The Garden Theatre

Company

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.
