Atlantic Theater Company is offering a new lineup of virtual programming in its Live with Atlantic series, featuring artists from Atlantic's past, present and future. All events are free and will take place via Zoom.
Fridays at 4pm ET | Plus Monday, August 31 at 4pm ET
View selections from past Atlantic productions alongside the intrepid artists who built the world, and then stick around as they discuss transforming the work from a 2D page to the live stage
Atlantic has asked some of its favorite composers to play songs they love - oldies, goodies or new tunes; their choice.
A pair of playwright friends interview each other, sharing stories about their individual processes, and what it means to create while in isolation.
Atlantic Ensemble members discuss the history of the company, and how their work has evolved since those early days.
