's connection to its audience while allowing for continued growth.

Synchronicity is known for its focus on plays by women and non-binary writers, as well as its commitment to community engagement. The search for a new home comes at a time when many performing arts groups are re-evaluating their physical footprints. May expressed confidence that the company will find a suitable home and continue its mission for decades to come. She described the move not as an ending, but as a necessary evolution for an organization that has always adapted to survive and thrive.
