The Vineyard was encouraged by its in-house developmental lab production earlier this year. The full staging will play March and April 2012 at Vineyard's home on East 15th Street. Specific dates will be announced.

Now. Here. This. is written by Hunter Bell and Susan Blackwell, with music and lyrics by Jeff Bowen, and is based on a collaboration by Hunter Bell, Michael Berresse, Susan Blackwell, Heidi Blickenstaff, Jeff Bowen and Larry Pressgrove. They all previously collaborated on the Tony-nominated musical [title of show], which debuted at The Vineyard in 2006 prior to its run on Broadway two years later.

Performed by Bell, Blackwell, Blickenstaff and Bowen, Now. Here. This. is directed and choreographed by Berresse. Musical direction and arrangements are by Pressgrove, who leads a four-piece band.

The work is billed as "an original 'theatri-concert' that investigates and celebrates living in the present, featuring autobiographical stories, songs, and a multi-piece band."

The collaborators characterize the show this way: "The piece explores what goes down in the space between the past and the future, and how the universe conspires to bring people together." Schedule and design team for Now. Here. This. will be announced.

[title of show] debuted Off-Broadway at The Vineyard in February 2006. In 2008, it opened on Broadway, with The Vineyard as a producing partner. Bell earned a 2009 Tony Award nomination for Best Book of a Musical for [title of show].
