I Became We

Directed by Sarah Benson
October 16 – November 15, 2026
A first-person monologue performed by a sixteen-person choir about a woman in her mid-thirties wrestling with one of life’s most important decisions. With plainspoken, contemporary language sung in the stylings of classical choral music, comes a new formally daring, auto-fictional play from the writer of I’m Assuming You Know David Greenspan, Mona Pirnot. Atlantic will welcome back Obie Award winners Mona Pirnot and Sarah Benson (The Welkin), as well as Relentless Award-winning composer Jack D. Coen (Jo Jenkins Before the Galactic High Court of Consciousness) for this groundbreaking world premiere musical event.
Too Bad For Her
World Premiere Play

A compassionate and perverse exploration of a thirty-year affair and its consequences. A play about love, art, and living outside the bounds.

By Jackie Sibblies Drury

New York City, 1976. A young choreographer gets her big break: to create a dance for the American debut of the best dancer in the world, fresh off his defection from the USSR. Push is a study of self-creation, grit, and movement — both in a dance studio and across an ocean. Atlantic welcomes back Tony Award winners Patricia Delgado and Justin Peck (Buena Vista Social Club) alongside Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Jackie Sibblies Drury (Fairview) for this world premiere play. Push was conceived by Patricia Delgado, Jackie Sibblies Drury, and Justin Peck.
