Fast paced and hilarious, GETTIN' THE BAND BACK TOGETHER is the tale of Mitch (Mitchell Jarvis) -- recently forty and cut loose from his job on Wall Street. Forced by finances to move back to his childhood home in Sayreville, New Jersey, Mitch -- a fine musician thought to be the next Bon Jovi -- reunites with his high school band mates in a high-stakes battle of the bands. Best buddies, old girlfriends, high school bullies who never grew up and one hot New Jersey momma make for fast times and the ultimate "do-over" for this Jersey Boy.

GETTIN' THE BAND BACK TOGETHER featured musical direction by Fred Lassen and choreography by Kelly Devine. The George Street Playhouse production was created by scenic designer Derek McLane, lighting designer Ken Billington, costume designerGregory Gale and sound designer Peter Fitzgerald.

The Grundleshotz is a group of performers and writers comprised of Sebastian Arcelus, Fred Berman, Michael Hirstreet, Jenna Coker Jones, Craig Jorczack, Nathan Kaufman, Jay Klaitz, Emily McNamara, Jennifer Miller, Bhavesh Patel, Sarah Saltzberg and Fletcher Young, who helped develop GETTIN' THE BAND BACK TOGETHER through a series of improvisational rehearsals.
