Set during the rural economic slowdown of the 1970s, playwright Sam Shepard's universally acclaimed Buried Child resonates as strongly today as it did when it launched Shepard's career in 1978. A Pulitzer winner for drama, Buried Child makes for a fierce, forceful and unforgettable portrayal of the realities of the American Dream. The realistic masterpiece mixes comedy and drama, keen commentary and deep emotion in a squalid farm home occupied by a clan filled with suppressed violence, apparent unhappiness and dark secrets. Kenneth Kelleher directs this San Jose Stage Company production. Learn More

Great show! Excellent singers! We especially liked Luke Anthony, the narrator, who was a good actor/MC as well as singer--lively, energetic and engaging. The theatre is small and comfortable, and Heaven's Dog (7th and Mission) is a good place to go for dinner before the show.Written on Jul 20 2009

This was a preview so it should get better. The older male actor and the two female actresses had the better voices of the cast. I did not care for the two young males' singing voices at all. There also did not seem to be any real chemistry between the couples. Some of the audience members thought the cast was uneven as far as abilities and talents. I would agree.Written on Jul 17 2009

More Information About Stephen Sondheim's Putting it Together
Description
A revue with a difference. A revue that tells a story. A show that covers one night and forty years. A show that takes place today and also in 200 B.C., 1853, 1882, 1900, the 1950s, the 1970s, the 1980s and tonight.
It's a revue that's a little Ingmar Bergman, a little Edward Albee, a little Kaufman and Hart, and a whole lot of Stephen Sondheim.
Sondheim himself conceived this evening of his hits, as well as lesser known masterpieces, from "Sweeney Todd", "Into the Woods", "Sunday in the Park With George", "Company", "A Little Night Music", "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum", "Merrily We Roll Along", "Assassins", and the film, "Dick Tracy".
Putting it Together is a musical "review" that delights, dazzles and devastates as an older couple (Amy Dondy and Ty Blair*), whose marriage is on the brink, entertains a younger pair (Giana DeGesio and Scott Gessford) who are learning the joys, and fears, of a life together.
Narrated by a mysterious stranger (Luke Anthony), "Putting it Together" is both a testament to the craft and passion of Stephen Sondheim, as well as an entertaining, and unexpectedly emotional story, that fits together as perfectly as the puzzles that Sondheim so famously loves.
