Atlantic Theater Company's first production of its 30th anniversary season, Obie Award winner Caryl Churchill's landmark play Cloud Nine, began previews Sept. 16 prior to an official opening Oct. 5 at the Linda Gross Theater.

Directed by James Macdonald, the limited engagement will continue through Nov. 1.

The cast is made up of Brooke Bloom, Sean Dugan, Lucy Owen, Chris Perfetti, John Sanders, Izzie Steele and Clarke Thorell.
