On the night o f his 35th birthday, confirmed bachelor Robert contemplates his unmarried state . Over the course o f a series o f dinners, drinks, and even a wedding, his partnered friends explain the pro's and con's of taking on a spouse. The habitually single Robert is forced t o question his adamant retention of bachelorhood during a hilarious array of interactions.

Company i s a conceptual musical that broke the mould of traditional music - theatre in the mid seventies and continues to remain even more relevant today.

Featuring a brisk and energetic score with songs such as 'Being Alive' , 'Ladies Who Lunch', 'You Can Drive a Person Crazy' and many others.

Without the roses or the designer shoes , Company is a snapshot of one man's view o f relationships as he searches for the meaning of  'being alive ' in today's world. The strength of the piece lies in its vivid yet real characters . Every audience member may see reflections of themselves in at least one of  the characters on stage.
