John Gallagher, Jr., Brian d'Arcy James, Jim Norton and more celebrated the Off-Broadway opening of Conor McPherson's Port Authority May 21.

Henry Wishcamper directs the New York premiere of the drama that plays the Atlantic Theater Company's Linda Gross Theater.

"Set against the backdrop of contemporary Dublin," as show notes reveal, "Port Authority weaves the stories of three generations of Irishmen as they experience loss, failure and the elusiveness of love as Conor McPherson (The Seafarer, Shining City, The Weir) exposes the heart of the common man with his customary wit and compassion."

The stars, creatives and more enjoyed an opening-night celebration at New York City's Earth. Here are some photos from the evening:
