Both the men and women in "Company" are ambivalent about love and commitment. Amy (Samara Levenstein, ideally cast) frets and over-analyzes her way to the altar to marry quiet, sensitive Paul (deftly played by Paul Siemens). On the other hand, Harry and Sarah (Doug Rand and Kate deLima) extol the virtues of life-long committment while barely disguising their hostility toward one another. DeLima perfectly captures her character's sexual frustration, which she vents in a hilarious scene about food-related auto-eroticism...

First, Willum's client, Tiki (Ed Upton) appears with his wife, Clelia (Kate deLima) and son, Thor (Doug Miller). Together, they comprise a paradigm for a dysfunctional family. As a couple, Tiki and Clelia are meticulously clad in brown clothes to emphasize that the are the curmudgeon's curmudgeons. Upton's Tiki speaks with a stiff upper lip and in a controlled baritone. His impressive range allows him to play convincingly a much older character...
...distressed wife, deLima's Clelia is a hilarious mix of misguided energy. When their domestic squabbles erupt, Clelia satisfies her frustration with a fetish for breaking plates wrapped in napkins...
