An unbelievable, funny and ultimately moving story about love and its wayward ways. Late one night in a Chicago pub, a young bartender and his girlfriend receive an intriguing proposition from a mysterious last-minute customer who offers them $2,000 to talk with him for an hour. Who wouldn’t take it? What follows is a magical love story filled with laughter, romance, tears and a mystery that will keep the cleverest theatergoer intrigued. Now and Then is a heartfelt romantic comedy/drama about the cost of the choices we make, and the people who make them with us.
