Company One

Theater Review: “Hype Man” — Art Versus Politics

At a lean ninety minutes long, the play tackles too many big issues to do them justice.

By: Erik Nikander Filed Under: Featured, Review, Theater Tagged: Company One, Erik Nikander, Hype Man: a Break Beat Play, Idris Goodwin

Theater Review: “Really” — An Absorbing Confrontation With Memory

Company One’s production of this unconventional work is absorbing: this is the kind of exciting theater that we need to see more often.

By: Arts Fuse Editor Filed Under: Featured, Review, Theater Tagged: Company One, Erik Nikander, Jackie Sibblies Drury, Kippy Goldfarb, Matter & Light Fine Art gallery, Rachel Cognata, Really

Theater Review: Missing the Irony in “Revolt. She Said. Revolt Again.”

Alice Birch’s play/polemic about radical feminism resists Company One’s earnest-to-the-max interpretation.

By: Ian Thal Filed Under: Featured, Review, Theater Tagged: Alice Birch, Company One, Radical feminism, Revolt. She Said. Revolt Again., Summer l. Williams

Theater Review: “An Octoroon” — Racist Melodrama, Post-Modern Version

Company One’s actors are top notch and they expertly serve the production’s antiquated style of non-realistic acting.

By: Arts Fuse Editor Filed Under: Featured, Review, Theater Tagged: An Octoroon, Branden Jacobs-Jenkins, Company One, Dion Boucicault, Jess Viator, Summer l. Williams, The Octoroon

Fuse Theater Review: Company One’s “Astro Boy” Rockets into an Eye-Popping Adventure

Company One’s production treats audiences to a seamless, eight-member ensemble who perform with a complicated bevy of multimedia effects that are so smoothly integrated into the action they elicit ooohs and aahs from the crowd.

By: Terry Byrne Filed Under: Featured, Review, Theater Tagged: anime, Astro Boy and the God of Comics, Company One, Natsu Onoda Power, video

Fuse Theater Review: A First-Rate “Flick” From Company One

In “The Flick,” Annie Baker creates youngish characters that my students at Boston University would call “relatable,” exploring how self-delusions, stereotypes, and fear keep them from connecting in a meaningful way.

By: Bill Marx Filed Under: Featured, Review, Theater Tagged: Annie Baker, Company One, The Flick

Fuse Theater Review: “How We Got On” — Exhilarating Hip Hop

I am probably the last person anyone would see as a hip hop fan, but I walked out of the theater with a new appreciation for the music and the satisfaction of experiencing an old-fashioned coming-of-age story told in a refreshing new way.

By: Terry Byrne Filed Under: Featured, Review, Theater Tagged: Company One, How We Got On, Summer Williams

Theater Review: “She Kills Monsters” — A Delightful Celebration of Geekery

“She Kills Monsters” provides a constant stream of creative, amusing, and outrageous moments.

By: Alyssa Hall Filed Under: Featured, Theater Tagged: Company One, Qui Nguyen, She Kills Monsters

Fuse Review: Company One Exhibits a Ferociously Good “Bengal Tiger”

“Bengal Tiger at the Baghdad Zoo” is hard to categorize. It is both funny and dead serious, not exactly a black comedy but an idiosyncratic composite of many different dramatic antecedents.

By: Helen Epstein Filed Under: Featured, Theater Tagged: Bengal Tiger at the Baghdad Zoo, Company One, Culture Vulture, Iraq, Rajiv Joseph, Rick Park, Shawn LaCount

Fuse Theater Review: Wrestling With Art

Ultimately the evening is NOT about wrestling. It’s about the root, the very nature of art. About the love of craft; about wanting and needing to create.

By: Peter-Adrian Cohen Filed Under: Featured, Theater Tagged: Company One, Kristoffer Diaz, Shawn LaCount, The Elaborate Entrance of Chad Deity
