Palo Alto Players announced that they will be joining thousands of theatrical organizations around the globe by producing their own local production of Music Theatre International's All Together Now!: A Global Event Celebrating Local Theatre.

Theatrical licensor Music Theatre International created this revue for theatres across the globe to use as a local fundraising event performed over the same weekend of November 12, 2021. Palo Alto Players' performances are scheduled for Saturday, November 13 at 2pm and Sunday, November 14 at 8pm at the Lucie Stern Theater, located at 1305 Middlefield Road in Palo Alto, with a livestream simulcast on November 14 at 8pm.

All Together Now! features songs from MTI's beloved catalogue of musicals including Annie, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Come From Away, Disney and Cameron Mackintosh's Mary Poppins, Disney's Beauty and the Beast, Fiddler on the Roof, Godspell, Guys and Dolls, Hairspray, Into the Woods, Les Misérables, Little Shop of Horrors, Mamma Mia!, Matilda, My Fair Lady, Once on This Island, Rent, Waitress and many more!

MTI's President and CEO, Drew Cohen stated, "MTI's All Together Now! is about bringing people back to the theatre, whether as audience members or cast, crew and musicians. The revue features songs from the world's most iconic musicals, so there is definitely something for everyone to enjoy. Our goal with this worldwide event is for organizations to provide hope, inspiration and excitement to their communities through the transformative power of musical theatre.

All Together Now! is directed by Players' Artistic Director Patrick Klein with music direction by Amanda Ku, and features local Bay Area performers Samantha Arden, Juliet Green, Lauren Jiang, Izetta Fang Klein, Brenna Sammon, Michelle Skinner, Jillian Smith, Alison Starr, David Hundsness, Nick Kenrick, Randy Lee, John Mannion, Andrew Mo, Jason Mooney, Arjun Sheth, and The T.

"It's hard to say if I was more excited to produce All Together Now! because of the sentiment behind the show (a celebration of the return of local theater) or the amazing selection of songs," said Artistic Director Patrick Klein. "Ultimately, though, I think I'm most excited to witness a handful of our insanely talented local performers having a blast on our stage."
