CAPTURE NOW, a new play by Josh Jonas officially opened on October 22 at The Theaters at 45 Bleecker Street (45 Bleecker Street) in Manhattan.

CAPTURE NOW is directed by Larry Moss, whose previous directing credits include the Off-Broadway productions of THE SYRINGA TREE by Pam Gien, RFK for The Culture Project, the recent RUNT OF THE LITTER by former pro-football player Bo Eason at 37 Arts, as well as the play BEAST ON THE MOON.

Written and performed by Josh Jonas and set on Long Island, CAPTURE NOW is a unique coming-of-age story about teenage Elijah and his little brother Ace, who learn from each other what it means to be cool, who they would die for, and how rock 'n' roll can humanize even the youngest of souls.

A playwright and an actor, Josh Jonas' other plays include ELVIS SAVANT and NO-HITTER. His acting credits include the New York premiere of Obie Award-winner Scott Organ's BELLY OF THE WHALE and Bryden Macdonald's DIVINITY BASH, as well as having played the lead in Billy Drago's film "Worn Like a Tattoo." Mr. Jonas was born and raised in Huntington, Long Island.

CAPTURE NOW has scenic design by Meghan Williams; lighting design by Matthew Richards and sound design by Shannon Slaton.

Producer Kurt Peterson (James William Productions) has served as producer of such notable productions as SONDHEIM: A MUSICAL TRIBUTE at the Shubert Theatre and Rob Marshall's national tour of SIDE BY SIDE BY SONDHEIM, as well as co-producing the London and New York productions of GYPSY starring Angela Lansbury and Stephen Schwartz's new musical CAPTAIN LOUIE.

Producer Jane Bergere (Jane Bergere Productions) is currently represented on Broadway with ALL MY SONS, starring John Lithgow, Diane Weist, Patrick Wilson and Katie Holmes, and 13, A NEW MUSICAL.
