Wyckoff Schools Will Participate In Workshop 'All Together Now!'

WYCKOFF, NJ — The Wyckoff District Music Department will be among 2,500 organizations worldwide taking part in "All Together Now," a global event celebrating local theater, this weekend.

"All Together Now" is run by Music Theatre International, a New York-based licensing company that provides local theater companies with the rights to perform musicals.

This weekend, MTI will wave all of its fees so schools and theater companies worldwide can perform songs from its catalog — and the Wyckoff District Music Department is among organizations from all 50 states and 40 countries that will take part.

Almost 250 students from all five Wyckoff schools will perform 15 songs, written by composers such as Jonathan Larson, Kristen Anderson-Lopez, Sara Bareilles and Stephen Sondheim, Kyle Cosman, general music teacher at Calvin Coolidge School, tweeted.

Their performance will be taped on Friday at 6 p.m. at Eisenhower Middle School, and will premiere on YouTube at 7 p.m. Saturday. It can be streamed on Sunday and Monday as well.

Information on how to stream the performance can be found here.

"The excitement for All Together Now! among our customers is growing by the day," Drew Cohen, president and CEO of MTI Worldwide, said. "Our theatre industry colleagues have also been incredibly supportive and we are thrilled to have a growing roster of Partners (listed below) contributing from so many disciplines within the professional theatre community. 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."
