The Aliens

Annie Baker

On a warm summer night in the back lot of a Vermont coffee shop, two young slackers dream of making it big in music while drink- ing ‘shroom spiked tea and drawing a local teenager into their hazy and surprisingly poignant world. The regional premiere of a new play by one of America’s fastest rising playwrights, The Aliens is a surprising and moving meditation on friendship, compas- sion and a generation of young Americans trying to find their place in the world.
