Company One Theatre builds community at the intersection of art and social change

It takes two to tango in the world of new plays, whether developing a work in process or getting ready to stage a full production. From building artistic relationships, language, and strategy, what does it take for directors and playwrights to work together in the new work process?

Bring your collaborators and join us for a moderated discussion and advice on how to collaborate with new play playwrights and directors!

THE WORD ON C1

"Company One Theatre pushes the boundaries of narrative with a focus on marginalized stories, and has probably done more than any other institution to bring new audiences to Boston theater"

Amelia Mason, WBUR

"If a production is bold, exciting, and makes me feel alive, chances are it’s a Company One production.

Christopher Ehlers, DigBoston

"They really have a sense of where to take theater in this moment ⁠— to stretch it, to make it new, to reach different audiences... They are a company the nation is paying attention to."

Jared Bowen, WGBH
