WHAT WE TOLD THE NEIGHBORS by Brian Otaño

Directed by Patricia McGregor

Linda is slowly dying of cancer and has recently started seeing visions of her dead husband Jack. The trouble is, she can't quite figure out why her best friend's son JP can see him and why he won't stop asking questions about her sickness, her life and their shared past. Unfolding over the course of one day in 1996, What We Told The Neighbors is a genre-bending exploration of the lives of two enmeshed families haunted by a legacy of violence, addiction and secrecy.

Friday August 10th, 3:30pm

ELK CLONER by Rogelio Martinez

Directed by Jaime Castañeda

It's 1982, technology and medicine are continuing to change the world as we know it. On the radio Rick Springfield is warning us not to talk to strangers, viruses (human and electronic) are spreading, and people are dying from poisoned Tylenol. When a mom disappears one family is left alone to take on this brave new world.

Monday August 13th, 3:30pm

BUSTED by Florencia Lozano

Directed by Felix Solis

Gigi is pissed at Lucia, who just seems to wanna get f**ked up. Jesse has a secret, Melanie: a special announcement. A tale in which friends cling to each other for dear life and tear each other to shreds in the process. An inexplicable hole, a mysterious visitation, a cosmic happening…with dance breaks.

Atlantic Stage 2 is at 330 West 16th Street (between 8th and 9th Avenues).

Admission is free. Reservation required. Please email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. or call 212-645-1242.
