Their website describes the theater company's mission as being "to produce great plays simply and truthfully utilizing an artistic ensemble." Inspired by the Group Theatre and Stanislavsky, the Atlantic Theater Company was founded in 1985 by David Mamet, William H.Macy, and, at the time, 30 of their acting students from New York University.

Atlantic believes that the story of a play and the intent of its playwright are at the core of the creative process.

The school focuses on the Practical Aesthetics Acting Technique, growing out of a series of NYU summer workshops in Vermont in 1983 and '84 with playwright David Mamet and actor William H.Macy.The Atlantic Acting School fosters new generations of theater artists and audiences by creating a student ensemble that allows emerging actors to hone their craft in a safe yet challenging environment.

The Cripple of Inishmaan by Martin McDonagh will be presented in collaboration with Druid Theatre in the winter, and a co-produced revival of David Mamet’s Speed-the-Plow is currently playing on Broadway.The Atlantic Acting School, founded in 1987, operates as both a private conservatory and an undergraduate program in conjunction with New York University.

Distinguished guest lecturers include Kate Winslet, Alan Alda, Chris Noth, Richard Dreyfuss, Sam Shepard, Margo Jefferson, Gore Vidal, Charles Durning, Gabriel Byrne, Brian Dennehy, Howard Korder, Mary Steenburgen, Nicky Silver, Ted Danson as well as program graduates Kristen Johnston, Felicity Huffman, and Eddie Cahill.
