For its current production of Company, Sondheim’s musical tribute to thirtysomething urban dwellers, Signature Theatre has dug deep into its own company: All of the actors have performed in at least two previous productions with the Arlington theater. A dark musical comedy about the woes of adult relationships might hit too close to home, but when your romantic foibles are set to song and dance, they seem a little less troublesome. It’s just like last Saturday night—once more, with feeling. Read more >>> The production runs May 21 to June 30 at Signature Theatre, 4200 Campbell Ave., Arlington. $25-$80.
