GET IT TOGETHER

[NoHo Arts District, CA] – Michael Quinn’s GET IT TOGETHER, the incredibly funny and intensely resonating play chronically a fleeting romantic connection that spans two nights in two years, has its world premiere at Los Angeles’ historic Zephyr Theatre July 29, 2022. 

SHOW SYNOPSIS

Michael Quinn’s GET IT TOGETHER follows Mary, an aspiring poet, and Harold, a computer science professional, who find themselves in the spare bedroom of a Philadelphia house party. They haven’t seen each other in years, but they know what they’re heading towards. After a night of confession, teasing and tension, we see their story two years later and what that night has wrought: an unconsummated romance and an affection they apprehend but can’t have. It’s a story of growing into a tangled relationship and finding out what we take from relationships that we know aren’t meant to last.
