Off-Broadway's Atlantic Theater Company will celebrate its return to the stage following an 18-month shutdown with Let's Party!, the theatre company's 2022 gala.
On hand to perform at the event will be Tony winners LaChanze, Victoria Clark, and Bebe Neuwirth, with more performers to be announced in the coming days. The event is set for Loeb Boathouse in Central Park May 9.
Clark, who recently starred in Atlantic's world premiere of Jeanine Tesori and David Lindsay-Abaire's Kimberly Akimbo, will appear with Justin Cooley, her co-star from that production. Both will reprise their performances in the work's upcoming Broadway transfer, set to begin October 12 at a Shubert theatre to be announced.
The event will begin with a cocktail and hors d'oeuvres hour at 6:30 PM, with a three-course dinner following at 7:30. Tickets, which begin at $1,000, are available at AtlanticTheater.org.
