Artistic Director, Alliance Theatre
Christopher Moses has worked in professional theatre for 20 years and became the Alliance Theatre’s Jennings Hertz Artistic Director in 2023. In recognition of his leadership and community impact, he received the Governor’s Award for the Arts and Humanities and was named one of Atlanta’s most influential leaders by Atlanta Magazine and Georgia Trend in 2024.
Chris previously led the Alliance’s Education Department, which included the nationally recognized Alliance Theatre Institute, Theatre for Youth & Families, and the Acting Program.
Under his leadership, these programs became essential tools for advancing Atlanta’s civic agenda through meaningful partnerships with social service organizations citywide. He spearheaded the launch of several groundbreaking initiatives, including the Kathy & Ken Bernhardt Theatre for the Very Young, offering interactive theatrical experiences for children from birth to five years old; the Alliance Teen Ensemble, which stages world premiere plays created for and by teens; and Alliance@work, a professional development initiative that uses theatre to foster civility and collaboration in workplaces. Chris has overseen the production of numerous world premiere plays, including Water for Elephants and Maybe Happy Ending (both now on Broadway). Each year, the Alliance serves over 150,000 people through its productions and extensive educational programs. Christopher Moses brings two decades of experience in the arts and a track record of pioneering community-based programs at the Alliance Theatre that use creative engagement to promote social connection, making him uniquely positioned to speak to the role of the arts in advancing social prescribing.
