The Last Five Years

Book, Music and Lyrics by Jason Robert Brown.

October 22,23,24,25 – 7:30 PM

The Last Five Years is an intensely personal look at the relationship between a writer and an actress told from both points of view.  The how is presented in forward time as we follow the story of their relationship from Jamie’s perspective, starting with their first meeting and following through the next five years.  At the same time, Cathy relates the story in reverse starting with their breakup and moving backwards in time until their first meeting.  It is only in the middle of the story that the two come together as Jamie proposed and the two are wed.  The Last Five Years manages to reinvent the love story and offers up one of the brightest, freshest scores of the new century.  This contemporary masterpiece features local talent Lia Bauer Culbert and Bradley Weber.
