Music and Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim; Book by George Furth

The Garden Theatre closes its 5th anniversary season with Stephen Sondheim’s classic Company , starring Founding Artistic Director Logan Vaden as Bobby alongside a cast made up entirely of Garden Theatre favorites.

On the night of his 35th birthday, Bobby finds himself unable to decide on a wish as he blows out his candles. A confirmed bachelor surrounded by “those good and crazy people”—his married friends—Bobby is torn between accepting his life as it is and wondering if something (or someone) is missing.

Through a series of dinner parties, first dates, and candid conversations, Bobby explores the highs, lows, and absurdities of modern relationships, gaining insight into marriage, commitment, and his own persistent bachelorhood. Stephen Sondheim’s groundbreaking musical is a mature, intelligent, and wildly funny look at love, vulnerability, and what it truly means to be alive.

Join The Garden Theatre on Saturday, April 11 at 8pm to celebrate the theatre’s 5th birthday and Logan Vaden’s 35th birthday with cake and a complimentary champagne toast following the performance.Read more

by Wallace Shawn

There is, perhaps, no piece of theatre that better reflects the present moment than The Designated Mourner , a fiercely political, deeply personal play concerning class, identity, culture, and enemies. This will be Catastrophic’s third production of Shawn’s masterwork, a late addition to our season as was our second in January 2017. The times called for it then, they cry for it now.

Through a series of monologues and short scenes, three characters walk us through a labyrinthine tale spanning the years before, during, and after a populist uprising in an unnamed country, now teetering on the edge of authoritarianism, whose government has targeted the cultural intelligentsia for imprisonment and execution. As the story unwinds, it plumbs the depths of love, contempt, privilege, enemies, beauty, envy, “the self,” and what, if anything, we are willing to sacrifice for the things we believe.Read more
