Donate to Atlantic Theater Company in New York City

“Atlantic needs your support now, more than ever!  I just had my first experience working there [in I’m Assuming You Know David Greenspan] and I am very grateful to now be a part of the Atlantic Theater community.

The purpose of theater is to entertain people.  And by that, I mean to entertain people’s hearts and minds – to engage an audience intellectually and emotionally.  I’ve seen enough shows at Atlantic Theater to know that’s exactly what they are doing – and why their mission is absolutely essential.

If you’ve been moved by what you’ve seen on Atlantic’s stages – everything on the dramatic spectrum from comedy to tragedy – this is the ideal time to open your wallets.  Please keep things hopping at the Linda Gross and Stage 2.  You too, as a part of the Atlantic Theater community, are critical to helping really good theater come to life.

At Atlantic, our aim is singular—to empower simple and honest storytelling that fosters greater understanding of our shared world. We are a family of artists dedicated to exploring essential truths onstage, be it a show at Atlantic Theater Company or a class at Atlantic Acting School. As a producer, presenter, and educator of theater, we are driven by the belief that theater can challenge and transform our ways of thinking and urge us to reflect on our role in society. From our Tony Award and Pulitzer Prize-winning productions to our community-based education programs, we are committed to uncovering and celebrating the stories of our varied human existence.

Founded as an ensemble of impassioned student artists in 1985, Atlantic Theater Company has grown into a powerhouse off-Broadway company. We challenge, inspire, and awaken audiences with truthful storytelling presented across our two venues, the Linda Gross Theater and the intimate Stage Two black-box. As a producer of compelling new works, we are committed to championing the stories from new and established artists alike, amplifying the voices of emerging playwrights through our deeply collaborative programs and initiatives.

Celebrating 40 years of theater since its inception, Atlantic Theater Company has produced more than 200 plays including Tony Award-winning productions of Buena Vista Social Club (Marco Ramirez), Kimberly Akimbo (Jeanine Tesori, David Lindsay-Abaire), The Band’s Visit (David Yazbek, Itamar Moses), Spring Awakening (Steven Sater, Duncan Sheik), and The Beauty Queen of Leenane (Martin McDonagh); Pulitzer Prize recipients English (Sanaz Toossi) and Between Riverside and Crazy (Stephen Adly Guirgis); New York Drama Critics’ Circle winner for Best New Play The Night Alive (Conor McPherson) and Best Foreign Play Hangmen (Martin McDonagh); and Obie Award winners for Best New American Play Guards at the Taj and Describe the Night (Rajiv Joseph).
