COMPANY ONE'S MONTHLY NEWSLETTER, MAY 2011

NOW PLAYING
A NEW ENGLAND PREMIERE
 by Enrique Urueta
directed by Greg Maraio

"OUTRAGEOUS WIT and ENERGETIC PERFORMANCES!"
- The Boston Herald

NOW through June 5th

"The smart, sometimes offensive humor is refreshing!"
- The Boston Herald

Hanan is a promising young pop singer, and she has a record label dying to record her... until they find out she's Lebanese. Not to worry, they say: Hanan can still be a star—as long as she learns to be Latina! In this fiercely funny New England premiere, cultural identities and the music business are poked with some very, very sharp sticks.

Don't miss what is sure to be the most blistering comedy to play in Boston this season.

Starring: Maureen Adduci, David Giagrando, Kristina Kattar, Rory Kulz, Crystal Lisbon and Shawna O'Brien

Now through June 5th

THE MOUNTAIN SONG

Co-produced with PigPen

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

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 a carpenter who goes on an epic journey across mountains, rivers, and deserts in search for his daughter’s wedding… without having a clue as to where it is supposed to take place.
