In her theater debut, Van Patten performed in The New Group's Off-Broadway play The Whirligig by Hamish Linklater alongside Zosia Mamet at the Pershing Square Signature Center.[3][5][7] Van Patten acted in the 2017 romantic comedy The Wilde Wedding with Glenn Close, John Malkovich, Patrick Stewart, and Minnie Driver.[5] Principal photography of Dolly Wells' Good Posture, starring Van Patten and Emily Mortimer, finished in Brooklyn in late December 2017.[8]
She appeared in David Robert Mitchell's crime noir Under the Silver Lake with Mamet, Riley Keough, and Andrew Garfield.[6][9] Van Patten was named one of Variety magazine's "10 Actors to Watch" in 2017.[4] In the fall of 2018, she appeared as Joan of Arc opposite Glenn Close in The Public Theater's production of Mother of the Maid.[10] She will also star opposite Jovan Adepo in Kerem Sanga's drama The Violent Heart.[11]
