Atlantic Theater Company Reaches Agreement With IATSE; 24-25 Season to Resume

By: Chloe Rabinowitz Mar. 25, 2025
Atlantic Theater Company's 2024|2025 Season will resume with the world premiere productions of I’m Assuming You Know David Greenspan and Grief Camp. The world premieres of A Freeky Introduction and Lowcountry will follow and conclude the season. Atlantic’s production of Ethan Coen’s Let’s Love will not be happening this season. Casting is to come.
"Atlantic would like to thank our colleagues at IATSE for working with us to reach an agreement that is equitable for all parties, especially as the landscape of Off-Broadway theatre and not-for-profits continues to become more uncertain. We could not be happier to get back to producing plays and reinvigorating our season,” said Atlantic's Artistic Director, Neil Pepe.
“I congratulate Atlantic Theater Company production workers on ratifying their first agreement. We will continue building on our productive partnership and look forward to a successful first season with a union contract covering the Atlantic’s skilled production workers.” — IATSE International President Matthew D. Loeb
BroadwayWorld reported earlier this month that Atlantic Theater Company and The International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees (IATSE) reached a tentative agreement covering nearly one-hundred production workers employed by the company. The tentative agreement was pending approval via ratification by the workers. The proposed agreement included significant compensation increases including comprehensive benefits that both parties believe reflected the essential contributions of the production crew to Atlantic Theater Company's success.
Tickets for I’m Assuming You Know David Greenspan and Grief Camp go on sale to the public on Wednesday, March 26 at noon ET. Tickets for A Freeky Introduction and Lowcountry go on sale to the public on Tuesday, April 8.
