SONDHEIM CLASSIC: Rehearsing for the upcoming production of “Company” by Off-Centre Stages at Kelsey Theatre are, from left: Rachel Estrada as Marta, Elizabeth Axler as April, Nick Olszewski as Robert, and Izzy DiCampli as Kathy.

The search for love — and cocktails — in New York comes into sharp perspective when Off-Centre Stages presents the musical comedy, Stephen Sondheim’s “Company,” July 31 to August 9 at the Kelsey Theatre on Mercer County Community College’s West Windsor Campus.

It’s Bobby’s 35th birthday, and he’s still single, trying to find a way to have a serious relationship without a serious commitment. But as his friends — all couples at different stages in their marriages — impose their unique perspectives of relationship function and dysfunction, Bobby is forced to consider relaxing his determined grip on bachelorhood.

Featuring some of Stephen Sondheim’s best-known songs, including “Side by Side by Side,” “Marry Me a Little,” and “Being Alive,” Company was originally produced in 1970 and was nominated for a record-setting 14 Tony Awards, winning seven. It was among the first musicals to deal with contemporary dating, marriage, and divorce, and is an example of a concept musical lacking a linear plot, relying on a series of vignettes.

Dates and showtimes are Fridays, July 31 and August 7 and Saturdays, August 1 and 8 at 7:30 p.m.; with matinee performances Saturdays, August 1 and 8 and Sundays, August 2 and 9 at 1:30 p.m.

All performances are at the Kelsey Theatre on Mercer County Community College’s West Windsor Campus, 1200 Old Trenton Road. Tickets are $26 for adults and $24 for seniors and students. Visit kelseytheatre.org.
