Written and performed by
Josh Jonas and set on Long Island, CAPTURE NOW is a unique coming-of-age story about teenage Elijah and his little brother Ace, who learn from each other about rock ' roll, what it means to be cool and who they would die for. During this bittersweet and often funny tale, Elijah is delighted and dazzled by the much younger Ace's uncanny ability to teach him a thing or two about life.
CAPTURE NOW opened officially Off-Broadway on October 22nd to the following enthusiastic reviews: "Striking!
Josh Jonas ups the ante and tells the story with command, aided by
Larry Moss's direction…the illusion has been conveyed…no small feat, that," The New York Times. "Captivating…innovative, insightful drama," The Jewish Exponent. "A vibrant and affecting performance…Jonas has a strong stage presence and seemingly boundless energy. His handsome features are capable of a wide range of expression, radiating joy one minute and conveying profound sorrow the next. The fraternal affection that Elijah expresses seems genuine, and the script includes healthy doses of humor to balance out the play's more dramatic moment," TheaterMania. "Packs a devastatingly honest wallop…this glimmering gem of a play earns every box of Kleenex you'll need to get through it, smoothly proving along the way that even the smallest of people can have a huge impact on our lives," Talkin Broadway.
