More information about Grief Camp
Founded as an ensemble of impassioned student artists in 1985, Atlantic Theater Company has grown into a powerhouse off-Broadway company. As a producer of compelling new works, the company is committed to championing the stories from new and established artists alike, and with Grief Camp the theater offers Eliya Smith her off-Broadway debut.
The play features half a dozen teenagers coming together one summer to cope with loss together. Awkward ties and plenty of humor shine through in Les Waters’ production. A fierce advocate for new and often experimental plays, Waters is an Obie Award winner and served as the Artistic Director of the Actors Theatre of Louisville.
Featuring a sprawling cast and some music, this new play will give curious audiences a lot to chew on as its characters process loss and adolescence. Stirring and provocative, the play is a highly anticipated one from a writer on the rise.
