"Phone rings, door chimes, in comes COMPANY!" The
clashing sounds and pulsing rhythms of New York City underscore this
landmark "concept" show, considered by many to have inaugurated the
modern era of musical theatre. Company follows our
anti-hero bachelor Robert as he makes his way through a series of
encounters with April (the stewardess), Kathy (the girl who's going to
marry someone else), Marta (the "peculiar" one), as well as with his
married friends. On the night of his 35th birthday, confirmed bachelor
Robert contemplates his unmarried state. In vignette after hilarious
vignette, we are introduced to "those good and crazy people," his
married friends, as Robert weighs the pros and cons of married life. In
the end, he realizes being alone is "alone, not alive."
Auditions will be held March 17th and 18th at 8:00pm at the
Tower Theater. Call-backs will be held on March 19th.
