ABOUT
Now. Here. This. is a one-act musical written by Hunter Bell, Susan Blackwell, and Jeff Bowen—the team behind [title of show]. The show is structured as a series of vignettes centered around four friends exploring a natural history museum. As they move through the exhibits, they reflect on key moments from their lives, using humor, heart, and music to explore identity, belonging, and the fleeting nature of time. The title itself is a reference to a concept by spiritual teacher Thomas Merton, encouraging awareness of the present moment: now, here, this.
With a blend of quirky storytelling and introspective songs, Now. Here. This. celebrates the beauty of being fully present. Each character shares personal stories ranging from awkward adolescence to moments of clarity and transformation, revealing how our past shapes who we are. The musical’s minimal set and meta-theatrical style invite the audience into a communal, almost therapeutic experience, underscoring the idea that our stories—however small or strange—are what connect us.
