Officially cancelled now

Atlantic Theater Company Closes Two Off Broadway Productions Amidst Stagehands Strike

https://deadline.com/2025/01/atlantic-theater-iatse-strike-off-broadway-1236257777/

"News of the strike surfaced last weekend, but the Atlantic at that time said the productions were merely postponed indefinitely. In fact, the cast and crew of both shows have been notified that the productions have officially closed."

Wow, they received $4,300,000?  Just wow.  Perhaps they should pare back their productions like most other nonprofits, to those that are more likely to turn a profit, so they can pay a living wage.

Wanted to point out here, that it very well may be the OBL and other non-profits possibly funding this union busting fiasco. Whatever Atlantic agrees to, IATSE will use as a base negotiation when they come for other Off-Broadway non-profit theaters when they come knocking. There's a reason why many from the Off-Broadway world have suddenly become very anti-union all of the sudden... Whatever happens here has repercussions for negotiations for years to come.

$4.3 mil isn’t a huge chunk of change for the Save Our Stages funding. The max was $10 mil (which some Broadway productions received). It was a one time thing four years ago and was intended to prevent companies like the Atlantic from closing. It’s not relevant to this convo.

Atlantic has already scaled back its operation because of financial challenges, as most nonprofits have. It also relies more heavily on commercial enhancement money (especially for musicals). From an audience standpoint, Atlantic productions are not overblown or irresponsibly-produced.

Nonprofit productions don’t have the binary of profit and loss that a commercial production has, and ticket revenue isn’t meant to cover all costs. For some companies, producing shows is a loss-leader for private donations, grants, commercial enhancement money, etc.

I also can’t stress enough that every nonprofit functions differently and their annual budgets vary significantly. Last year Atlantic’s season cost $15 mil. The Public’s cost $60 mil. Second Stage cost $28 mil. NYTW and MCC cost about $10 mil. Playwrights Horizons cost $13 mil. Not all companies are created equal.

Atlantic has basically acknowledged in its statement that it is working in concert with the OBL because what one company does impacts everyone else. That’s why the OBL exists.

If Greg Nobile, Nate Koch, and Carol Fishman are smart, “Studio Seaview” will open with stagehands on a union contract so there’s no funny business down the line.

"Ultimately, after extensive discussions and dialogue, the Atlantic Theater Company is poised to become the first not-for-profit theater company producing solely Off-Broadway in history to have a union agreement covering production classifications." 

Wow, fingers crossed...

Just got an email that they're rescheduling David Greenspan and Grief Camp and that subscribers can rebook, but Let's Love is cancelled (and the rest of the season remains intact).

I'm Assuming You Know David Greenspan is a one-actor show that was fully teched and in performances when the shutdown happened. I imagine they're able to essentially pick up where they left off.


"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe." -John Guare, Landscape of the Body

I had a ticket that was refunded.  They sent me an email yesterday letting me repurchase at the same price before the public on sale.  Good job!
