Now and Then
by Playhouse 2000
Nov. 28 - Nov. 29 (2021)
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, and the reason he gives them is completely unbelievable. When a very displeased second stranger arrives, the unbelievable begins to seem like the truth. Now and Then is a heartfelt romantic comedy about the costs of the choices we make, and the impact on people who make those choices with us.
Sean Grennan is the writer of the hilarious Making God Laugh, which was a popular part of Playhouse 2000’s Season 2017.
