Get It Together tells the story of Mary Hewitt, an aspiring poet from Philadelphia on the cusp of her life, as she falls for and rages against Harold Kruger, her Main Line paramour she just can’t figure out. Set across two nights two years apart, the comedy follows the pair through heartbreak, grief, and anxious desire as they question: What the hell is wrong with my family? Do cheaters ever quit? And who will understand me, if not you?

The play, first workshopped at Boston College under the direction of Scott T. Cummings, comes to New York by way of a 2022 Los Angeles production at the Zephyr Theater. The New York productions retains the same cast and features a newly revised second act. Critics called previous iterations “incredibly funny and intensely relatable,” “stunningly authentic,” and “perfectly cast.”

WHAT?

We are campaigning to support this non-profit production of the play at the historic Flea Theater in New York City. The production team, headed by producer Andie Lerner and director Michael Quinn, has a great deal of experience producing in the region and experience producing this particular play once before. As such, we are familiar with New York prices.

We are setting our goal at $23,000. This amount covers the price for the theater rental, designers and materials, marketing, front of house and run-of-show staff, and a 10% contingency reserve.

WHERE

The play opens in November at the Siggy, the downstairs 46-seat theater at the Flea in Tribeca. As the site proclaims, "Our smallest theater is our underground space for ground-breaking performance. The Siggy’s configuration includes a raised stage with multiple entrances and also makes use of the building’s original 18th century arches. The Siggy’s intimate scale is perfect for young companies seeking to produce full-scale work without the burden of filling a large house."
