The Play:
Now & Then is a play about hope and regret. "One night in 1981, just as Jamie is closing the bar where he works, a desperate last-minute customer offers him and his girlfriend Abby two thousand dollars to sit and have a drink with him. Who wouldn't take it? As the trio swaps stories and Jamie considers the decisions he faces about his musical career and his future with his girlfriend Abby. the young couple begins to realize that this older man is unusually invested in their choices... and the reason he gives them is completely unbelievable. But when a very displeased second stranger (The Woman) arrives, the unbelievable begins to look like it just might be true. Now & Then is a heartfelt romantic comedy about the costs of the choices we make, and the people who make them with us."
