Come one, come all to a sparkling celebration of life, death, and cosmic connection! When Greg receives a terminal cancer diagnosis (and weird dream visitations from Greta Thunberg), he finally understands his true purpose and races to save Mother Earth as climate catastrophe looms. Meanwhile, Viv tries to hold it all together, but really just wants to stop time and hide under the covers with her husband. And through it all, our emcee, M, charts their own path while Dad is dying, life is a drag, and the world keeps spinning.
You Are Cordially Invited to the End of the World! proves that every family is their own ecosystem, as complex and beautiful as the Earth itself.

Join Company One Theatre and friends for a night of tasty bites and signature cocktails, dynamic performances, and a dance party you won’t forget — all while supporting Boston’s Theatre for the People! Investing in locally-rooted art, community-led social action, and the vibrancy of our city’s neighborhoods is especially necessary right now. We’re excited to gather at the top of Northeastern’s beautiful East Village to support this vital work during C1’s biggest party of the year!
Welcome to our community, where every audience member, artist, student, and supporter has the opportunity to fight for social justice.
Founded in 1998, Company One has situated itself as a home for social justice and artistic excellence by connecting Boston’s diverse communities through live performance, the development of new plays and playwrights, arts education, and public engagement programming. By establishing a dedicated space for marginalized and alternative narratives to thrive and working with partners and collaborators across the city, Company One has become a local leader in the ongoing conversations that continue to define the era of social change in contemporary America.
CONNECTIVITY
C1 is Boston’s hub for community connection. Connectivity provides opportunities for audience intersection with the people and organizations who are working to create a just and equitable Boston.
NEW WORK AT C1
Through a combination of personalized dramaturgy, workshops, and professional development programs, Company One Theatre’s New Work department is an incubator of new work for writers of varied experience levels and backgrounds.
