Atlantic has commissioned 20 short plays from such playwrights as Craig Lucas, David Mamet, John Guare, Tina Howe, Jeff Whitty and Kia Corthron, all of whom have a history with the not-for-profit Off-Broadway company.
The plays will run in three separate evenings beginning June 14, 2006, and will run through July 1.
The festival will also celebrate a reunion of the Atlantic ensemble of actors including William H. Macy, Felicity Huffman, Kristen Johnston, Camryn Manheim and Giancarlo Esposito, some of whom may appear in the one-acts. Official casting is yet to be announced.
