Each year, our Centre of Excellence for Performing Arts students wow audiences with their very own theatre shows, musicals and dance productions at the Cronton Playhouse and other venues across the region.

Tickets & Upcoming Shows:

Stephen Sondheim’s COMPANY

Stephen Sondheim’s COMPANY is a ground-breaking musical set in New York in 1970. It was nominated for a record-breaking 14 Tony Awards and is a notable example of a concept musical. Robert is a well-liked single man living in New York City whose friends are married or engaged couples. The couples are Joanne and Larry, Peter and Susan, Harry and Sarah, David and Jenny, and Paul and Amy. It is Robert’s 35th birthday and the couples have gathered to throw him a surprise party. When Robert fails to blow out any candles on his birthday cake, the couples promise him that his birthday wish will still come true, although Robert wished for nothing, and said that his friends are all he needs (“Company”).
