Works From Jake Brasch, Ethan Coen, Eliana Theologides Rodriguez Headed to Atlantic Theater Company

Off-Broadway's Atlantic Theater Company has unveiled its 2025-2026 season, which will mark the company's 40th anniversary.

The season will kick off with a world premiere from Ethan Coen, Let's Love!, a trio of one-acts exploring "love in all its miserable glory," according to press notes. Neil Pepe will direct, with performances running September 25-November 9 in the company's Linda Gross Theater.

Atlantic is joining forces with Ensemble Studio Theatre and the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation for Jake Brasch's The Reservoir, set to perform in the Gross beginning in February 2026. Shelley Butler will direct the work, about a young man who moves home to Denver to get sober only to find himself newly connected to his aging grandparents. The play made its world premiere at Denver Center for the Performing Arts earlier this year, before playing co-world premiere runs at Atlanta's Alliance and California's Geffen Playhouse. A developmental reading was held at Colorado New Play Summit in 2023.

Eliana Theologides Rodriguez's Indian Princesses will play Atlantic's Gross Theater beginning in May 2026, in a co-production with Rattlestick Theater and the Terrence McNally Foundation. Set at a father-daughter crafting camp, the play wrestles with cultural appropriation and some questions that we seem to be unable or unwilling to answer. Miranda Cornell will direct.

The company's 40th Anniversary Gala will be held at The Plaza April 20. An additional production remains to be announced.

The season will also see the postponed Atlantic for Kids production of Elephant & Piggie's "We Are in a Play!," performing December 13, 2025-February 1, 2026, in Atlantic Stage 2. With a script and lyrics by Mo Willems, and music by Deborah Wicks La Puma, the title had been planned for the 2024-2025 season. The company's backstage strike forced a postponement earlier this year. MK Lawson will direct and choreograph. Atlantic is presenting the musical in special arrangement with Music Theatre International.
