Photo Flash: Atlantic Theater Company's HAPPY HOUR in Rehearsal!

Atlantic Theater Company (Neil Pepe, Artistic Director; Jeffory Lawson, Managing Director) is proud to announce complete casting for the world premiere production of Academy Award® winning film maker Ethan Coen's HAPPY HOUR, directed by Atlantic Artistic Director Neil Pepe (Speed-the-Plow).

The ensemble cast will feature Cassie Beck, Aya Cash, Clark Gregg, Susan Hyon, Rock Kohli, Gordon MacDonald, Amanda Quaid, Ana Reeder, Joey Slotnick and Lenny Venito.

Previews will begin Wednesday, November 16 toward an official opening Monday, December 5, and a limited engagement through Saturday, December 31, 2011 Off-Broadway at Signature Theatre Company's Peter Norton Space (552 West 42nd Street) while Atlantic's main stage continues its renovation.

Academy Award® winner Ethan Coen returns to Atlantic with the world premiere of three one-act comedies, following the success of his hit productions Almost an Evening and Offices. In HAPPY HOUR, an embittered barfly has a theory-or two-about what the world has become. A lonely young man and lonely young woman can't see how right they are for each other. His motel room is so ugly a business traveler wants to end it all. Your life could be worse-and these three one-act comedies show you how.
