Open since 1947, and initially lead by Atlanta's theater matriarch Mary Nell Santacroce, Drama Tech is Atlanta's oldest continously running theatre. The troupe's longest tenure was a 24-year residence (1968 to 1992) in a former church on the corner of Ferst Drive at Hemphill Ave, on the Georgia Tech Campus. For almost as long, Drama Tech was headed by Director and Georgia Tech instructor, Greg Abbott, from 1984 until his untimely death in 2006.

  While a student at Georgia Tech, I was a frequent performer at Drama Tech. My 17 credits there put me 3rd in the Top Ten Cast list of actors at Drama Tech.

After a long residence in the church, Drama Tech moved into a brand new black box theater in the new Ferst Center for the Arts. I performed in two productions there in their inaugural season in the new space.

These days I get back to Drama Tech about once a year now to perform in their annual Black Box Improv & Comedy festivals (2005, 2006, 2008, 2009, 2010).
