Thurs., June 14: 7:30-9:30pm

Snow White, Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, and Sleeping Beauty, have found a way to escape from their centuries-old fairy tales. Arriving in the “real world,” they quickly attract the attention of the media and the public. As the four attempt to discover the meaning of life, they end up becoming reality show celebrities. Then they begin to realize that the real world, similar to the fairy tale world, is full of tricks and traps. Fame, love, youth, and marriage are each unsolved riddles.

Off We Fly Now challenges the boundaries between fairy tales and the truth. Perhaps, after all, the tales were written to prepare us for life in the real world.

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.

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.
