Woof! Theatre Productions, who last year brought “Godspell” to The Dairy, presents Stephen Sondheim’s romantic musical comedy, Company. Company is an honest, sophisticated, and hilarious look at relationships and marriage. On the night of his 35th birthday, confirmed bachelor, Robert, contemplates his unmarried state. In vignette after hilarious vignette, we are introduced to “those good and crazy people,” his married friends. Company features some of Sondheim’s best compositions including “Another Hundred People,” “The Ladies Who Lunch,” and “Being Alive.”

Because of adult themes, this production is most suitable for children 14 and up.

THE MAN WHO MARRIED HIS MOTHER-IN-LAW (Starring Rob Kramer) When Gerald’s mother-in-law, Spiffy, finds out she hasn’t got long to live, Gerald concocts a plan to keep her estate “in the family.” But when they move down to Florida to wait out Spiffy’s death sentence at Riddle Key, old friends and new faces threaten to spoil the scheme unless Gerald can pull off the perfect murder.

MARGARET FAYDLE COMES TO TOWN (Starring Betsy Grisard) Lucy Stickler’s husband Bob has been on his best behavior for the past twenty years, but when Margaret Faydle, the femme fatale who stole him from Lucy when they were young, takes up residence at Riddle Key, Bob goes back into action. So Lucy constructs a diabolical plan to get rid of her cheating spouse and his AARP inamorata once and for all.

MATCH WITS WITH MINKA LUPINO (Starring in her limited engagement return to Denver, Mari Geasair) Minka Lupino works in the Riddle Key main offices and is a fan of crime novels who becomes an avenging angel on a mission to rid the retirement community of its predators: the conniving heirs and the sticky-fingered health-care workers who prey upon helpless senior citizens.
