Gretchen Cryer and Nancy Ford, the singer-songwriter team best known for their show I’m Getting My Act Together and Taking It on the Road, will reprise their cabaret show Getting Their Act Together Again at 59E59 Theaters, April 10-20.

The show covers their four decades as friends and professional partners, from their undergraduate years at DePauw University through their marriages, children, and many productions.

The team’s newest musical, Anne of Green Gables, based on the classic children’s novel, is currently being presented by TheaterWorks USA at the Lucille Lortel. In addition, they have written two musicals for The American Girl Company, which are playing in New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles.

Their other work includes Now Is the Time For All Good Men, The Last Sweet Days of Isaac, Shelter, Hang On to the Good Times, and Eleanor. Between them, Cryer and Ford have won Emmy, Obie, Drama Desk, Outer Critics Circle, Ed Kleban, and Joseph Jefferson Awards.
