Atlantic's 'Almost An Evening' Transfers to Bleecker Street March 20
Atlantic Theater Company's critically acclaimed world premiere production of Academy Award - winning film maker Ethan Coen's Almost An Evening, will transfer to an Off-Broadway run at The Bleecker Street Theatre (45 Bleecker Street between Lafayette and Mott Street). Previews will begin Thursday, March 20 for a limited engagement through Sunday, June 1, 2008.
This marks the first time Atlantic Theater Company has transferred one of its Off-Broadway shows to another Off-Broadway house. Casting for The Bleecker Street Theatre transfer will be announced shortly.
"In Ethan Coen's Almost An Evening, three short plays unsuccessfully tackle important questions. In Waiting, someone waits somewhere for quite some time. In Four Benches, a voyage to self-discovery takes a British intelligence agent to steam baths in New York and Texas, and to park benches in the U.S. and U.K. In Debate, cosmic questions are taken up. Not much is learned," describe press notes.
Almost An Evening, directed by Atlantic artistic director Neil Pepe, sold out before previews began on January 9, opened on January 22, and played a limited engagement through February 10, 2008 Off-Broadway at Atlantic Stage 2 (330 West 16th Street).
The Off-Broadway transfer of Almost An Evening will be produced by Atlantic Theater Company (Neil Pepe, Artistic Director; Andrew D. Hamingson, Managing Director) and Art Meets Commerce (Chip Meyrelles, Executive Director; Ken Greiner, Producing Director).
The Atlantic Stage 2 engagement of Almost An Evening featured Academy Award winner F. Murray Abraham, Jonathan Cake, J.R. Horne, Jordan Lage, Mark Linn-Baker, Elizabeth Marvel, Mary McCann, Del Pentecost and Joey Slotnick.
Almost An Evening will play Tuesday through Saturday at 8PM, with Saturday matinees at 2PM and Sunday performances at 3PM & 7PM.
