Casting has been revealed for three productions in Atlantic Theater Company‘s 2026-2027 season Off-Broadway.
All mainstage productions will be performed at Atlantic’s Linda Gross Theater. Child-friendly offerings will be staged at Atlantic Stage 2.
The children’s offering of the season will be Finn, the family musical that previously had a Kennedy Center tour canceled following President Trump’s take-over of the arts institution. With a book by Chris Nee, music by Michael Kooman, and lyrics by Christopher Dimond, the piece will be directed by Ryan Dobrin. Running December 12, 2026-January 31, 2027, the underwater musical chronicles the coming-of-age journey of Finn, a young shark who dreams of following in his family’s footsteps by joining the prestigious Shark Guard.
Finn will star Jonice Bernard, Sydney Carmona, Gio Coppola, Catherine Luckenbach, Arwen-Vira Marsh, Maya Mays, Hayden Eugene Poe, and Alexa Stratton. Additional casting will be announced at a later date.
Next up on the mainstage will be the world premiere of Clare Barron’s Too Bad For Her, directed by Anne Kauffman. Running January 9-February 14, 2027, the piece is a compassionate and perverse exploration of a 30-year affair and its consequences. Too Bad For Her will star Tony nominee Ato Blankson-Wood (Slave Play), Renata Friedman (The Patient), Obie winner Greg Keller (Indian Princesses), Peter Mark Kendall (Watson), Sydney Lemmon (Love Story), and Tony nominee Alison Pill (Uncle Vanya). Additional casting will be announced at a later date.
Come March, Atlantic will stage the long-awaited world premiere of Lucas Hnath‘s Old Actress. Directed by Les Waters, the production will reunite Hnath and Waters with Deirdre O’Connell for the first time since their Tony-winning Dana H. The meta theatrical experience, which will run March 18-April 25, 2027, is a play about the act of learning lines for a play. O’Connell will be joined by Pulitzer Prize winner Eboni Booth (Primary Trust) and Susan Yassky.
