The ATC returns for it’s 33rd consecutive year of “wow”-ing Savannah audiences. If you’ve never attended, this is the perfect year. With a full bar inside Victory North, plus ample parking nearby, it’s so easy to get to the venue. 2026 Contestants include Broadway superstars, award-winning Jazz singers, a top 6 contestant from American Idol season 7 (you can watch him sing with Cynthia Erivo and Katy Perry on youtube), plus internationally-recognized opera singers and more. Does it sound like all these amazing people can’t possibly be competing with each other? Come enjoy the abundance of musical riches we share at American Traditions Vocal Competition, and enjoy the great variety of American music we represent through these wonderful artists.

The competition runs like sports playoffs: 24 Quarterfinalists compete in the first four rounds, and then we cut to the top 12 who will compete in the semifinals. Only five Finalists will advance to Friday night where they sing for top prizes, including a chance to sing with our wonderful Savannah Philharmonic Orchestra. Come for certain events or for the whole week – weeklong passes are available, as well as individual tickets.

Tickets start at $20 for adults, and are free for students with registration!

Public previewing available February 18th-21st, 10-5pm and February 23rd, 10-4pm.

INNOCENT OR GUILTY? YOU DECIDE!
From of the creators of the “Murdered by…” and “Christmas in Mistletoe Falls” productions comes an all-new, originally outrageous musical courtroom show, “The People Vs. Broadway!”

Broadway star Hattie LaTone has been murdered and the players in an entirely different kind of drama have assembled in the courtroom. The defendant, Daisy Levi, is accused of the heinous crime. Prosecutor Willie Proveitt is determined to put her behind bars. Defense attorney Sue Diligence is trying to prevent a miscarriage of justice. Judge Judy Gavelstein is not putting up with any guff as she oversees the trial of the century. The bailiff Marsha Law is trying to keep order in the court as a parade of witnesses tells their stories.

What really happened the night of the murder? Is the defendant innocent or guilty? That’s up to the jury to decide and the jury is you! The audience votes at intermission and then we’ll change the ending based on what you decide!

Along the way, you’ll hear the testimony presented in the form of musical numbers, featuring some of the greatest hits of Broadway all sung live including Chicago, Gypsy, Tootsie, Avenue Q, La Cage aux Folles, Kiss Me Kate, Follies, Shucked, Operation Mincemeat, Death Becomes, Her, Wicked, and more ! It’s a toe-tapping trial you don’t want to miss.

There will be four performances: Thursday, February 19 at 7pm; Friday, February 20 at 7pm; Saturday, February 21 at 3pm; and Sunday, February 22 at 3pm. Get your tickets before the judge bangs the gavel on you!
