Atlantic Theater Company

At Atlantic Theater Company, we're an award-winning producer, premiering works by intrepid playwrights like Ngozi Anyanwu, Lloyd Suh, and Stephen Adly Guirgis as well as critically-acclaimed musicals such as "KIMBERLY AKIMBO"THE BEDWETTER". As part of this work, each season we serve almost 50,000 patrons and artists and produce four productions at the company's two theater spaces in the Chelsea neighborhood of Manhattan: the 199-seat Linda Gross Theater on West 20th Street and the 99-seat Stage 2 theater on West 16th Street. Productions programmed as part of Atlantic's 2023-24 season included Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Annie Baker's "Infinite Life", the new musical "Buena Vista Social Club", book by Marco Ramirez and music and lyrics by Buena Vista Social Club, the American premiere of Lucy Kirkwood's "The Welkin", and Shayan Lotfi's Off-Broadway debut, "What Became of Us". We also continued our New Play Development programs and served over 12 playwrights through readings and workshops.

Studio and theater spaces, when not being used for Atlantic programs, are available to rent. Atlantic offers space at scaled prices to help our school alumni build their artistic ensembles, to help other theater education organizations address social issues through the use of theater, and to provide young or up-and-coming non-profit theater companies the opportunity to bring their work to the New York City audience. Miscellaneous other income is received for various program-related activities.
