TOGETHER THIS TIME will be presented at the TADA Theatre on April 27, 2010 at 7pm as part of the Illuminating Artists: Notes from a Page New Work Series, a developmental series for ensemble musicals.

This new rock musical follows novelist Jay Allen Jones as his quest to reconnect with both his girlfriend and his art leads him on a journey between real life and fiction.

Now in order to win her back Jay must return to New York and accept success, finish his book and let go of Jamie, and allow himself to love and be loved in return.

Directed by Jonathan Warman with music direction by Tyler Phillips, the cast of TOGETHER THIS TIME features Tiffan Borelli, Kristy Glass, Kasey Marino, Todd Pettiford, Elysia Segal, Stephen Stocking & Paul Wyatt.
