A Note From Seattle Theatre Group
It’s my pleasure to welcome you to the historic Paramount Theatre and this performance of Company. With music and lyrics by the inimitable Stephen Sondheim and book by George Furth, Company premiered on Broadway in 1970 to wide acclaim with 14 Tony Award nominations and six wins, including Best Musical. This revival gender-swaps the lead character, Bobbie (formerly Bobby), on the eve of their 35th birthday. Juggling this milestone amidst the pressures of her large friend group’s insistence that Bobbie finally settle down, the audience is transported to modern day New York City. Award winning favorites such as “Sorry-Grateful,” “You Could Drive a Person Crazy,” “Getting Married Today,” and seminal classic “Being Alive” teach Bobbie the pleasures and pains of commitment. This revival became the final production of Sondheim’s that he saw before his passing on November 26, 2021. We host this presentation of Company in his honor.
This month I’m excited to highlight a unique and special partnership between Seattle Theatre Group and the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. Seattle is the host city and STG is a co-host for this year’s Leadership Exchange in Arts and Disability (LEAD) Conference, happening July 29 to August 2. LEAD creates space for arts professionals to develop best practices for inclusive arts experiences through learning, collaboration, and practical solutions to enhance accessibility in cultural venues worldwide. We are proud to be part of making this year’s event possible! For more information visit stgpresents.org/lead.
I also want to call your attention to the lineup for our 2024/25 Performing Arts Series, where we welcome a wide variety of performances including Terrance Blanchard’s “Fire Shut Up in My Bones” in Concert, Mariachi Sol De Mexico de José Hernandez, STOMP, and returning favorites like Seattle Rock Orchestra, Pink Martini, Potted Potter, and Dance Theatre of Harlem. We’re thrilled that one of these shows is a STG commissioned new work by zoe | juniper + Xiu Xiu, a production that continues our commitment to commission artists to make exciting new work that blur the boundaries of style and genre. Have you considered a subscription? Purchase three or more separate STG Performing Arts productions at a discounted rate and get priority access to Broadway at the Paramount season shows. To renew or set up your subscription for the 24/25 Performing Arts Series visit stgpresents.org/season.
Part of STG’s mission is to build stronger community through the shared experience of live performance. Your patronage helps us make this a reality! Please sit back and enjoy the national tour of “phone rings, door chimes, in comes Company.”
Kindest Regards,
Josh LaBelle
