Chris Noth, Olivia Thirlby, John Gallagher Jr. and company celebrated the world premiere of Beau Willimon's Farragut North.

The Atlantic Theater Company presentation, directed by Doug Hughes (Doubt), opened at Off-Broadway's Linda Gross Theater Nov. 12.

Noth ("Sex and the City"), Thirlby ("Juno") and Gallagher, Jr. (Spring Awakening) are joined in the cast by Kate Blumberg, Otto Sanchez, Dan Bittner and Isiah Whitlock, Jr.

Farragut North centers on "Stephen Bellamy (Gallagher, Jr.), a wunderkind press secretary who has built a career that men twice his age would envy," according to show notes. "During a tight presidential primary race, Stephen's meteoric rise falls prey to the backroom politics of more seasoned operatives. Farragut North is a timely story about the lust for power and the costs one will endure to achieve it."
