a National New Play Network Rolling World Premiere
produced in partnership with the Boston Public Library
January 24 – February 15
Boston Public Library, Central Branch
Ash and Aaron have been dead for twenty years, and the Indigenous siblings pass their time dancing to Britney Spears, haunting the families that try to move into their house, and wondering if they’ll ever be free from the shackles of racist stereotypes. As the cycle begins once more, the siblings ask: will they ever make it to the Spirit World? An Indigenous horror comedy with the coolest Y2K hits, Tara Moses’ Haunted forces us to confront the very land we walk on and our relationship (or lack thereof) with Native communities today.
Season 26: COME TOGETHER
featuring three world premiere productions, four Better Future Series events, two Plays in Development, and more!
As we prepare for an increase in racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, imperialist, xenophobic, and ableist policies, it is vital that we COME TOGETHER to support, care for, defend, and love each other. This season’s plays and events discuss immigration reform, environmental justice, reproductive rights, and other policies currently under threat. And as always, all plays and events are fully Pay-What-You-Want, meaning anyone can become part of our community for free!
Our lobbies are gathering spaces. Our box office lines are reunions. Each event is an opportunity to weave yourself into the fabric of Boston’s soul. We’re so happy that you’re a part of our C1 family, and we can’t wait to COME TOGETHER with you at the next event!
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.
PLAYLAB CIRCUIT
Through a combination of personalized dramaturgy, group workshops, and professional development classes, C1’s PlayLab Circuit is an incubator of new work for writers of varied experience levels and backgrounds.
