Company Company , a Stephen Sondhiem and George Furth production, opened Ensemble Theatre ' s 1985-86 season with a resounding success. The musical, directed by Suzanne Ramczyk, gave a humorous yet thoughtful look at marriage versus the single life. The story revolved around Bobby, a thirty-five year old New Yorker who is a single man living in an apartment build- ing with five married couples — all of whom would like to see him married like themselves. The audience was intro- duced to these couples through Bobby ' s eyes, and t hey saw the ups and downs of their relationships against the backdrop of Bobby ' s own questions about marriage and his reluctance to commit himself. Weaving in and out of the story are Bobby ' s assorted girlfriends, who show what it is like to try to deal with Bobby during his quest for the perfect mate. The audience found Company a sheer delight with its talented cast, crew and director. Another successful passage for BSC ' s drama program. The theme song, Company , echoes as Bobby feels the pressure from his married friends. Getting Married Today , a song sung by Paul and Amy is about their conflict with their relation- ship. 28 Student Life

Many students participated in the show, performing music by Cats, Village People, and Bruce Springsteen. The First Place winners were the Senior Class Officers performing a song by the Village People. The night was a exciting one and many people enjoyed being on stage, being given a chance to be a Star for just one night.
