THE ALIENS // SEPTEMBER 20 — OCTOBER 8, 2017
“The Aliens provides no definitive answers, but, wow, does it offer up lots of essential questions.”—Now Magazine
THE COAL MINE THEATRE PRESENTS:
THE ALIENS
Written by Annie Baker & Directed by Mitchell Cushman
Behind a Vermont coffee shop is where misfits Jasper and KJ find asylum from the achingly lonely world around them. Here they are geniuses. Here they are the next best novelist and a spiritual healer. Here they meet seventeen-year-old café employee Evan, who is pulled into to their world of magic mushrooms, philosophical musings, and would-be rock bands. THE ALIENS is a cruel and compassionate examination of a lost generation in modern-day America.
“We’re lucky to be living in the era of Annie Baker,”
— The New Yorker
