Annie Baker’s Shirley, VT Plays to Be Presented as Boston Festival

Three Boston theater companies – Huntington Theatre Company, SpeakEasy Stage Company and Company One — will join forces to present a festival of Annie Baker’s first three plays, all of which are set in the fictional town of Shirley, VT.

Huntington Theatre will produce Circle Mirror Transformation (October 15 – November 14), while SpeakEasy Stage will present Baker’s Body Awareness (October 22 – November 20), and Company One will produce The Aliens (October 29 – November 20). In addition to these three full productions, Baker’s Nocturama, also set in Shirley, will be presented as a staged reading by the Huntington during the festival.

Special same-day “marathon” scheduling is being designed so that theatergoers will be able to attend the entire festival in one day. Subscribers to each of the three participating companies will receive discount offers on the other two festival productions and single tickets will go on sale in August.
