Dark Horse Theatre

The Companion—Onstage at Pantages

Dark Horse Theatre thanks everyone who braved the horrendous, wet, miserable weather and gave us a marvelous first night! For the rest of you, we’d love it if you checked out the futuristic dramedy “The Companion”. Think about 20 years into the future, in a prison; an inmate’s rehabilitation therapy goes somewhat askance just before his release, with both amusing and unsettling results. For a unique experience check out this thought-provoking production filled with wonderful performances from our talented cast! You’ll enjoy it!
