Anthony Arkin, Candy Buckley, Jessica Hecht, J.R. Horne, Richard Masur, Ellen Parker will star in the Atlantic Theater Company’s world premiere of Leslie Ayvazian’s Make Me, to play Atlantic Stage 2, May 19-June 14. The production, which will open officially on May 31, will be directed by Christian Parker.

The play centers on six pent-up Americans in three different relationships, exploring what happens when the rules are changed just at the moment when people think they are perfectly comfortable and the lengths to which some will go to be seen, heard and obeyed. Ayvazian’s Nine Armenians won the John Gassner Outer Critics Award, The Susan Smith Blackburn Prize and the Kennedy Center’s Roger L. Stevens Award.

The design team will include Anna Louizos (sets), Theresa Squire (costumes), Josh Bradford (lighting), and Jill BC DuBoff (sound).
