TICKETS ON SALE SOON 
Company One is holding auditions for their fall production, Annie Baker’s “The Aliens” (Oct/Nov).
In the town of Shirley, two 30-something dropouts hang out by the dumpster behind the coffee shop where they meditate on music, philosophy, shrooms, and Bukowski. When a teenage employee asks them to relocate, these disillusioned young men find the disciple they’ve been waiting for. A beat-tinged, psychotropic journey, Annie Baker’s The Aliens is a funny and heartening look at friendship, ritual, and small town New England. Company One is proud to join the Huntington Theatre Company and SpeakEasy Stage Company in exploring the tiny spaces of our small towns.
Auditions will be held the afternoon of Sunday July 18th, from 1 PM to 4 PM. If you are not available, please email your interest, ALTERNATIVE AUDITION DATES MAY BE AVAILABLE.
To secure an audition slot, please email auditions@companyone.org with your resume, digital head shot, and any specific time requests.
Auditioners will need to prepare a contemporary monologue of up to 2 minutes.
All actors cast receive a stipend.
