Yes, there is more than one “All Together Now!” production in town: Actually, there are hundreds across the country. MTI allowed community theater companies to put together shows, royalty-free, on one weekend, to celebrate the resilience of local performing arts. I’ve told you plenty about Good Company Players’ big production of “All Together Now!,” hosted by Chris Colfer, which takes place on Sunday, Nov. 14. CMT is offering its own version of the show on Saturday as a gala fundraiser. Because companies were offered a list of songs from which they could choose, the two shows will likely be quite different.
The host: Brandon Delsid, a former CMT and Good Company performer, is back in town after a professional career that includes hosting a New York Fashion Week TV show and appearing in the off-Broadway musical version of “The Big Bang Theory.”

The tickets: $25 adults, $10 children.
