Cumberland Players to Present Sondheim's COMPANY Next Month
The Cumberland Players of Vineland, NJ are pleased to present Stephen Sondheim's Tony Award winning musical Company this July. On the night of his 35th birthday, confirmed bachelor Robert contemplates his unmarried state. Over a series of dinners, drinks, and even a wedding, he learns about the perils and pleasures of love, marriage, dating and divorce. His married friends explain the pros and cons of taking on a spouse and the habitually single Robert is forced to question his bachelorhood.
Company runs July 10, 11, 17, 18, 24, 25 at 8 p.m. and July 12, 19 at 2 p.m. in Cumberland Players home theatre, the "Little Theatre," located at 66 East Sherman Avenue in Vineland, NJ. Tickets are $17, or $14 for seniors, and are available now at CumberlandPlayers.com.
From musical theatre's most renowned composer, Company is largely regarded as a trailblazer of the dark-comedy, modern-musical genre and the winner of 7 Tony Awards including Best Musical, Best Score, Best Lyrics and Best Book. Company features a brilliantly brisk and energetic score, containing many of Stephen Sondheim's best-known songs. Each audience member will see a reflection of themself in at least one of the characters on stage.
