MTI's Free Musical, ALL TOGETHER NOW, Is Now Available for Licensing

Theatrical licensor Music Theatre International (MTI) has just announced that theatres around the world can now license All Together Now! - A Global Event Celebrating Local Theatre. This worldwide event celebrates the return of live theatre and allows organizations to locally produce and perform an exclusive musical revue featuring songs from MTI's beloved shows over the weekend of November 12-15, 2021.

MTI's All Together Now! is entirely free-of-charge to license with no royalty or rental fees. Participating organizations may license MTI's All Together Now! as a fundraiser for their theatre and perform it live, live-streamed, or a combination of both over a four-day period from November 12 - 15, 2021.

Licensees will also receive a number of MTI's innovative theatrical resources to help with rehearsals, marketing and performances - all completely free.

"The excitement for All Together Now! among our customers is growing by the day," said Drew Cohen President and CEO of MTI Worldwide. "Our theatre industry colleagues have also been incredibly supportive and we are thrilled to have a growing roster of Partners (listed below) contributing from so many disciplines within the professional theatre community. This is truly a collaborative effort, and we are all extremely excited that any and every type of theatre from schools to the pros has the opportunity to produce MTI's All Together Now! in their communities."

MTI's Chief Operating Officer and Director of Education & Development, John Prignano remarked that, "We've streamlined our licensing process for this special event and there are no restrictions or limits on how many theatres in a particular geographical area can license the revue. Instead, we hope that as many theatres as possible produce the revue on their own, or come together with other organizations in their communities to mount a joint production. We also wanted to give theatres as much creative input as possible. The revue can be presented as a concert-like performance or groups can fully stage, choreograph and costume each song as it is presented in the full version of the show. Theatres are encouraged to feature as diverse a cast as possible, in order to reflect the composition of the entire community. All Together Now! is about bringing people back to the theatre, whether as audience members or cast, crew and musicians. Productions will benefit from a variety of races, genders, abilities, body types, and sizes, so we encourage groups to spread diversity as best they can across all the roles in the production."

About CAST children's theatre

CAST is a theatre organization helping to preserve the arts in the greater Manchester area and beyond. Currently in our 34th year, CAST started as a small children's theatre group, run out the home of its Co-Founder, Donna Mercier. In the beginning, CAST operated primarily during the summer, mounting musical productions out of local schools. However, since inception, CAST has grown ten fold. 

CAST Inc. (dba CAST children's theatre) has its own facility on Summit Street in Manchester, CT and offers year round programming for children ages 5-18. 

CAST is a regional theatre with participants from over 15 communities.

The past 18 months with the COVID-19 pandemic have been challenging. In March, 2020 we transitioned quickly to a virtual model. We finished our Winter/Spring 2020 programs online and started to offer additional virtual workshops and programs through the Spring of 2021. We were able to hold a few small in-person programs until summer of 2021 where we were able to hold an exciting summer program fully outdoors - rehearsals and performances. 

In October, 2021, we re-opened our studio to hold a few classes which are small productions and this program for "All Together Now!". We will be live streaming our events for now to continue keeping everyone safe. 

CAST is a 501 c 3 nonprofit organization. Our Federal Tax ID number is 22-2906484.
