Ohio Northern University’s Freed Center for the Performing Arts will present “Company” at 7:30 p.m. on Oct. 23-25 and matinee performances at 2 p.m. Oct. 25-26.

The clashing sounds and pulsing rhythms of New York City underscore this landmark “concept” show, considered by many to have inaugurated the modern era of musical theatre. “Company” follows anti-hero bachelor Robert as he makes his way through a series of encounters with April (the stewardess), Kathy (the girl who’s going to marry someone else), Marta (the peculiar one), as well as his married friends.
