COMPANY ONE MONTHLY NEWSLETTER, JANUARY 2009

GREETINGS!
Baby it's cold outside, but it's smoking HOT at Company One!

NOW PLAYING - ARTiculation

ARTiculation is burning up the stage at the Boston Playwrights’ Theatre.  An examination of life, love, youth, religion and art set to a thundering mix of urban poetics and dynamic live theatre, ARTiculation follows the journey of six Boston poets, armed only with words, as they weave their way through the vast jungles of their own imaginations. Written by the performers themselves, Company One is proud to present the artistic revolution that is ARTiculation.

ARTiculation represents the spirit of Company One and all that it has done to change the face of Boston Theatre over the past ten years.  You don't want to miss this one!  Click here to get your tickets before they are gone!

COMING SOON...

Have you heard the big news? One of Boston's most accomplished actors, Nancy E. Carroll will be starring in C1's production of Bruce Norris' THE PAIN & THE ITCH.

With a young daughter in serious need of attention and a ravenous creature possibly prowling the upstairs bedrooms, what begins as an average Thanksgiving for one privileged family unravels into an exposé of disastrous choices and less-than-altruistic motives. THE PAIN AND THE ITCH is a scathing satire of the politics of class and race, a controversial, painfully human examination of denial and its consequences. Nancy will be portraying Carol, a sweetly condescending grandmother. C1 is so excited to work with such a critically-acclaimed powerhouse!

WHERE ARE THEY NOW?  CATCHING UP WITH C1 ALUM...
James Milord (SIX ROUNDS/ SIX LESSONS and multiple C1 shows) is proud to announce that he has landed the role of a lifetime as father to Legend James Milord. Legend is expected to debut right around Valentine's Day and James couldn't be more proud. James is "looking forward to seeing him run around backstage!" Congrats from the C1 family!
