Over the course of a series of dinners, drinks and even a wedding, his friends – "those good and crazy people [his] married friends" – explain the pros and cons of taking on a spouse. The habitually single Robert is forced to question his adamant retention of bachelorhood during a hilarious array of interactions. Sondheim's game-changing musical is a sophisticated and honest look at modern adult relationships. Rated PG13 for depictions of adult situations. For more info. on adult content, visit AuburnACT.org.
