Atlantic Theater Company’s (Neil Pepe, Artistic Director; Jeffory Lawson, Managing Director) is proud to announce the world premiere of A Simulacrum, written by Tony Award nominee Lucas Hnath (Dana H.) with Steve Cuiffo, directed by Lucas Hnath has been extended by popular demand to Sunday, July 9^th.
A Simulacrum began performances on Thursday, March 25^th, and opened June 14^th Off-Broadway at Atlantic Stage 2 (330 West 16^th Street).
Lucas is a playwright. Steve is a magician. Lucas asked Steve to show him some magic tricks. Steve did. And this is what happened. Tony Award nominee Lucas Hnath directs this unique collaboration starring leading sleight of hand artist and illusion designer Steve Cuiffo. 
A Simulacrum features scenic design by Louisa Thompson, costume design by Qween Jean, lighting design by Tyler Micoleau, and sound design by Mikhail Fiksel. Vanessa Coakley serves as production stage manager.
Critical Praise for A Simulacrum:
“An engaging performer, Cuiffo subverts the splashy style that many professional magicians are known for; he’s low key, grounded in both his gestures and his manner of speech. And the difficulty of what he’s doing shouldn’t be understated.” “What magic and theater have in common, is the wonder, the spectacle that ironically sends you back to your reality with a new outlook.”
– Maya Phillips, The New York Times
“**** Like a good magic routine, A Simulacrum begins with something ordinary and ends with something astounding.”
– Allison Considine, New York Theatre Guide
“Cuiffo is astonishing, engaging, charming, and unequivocally devoted to his artistic passion. It’s an increasingly human and telling exploration of the inner workings of the artist.”
– Deb Miller, DC Metro
