Opening Party Pics

Have you seen the photos from our opening party for GRIMM?

GRIMM is up and going!

And we've had some really great feedback!

"Once upon a time, there was a little theater company that wanted to stage something ambitious for its summer show..."
Boston Globe

"Company One’s lively new stage adaptation of some of the tales by the Brothers Grimm, are as different as the battery of seven Boston-area playwrights who mobilized their talents for this ambitious undertaking: Gregory Maguire, Lydia R. Diamond, Kirsten Greenidge, Melinda Lopez, Marcus Gardley, John Kuntz, and John ADEkoje."
Boston Globe

An interview with playwright, Gregory Maguire
Boston Herald

"Despite the title, most of the remixed and re-imagined fairy-tales of Company One’s latest production, Grimm, are clever and comedic."
Boston Lowbrow

Interview with castmember Yurie Collins

What is the first fairytale you remember reading? Why?
Rapunzel. My dad used to tell it to me before I went to bed. He used to read me a bunch of stories, but Rapunzel was always my favorite.


What do you remember most about that story?
When I hear the story now, like many fairy tales, I realize how morbid and quite disturbing the plot line is. But I wonder if I noticed any of that when I heard the story at such a young age. And now I'm wondering if parents expose their kids to these stories on purpose.


How do you connect to the stories of GRIMM?
I feel like the original Grimm fairy tales have found a way to cling onto everyone's minds, especially if you grew up reading them or hearing your parents tell them to you. I'm pretty sure I'm the same way. That's one way how Company One's re-written GRIMM stories can play tricks on you. You're so used to the plot line, until the highlighted and emphasized details make you realize "Woh. That was written for kids?"


What's the most potent lesson in a fairtytale for you?
Don't wait around for some traveling prince.
