Michael Chernus, Dane DeHaan, and Erin Gann will star in the world premiere of Annie Baker’s The Aliens, to be presented by Rattlestick Playwrights Theater, April 14-May 23, with an opening on April 22. Sam Gold will direct.

In the play, two angry young men sit outside a Vermont coffee shop and discuss music and Bukowski. When a lonely high school student arrives on the scene, they decide to teach him everything they know.

The creative team will include Andrew Lieberman (sets), Bobby Tilley (costumes), Tyler Mycelou (lights), and Bart Fasbender (sound).

Baker’s other plays include Body Awareness, Circle Mirror Transformation, The End of the Middle Ages, and NOCTURAMA.
