Welcome to All Together Now!

Bridge Players Theatre Company and Lyceum Hall Center for the Arts thank you so much for joining us today to share the excitement of All Together Now!

This is Bridge Players' first live indoor performance in a long time. More than 18 months ago, theatre stages around the world went dark. Just as Bridge Players was about to hold its annual fundraiser, the world suddenly shut down.

Today, we welcome you to a global event celebrating local theatre. An organization called Music Theatre International, one of the largest licensing companies for musical productions, put together this musical revue featuring songs from its catalog. And this weekend, around the world, theatre companies are performing this very same show.

So, we ask you to sit back, relax, and enjoy the energy of live theatre!
