Company One is proud to present the world premiere of PigPen’s THE MOUNTAIN SONG. The future of ensemble theatre in America, PigPen creates atmospheric theatrical fables with their own unique blend of live music, puppetry, shadow play, choreographed movement, and clever lighting effects. Formed at Carnegie Mellon University’s School of Drama, PigPen has gone on to perform professionally in playhouses around the country and were the runaway hit receiving top honors at last year’s NY Fringe Festival. THE MOUNTAIN SONG tells the tale of an epic journey across rivers, mountains, and deserts, in search of long-lost family.

"Same excitement of seeing Blue Man Group and the Flying Karamazov Brothers for the first time!”

a New England Premiere
by Jason Grote
Directed by Megan Sandberg-Zakian

Opening July 15 - August 13, 2011

"...funny, moving...1001 is endlessly compelling!”
-Boston Globe
A seductive fever-dream of a play, Grote’s kaleidoscopic reinvention of the “Arabian Nights” proves to be a timely tale as America reflects on the 10 year anniversary of 9/11. 1001’s rich fantasia conjures a storybook world that dissolves, at a moment’s notice, into an apocalyptic, 21st-century landscape. Stories like “Sinbad the Sailor” and “Aladdin and His Magic Lamp” come to life, making 1001 an explosive, brilliant work about America, the power of story, and identity.

Starring: Lauren Eicher, Ruby Rose Fox, Hampton Fluker, Ben Gracia , Lonnie McAdoo and Nael Nacer
