Sun., May 20: 3-6pm
Shoreline Community College Musical Theater program is proud to present Stephen Sondheim’s Company – coming to the Campus Theater in May 2018. From musical theatre’s most renowned composer and the winner of seven Tony Awards, including Best Musical, Best Score, Best Lyrics, and Best Book, Company is regarded as a trailblazer of the dark-comedy, modern-musical genre.
Set in New York, Company follows five married, once married, or soon to be married couples and their mutual friend, Robert, a 35-year-old bachelor who has been unable to establish a long-term relationship. The couples are presented in a series of vignettes, primarily through Bobby’s eyes, so that we see the less than ideal aspects of commitment. However, can it be that the committed are happy? Bobby learns that relationships aren’t perfect, but are they a necessary part of *Being Alive*?
Featuring a brilliant, brisk, and energetic score containing many of Sondheim’s best-known songs, Company will have audience members seeing reflections of themselves in the relationships on stage.
Tickets at Brown Paper Tickets or at the door.
