November 10, 2021All Together Now: A Global Event Celebrating Local Theater
By his own admission, 15-year-old Eli Fiber, of Saratoga Springs, says that “performing has always been a passion of mine.” In fact, you could say that performing in musical theater is the very fiber of Eli’s being.
“I’ve always enjoyed entertaining people,” says the red-headed high school freshman, who is being home schooled. “When I was younger, I’d be dancing around the house to whatever music we were listening to.”
So it’s no surprise that, on Friday, November 12 and Saturday, November 13, Eli will be at Saratoga City Music Hall participating in a fundraising event entitled All Together Now: A Global Event Celebrating Local Theater.
As part of a 12-member Home Made Theater cast of 12-19-year-olds performing 15 of the Great White Way’s most beloved musical songs and production numbers, Eli will be featured in two numbers: “Stop the World,” from Come From Away, and “Seize the Day,” from Newsies.

“I really do just love entertaining people,” says the Keystone Academy senior who, when she’s not rehearsing or studying, teaches dance to younger kids at Spa City Dance & The Arts on Saratoga Road in Ballston Spa. “Hopefully I can inspire someone to feel the same about performing as I always have.”
The award-winning company’s Youth Theater Conservatory is staging the production, which celebrates the return of live theater to the Capitol Region.
All Together Now will be performed at 7:30 p.m. on both Friday, November 12, and Saturday, November 13. Saratoga City Music Hall is located at 474 Broadway in Saratoga Springs.
