Chamber Chat: Bob Powell to speak at Growing Guthrie Leaders

Hello! I hope you are having a great week in Guthrie. The Pollard Theatre presents “Company” from June 19 to July 11. In this landmark “concept” show, considered by many to have inaugurated the modern era of musical theatre. Company follows our anti-hero bachelor Robert as he makes his way through a series of encounters with single women as well as  his married friends. On the night of his 35th birthday, confirmed bachelor Robert contemplates his unmarried state. In vignette after hilarious vignette, we are introduced to “those good and crazy people,” his married friends, as Robert weighs the pros and cons of married life. In the end, he realizes being alone is “alone, not alive”. Mature Audience

If you have driven downtown on a Saturday morning you’ve seen the new location of the Farmer’s Market.
