Atlantic Theater Company Closes Two Off Broadway Productions Amidst Stagehands Strike

deadline.com:

EXCLUSIVE: The Atlantic Theater Company, one of Off Broadway‘s most celebrated theaters, has officially closed two new, previewing productions – Eliya Smith’s Grief Camp and Mona Pirnot’s I’m Assuming You Know David Greenspan – amidst an ongoing strike by the stagehands union IATSE.

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. In two largely identical letters obtained by Deadline, the casts and crews of Grief Camp and I’m Assuming You Know David Greenspan were informed via notices dated January 12 that closing notices had been officially posted.

The companies for both shows “will be paid one (1) week’s equivalent contractual salary for week-ending January 19, 2025,” the letters, signed by Atlantic’s artistic director Neil Pepe and managing director Jeffory Lawson, state.
