COMPANY ONE MONTHLY NEWSLETTER, DECEMBER 2008

SEASON'S GREETINGS!
The Holidays are upon us and C1 is full of good cheer...

ARTiculation...

Our next show, ARTiculation, is in full swing and rehearsals are sizzling.  Everyone is abuzz with anticipation of this much-awaited original piece featuring a group of talented young artists with so much to say. Set in the not-so-distant-future, ARTiculation follows the journey of six Boston poets as they weave their way through the vast jungles of their own imaginations. Armed with only words, this young diverse ensemble provides a mosaic of life, love, youth, religion and art set to a thundering mix of urban poetics and dynamic live theatre. Written by the performers themselves, Company One is proud to present the artistic revolution that is ARTiculation. 

Directed by: Lois Roach
Starring: Danny Balel, Tory Bullock, Mike Cognata, Terri Deletetsky, Marvelyn McFarlane, Nik Walker and DJ Reazon.
