COMPANY to Open at Ojai Art Center Theater This Summer
Performances will run from June 12 to July 12.
The Ojai Art Center Theater will present one of Broadway's most beloved musicals when Stephen Sondheim's acclaimed comedy Company opens Friday, June 12th. Directed by David Henderson, the production continues weekends through July 12th at the historic Ojai Art Center Theater.
Winner of multiple Tony Awards and widely recognized as a landmark in American musical theater, Company follows Bobby, a single man celebrating his 35th birthday while observing the marriages, friendships, and complicated relationships of the people around him. Through a series of witty and poignant vignettes, the show explores the joys and challenges of human connection with humor, sophistication, and emotional depth.
Audiences will enjoy many of Sondheim's most memorable songs, including Being Alive, The Ladies Who Lunch, and Another Hundred People.
The production features an outstanding ensemble cast led by Kyle Caldwell as Bobby, with Laura Ring as Joanne, Hillary Boyd as Amy, Genevieve Schatz as Marta, Haley Abbott as Kathy, Darrienne Lissette Caldwell as April, Marisa Miculian as Sarah, Kellen Vanetti as Harry, Amber Rae Bowyer as Susan, James Alderete as Peter, Kelly Summers as Jenny, Emily Redman Hall as David, Ven Martinez as Paul, and R. Shayne Bourbon as Larry.
Adding a touch of real-life romance to the production, Kyle Caldwell and Darrienne Lissette Caldwell, who portray Bobby and April, are husband and wife offstage.
Behind the scenes, the production is supported by a talented creative team, including Producer Herb Hemming, Artistic Director and Producer Tracey Williams Sutton, Technical Director Laura Light, Assistant Technical Director Andrew Eiden, Stage Manager Christina Fabbro, Sound Engineer Larry McMillan, Vocal Director Darrienne Lissette Caldwell, Choreographer Janet McNeil, Dance Captain Hillary Boyd, and pianist Andrew Street.
Costumes are designed by Gamyn DelNagro Blacker, sets by Taylor Kasch, and lighting by the design team of David Henderson and Laura Light. Production photography is by Stephen Adams.
"This production highlights not only the genius of Stephen Sondheim, but also the extraordinary talent that exists within our own community," said Tracey Williams Sutton, Artistic Director of the Ojai Art Center Theater. "It's a celebration of live theater and the connections that bring people together."
Performances are Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30 PM and Sundays at 2:00 PM, from June 12th through July 12th. Please note there will be no performance on Saturday, July 4th.
