Written in 1970 "Company" still speaks to our current society. After two years of lockdowns, social distancing, and isolation and quarantine there is nothing most of us want more than company. The story follow Bobby as he comes to grips with being 35, being alone, being with somebody not just some body, and most importantly being alive. This Singers' Theatre production is set firmly in the 21st century, with cell phones replacing answering machines and cultural references and commentary more tailored to our society’s sensibilities.
Sondheim died in November 2021. While this production was planned long before Sondheim’s death, the Denison community is honored to dedicate this performance to his memory.
Performance dates and times are as follows:
Friday, Jan. 28, at 7 p.m.
Saturday, Jan. 29, at 7 p.m.
Sunday, Jan. 30, at 2 p.m.
