News: Theater 2020 Presents Sondheim's "Company" April 17th-May 11th

Theater 2020, Brooklyn Heights’ NY award winning professional theater company has announced its spring mainstage run of the Stephen Sondheim 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.”

Directed by David Fuller and choreographed by Judith Jarosz (NYITA & Nytheater.com Award, GLAAD nom.), with musical direction and piano by Mitchell Brownell, lighting design by Giles Hogya, and costume design by Robert Jay Pugh, Company's cast features Corey Barron, Megan Benjamin*, Elena Blyskal, Claudia Cromley*, Annie Hunt*, Gavin Kenny, Glenn Joseph Klier, Eva Marie Mastrangelo*, Bess Morrison*, Emma Noelani*, Stefanie Richardson, Karlo Siriban, Sawyer Whitted, and Jordan Wolk*.

How To Eat an Orange Written by Catherine Filloux Based on the writing of Claudia Bernardi Directed by Elena Araoz Presented by La MaMa Experimental Theatre Club at The Downstairs at La MaMa 66 E 4th St., Manhattan, NYC May 30-June 16, 2024 Paula Pizzi. Photo by Steven Pisano How To Eat an Orange , making its world premiere at La MaMa, does in fact include a real orange as a prop, and its multifarious symbolizations–evoking at different points cultural specificity, family history, matriarchal inheritance, and even a skull–are representative of the play's boundary-blurring, non-linear presentation of memory.

Photo by Natasha Rotondaro In 1948, Tennessee Williams published American Blues , a collection of five one-act plays, and a remarkable new production of this collection by Brooklyn's Irondale shows that these works have lost none of their power to both entertain and challenge audiences in the intervening three-quarters of a century. Comprising plays written in the decade between 1936 and 1946 - Moony's Kids Don't Cry (1936); The Dark Room (1939); The Case of the Crushed Petunias (1941); The Long Stay Cut Short, or, the Unsatisfactory Supper (1946); and Ten Blocks on the Camino Real (1946) - American Blues represents the second part of Irondale's American Century, the first install...
