In the 1980’s a group of NYU acting students started a theater company. I was one of those students. Here we are 30 years later, celebrating the completion of a two-year 7.2 million dollar renovation of our beloved theater space, The Linda Gross Theater (at the Atlantic Theater Company). While some of us (myself included) have moved on to other careers in the arts and are no longer acting on New York stages, we still all experience a tremendous connection to the theater, a bond with our fellow company members, and a pride that is undeniable. Congratulations to everyone who contributed to Atlantic, who has sat in the audience, and to all the company members past and present.
