Photo Coverage: Atlantic's 'Body Awareness' Opening Night

On Wednesday, June 3rd the Atlantic Theater Company opened Annie Baker's BODY AWARENESS directed by Karen Kohlhaas and featuring Jonathan Clem, Peter Friedman, Mary McCann and JoBeth Williams.

BODY AWARENESS began previews Wednesday, May 28th, 2008 and will play a limited engagement through Sunday, June 22nd Off-Broadway at Atlantic Stage 2 (330 West 16th Street).
 
BODY AWARENESS marks the final production of the 2007-2008 Atlantic Stage 2 season at the company's second stage theater, where two new plays are staged each year. The hit world premiere production of Academy Award® winning film maker Ethan Coen's Almost an Evening played a sold out run earlier this season before transferring to The Theaters at 45 Bleecker Street where it plays a limited engagement through June 1st.
 
In the world premiere of Annie Baker's new comedy, it is "Body Awareness Week" at bucolic Shirley State College in Vermont, and all must go according to plan. But when photographer Frank Bonitatibus shows up with his passel of photographs of naked women, things start to go awry.
