From the press release: “THEY’RE PLAYING OUR SONG is a romantic musical comedy about the affair (both professional and romantic) of a wisecracking composer and an aspiring, offbeat lyricist. Creatively, their relationship works great, but personal trials and tribulations lead them toward finding a new way to make harmonious music together in this laugh-a-minute romantic charmer. The show features musical hits “Fallin’,’ ‘If He Really Knew Me’ and ‘Just For Tonight.'”

The production team includes Lucia Lombardi (stage manager), Joaquin Gomez (assistant stage manager), and Samantha Treible (wardrobe supervisor). The musicians are Chel Hernandez (bass),Tony Scandora (drums), and Page Kallop (guitar).
