A number of local theater companies are taking part in an international effort to raise money for the industry which has suffered greatly during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The musical revue All Together Now! was created by the licensing company Music Theatre International. According to a news release, it was designed to be presented as a fundraiser for local theater groups that have lost money due to the extended pandemic shutdown.
All Together Now! will be presented by 2,300 schools and theater companies around the world over the course of a weekend. It includes songs from musicals such as Guys and Dolls, Mamma Mia!, My Fair Lady, and Beauty and the Beast.
One production in the Triad is a collaboration meant to benefit six companies including The Little Theatre of Winston-Salem, the North Carolina Black Repertory Company, Stained Glass Playhouse, and others.
All Together Now! will be performed Saturday, November 13, at the Hanesbrands Theatre in Winston-Salem.
The Theater Alliance of Winston-Salem will serve up its own production of the show Monday, November 15. Separate performances are also scheduled in Greensboro, High Point, Mocksville, and Mount Airy.
