FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
"Together" is a Cabaret concert for our turbulent political times. We follow two entertainers, David Stephens and Daniel Johnson, from their meeting at the 1996 Gay Pride Festival in NYC, through their long-term, long-distance relationship, to establishing their home in Oak Park. Along the way, they defy the odds and build a lasting love despite physical separation and societal challenges. These seasoned cabaret performers will amuse and musically transport the audience with stories about their lives as out Gay men in an uncommon interracial relationship.

The show features songs by Stephen Sondheim, Cole Porter, Cy Coleman, Dave Frishberg, Rick Astley and many more from stage and screen.
