The Aliens

Cost: $9 - $40
Annie Baker's comedy-drama is technically interesting. She wants at least one third of the stage-time to be pauses or long silences. These give the audience time, as the pace of things speeds up everywhere, to reflect. Or, as with 30-ish K.J. and Jasper, to see the world through a slacker/stoner's eye as they slowly influence teenaged Dean. Ion Theatre's production gets the place right, the backyard of a coffee shop, but not the characters or the pauses.
