Casting has been revealed for Atlantic Theater Company's season opener, the world premiere of Gracie Gardner's I'm Revolting, directed by Knud Adams. The new play will begin at the Off-Broadway company's Linda Gross Theater September 8, with opening night set for September 28. The limited engagement will continue through October 16.
The cast will feature Tony nominee Gabby Beans (The Skin of Our Teeth), Bartley Booz (Hamlet/Oresteia at Park Avenue Armory), Laura Esterman (The Woman's Party), Glenn Fitzgerald (The True), Peter Gerety (The Lieutenant of Inishmore), Emily Cass McDonnell (Bodies They Ritual), Alicia Pilgrim (Cullud Wattah), Portia (To Kill a Mockingbird), and Patrick Vaill (Oklahoma!).
The work is set at a skin cancer clinic in NYC ("not the famous one," according to press notes) as patients wait to find out how much of themselves they're about to lose.
I'm Revolting will be followed by the world premieres of Lloyd Suh's The Far Country, Simon Stephens and Mark Eitzel's musical Cornelia Street, Deepa Purohit's Elyria, and Lucas Hnath and Steve Cuiffo's A Simulacrum. The Atlantic for Kids series will present Lee Cataluna's Heart Strings.
Laks, the League's former executive vice president and general counsel, has been serving in the role on an interim basis since the departure of Charlotte St. Martin.
