PRESENTS

MTI’s All Together Now! is designed as a fundraiser for local theatres to perform live, over the same four-days November 12 - 15, 2021. The past year-and-a-half has been extremely challenging for theatrical organizations and Music Theatre International MTI is offering this exclusive musical revue as a way to support the thousands of theatres who are persevering under trying circumstances.

Currently, there are over 2,500 organizations from all 50 states and 40 countries/territories signed up to participate in the event over the November weekend. There will be over 5,500 individual performances to be seen by over one million audience members.

“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…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.”

About the Show

About the ShowMTI’s Chief Operating Officer and Director of Education & Development, John Prignano remarked that, “…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.”

A NOTE TO THE AUDIENCEAs a live show audience member, you are also the audience for our

streamed at-home viewers, and you will experience first-hand the live

filming of the event! This show uses special effects, strobe and haze. If you are in the front 3 rows, you will

be immersed in the interactive pieces of our production. Enjoy!

On behalf of the Kempenfelt Community Players, welcome back to live theatre! We are so happy that you can join us either in person or from home. Either way, you will know that you are experiencing a LIVE musical theatre even! For more than 40-years now the award-winning Kempenfelt Community Players have been making musicals memorable for generations of people in our community, but this year is very different as KCP had to pivot in order to remain relevant. Our 3 productions for this season have taken 3 unique production paths.

First was our Youth Production of “The Tales of Andergrimm” that was rehearsed and filmed outside and then presented on-demand virtually to school and public audiences. This current production, “All Together Now!”, brings a new learning experience for KCP with the addition of live streaming. We have been able to stretch our learning and skill-building for the technical side of production with this format. Our third presentation, “From a Distance”, will take place in December, again in on-demand streaming. “From A Distance” is a compilation of musical theatre songs, artistically tied together through the creative work of Janet and Chris Ness and performed by a cast of over 25 of youth and adults.

Message from KCP Chairperson

Julie Underhill KCP Chairperson

I would like to thank everyone who has made this transition possible… our tech leads and trainers, our production team members who have ventured into new formats, our volunteers and sponsors. It takes many people to make musical theatre happen and this season took a lot of learning, new experiences and help from many people. We are always on the lookout for anyone who has an interest in theatre. Be sure to visit our website to sign up for our newsletter or just send us an email to info@kempenfeltplayers.com. And, finally, a very sincere thank you to you, our audience, for supporting live theatre in your community.

Message from theMessage from theArtistic DirectorArtistic Director

Local theatre is a lifeline for so many, a second home to some, and an escape from reality for others. After such a jarring end, 21 months ago, I am so excited to share this experience with you, completely live, both in person and online!

MTI has put together a fantastic opportunity to reintroduce the phenomenon of live theatre. “All Together Now!” is a musical review designed as a fundraiser for local theatres to perform live, during the same four day window in November. The Kempenfelt Community Players are one of the over 2500 participating organizations spread out over 40 different countries and territories. It is truly a global event!

Our version is about bringing people back to the theatre and we are coming out swinging with an immersive, interactive experience. I have had the good fortune of being gifted both a stellar cast and production and technical teams, and my hope is to make you laugh, make you cry, make you think, and create an escape from your world for the next 70 minutes.

So sit back, relax, enjoy the magic of live theatre, and remember why this community matters.
