COMPANY to Play Kelsey Theatre in West Windsor This Summer
Jonathan Edmondson directs a cast led by Nick Olszewski at the West Windsor Campus venue.
Off-Centre Stages will present the witty, fast-paced musical comedy Stephen Sondheim's 'Company,' July 31 to Aug. 9 at the Kelsey Theatre on Mercer County Community College's West Windsor Campus.
It's Bobby's 35th birthday, and he's still single, trying to find a way to have a serious relationship without a serious commitment. But as his friends-all couples at different stages in their marriages--impose their unique perspectives of relationship function and dysfunction, Bobby is forced to consider relaxing his determined grip on bachelorhood.
Featuring some of Stephen Sondheim's best-known songs, including "Side by Side by Side," "Marry Me a Little," and "Being Alive,' 'Company' was originally produced in 1970 and was nominated for a record-setting 14 Tony Awards, winning seven. It was among the first musicals to deal with contemporary dating, marriage, and divorce, and is an example of a concept musical lacking a linear plot, relying on a series of vignettes.
