Happy Opening Night to THEATER 2020, presenting Stephen Sondheim’s musical masterpiece “COMPANY,” in a limited run of 16 performances, Thursday, April 17th - Sunday, May 11th, 2025.

On the night of his “35th” birthday, Robert contemplates his singular life through his relationships with his married friends, his girlfriends, and his loneliness in their midst. This show is Robert’s journey, through memories of his interplay with his friends, from the selfishness of bachelorhood to selflessness of true company. From musical theatre’s most renowned composer, Stephen Sondheim, Company is largely regarded as a trailblazer of the modern musical. Sondheim himself considered this to be a seminal work, when he finally found his musical “voice.”

CREATIVE: Director David Fuller, Choreographer Judith Jarosz (NYITA & Nytheater.com Award, GLAAD nom.), Music Director/Pianist Mitchell Brownell, Lighting Design Giles Hogya, Costume Design Robert Jay Pugh, PSM Molly Conklin , ASM Jest Spickler.

CAST: Corey Barron, Megan Benjamin*, Elena Blyskal, Claudia Cromley*, Annie Hunt*,
Gavin Kenny, Glenn Joseph Klier, Eva Marie Mastrangelo*, Bess Morrison*,

The dynamic duo returns! Billy Siegenfeld & Jordan Batta perform FORTITUDE OR AND GENTLENESS this Fri-Sun, info at https://jumprhythm.org/

A rehearsal between two actors turns into explosions of angst, politics, literature, motherhood, forgiveness, and love — with snatches of song, a handful of dances, rants about life, and impassioned appeals to both the moon and Jane Austen.
