ATLANTIC THEATER COMPANY

Since our inception, Atlantic has been training young people in the theater at Atlantic Acting School, where we equip our students with the physical, emotional, and analytical tools of acting to discover their truths and prepare them for success beyond our doors. Each year, we offer an accredited conservatory program, a BFA program operated through New York University, and afterschool and summer programs for children and teenagers from across the city. We're also serving over 3,500 NYC public school students through various arts education programs. In STAGING SUCCESS, Atlantic partners with two public high schools to offer in-class cross-curricular theater lessons. Simultaneously, Atlantic's DISCOVER SUCCESS is a matinee program providing students from 30 NYC schools with tickets to Atlantic productions, pre-show classroom visits with teaching artists, study guides, and post-show discussions with the play's cast. Older students receive tickets to Atlantic productions while younger children attend one of the company's ATLANTIC FOR KIDS shows, like this season's "El Otro Oz", book by Mando Alvarado and Tommy Newman, music and lyrics by Jaime Lozano and Tommy Newman. We also serve neurodiverse children and young adults -particularly those with autism - through ACCESS SUCCESS.

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.
