Bubba Weiler's new play, "The Saviors," will have its world premiere Off-Broadway at the Atlantic Theater Company's Linda Gross Theater. Performances are scheduled to begin on July 8, 2026, with an official opening on July 27, and the run will conclude on August 8, 2026. This drama explores the intricate dynamics between two altar boys whose lives are upended when a lost young man seeks refuge in their church, prompting them to confront shifting faiths, relationships, and personal identities.
The cast of "The Saviors" includes Crystal Finn, Ivan Howe, Julius Rinzel, and Stanley Simons. Ivan Howe and Julius Rinzel will star as the two altar boys. The play is directed by Jack Serio, reuniting him with Weiler after their successful previous collaboration, "Well, I'll Let You Go," which was praised by New York critics and has since transferred to Studio Seaview.
The creative team for "The Saviors" features David Zinn for set design, Avery Reed for costumes, Stacey Derosier for lighting, and Leah Gelpe for sound. Casting is handled by The Telsey Office, with Will Cantler, CSA, overseeing the process. Ashley-Rose Galligan will serve as the Production Stage Manager for this anticipated production at the Atlantic Theater Company, located at 336 West 20th Street, New York, NY 10011.
