Jason Robert Brown's The Last Five Years is an emotionally powerful and intimate musical that charts the five-year relationship of Jamie and Cathy, two 20-something New Yorkers who fall head over heels in love. But in a city where professional and personal passions collide, navigating the waters of love and matrimony can sometimes prove to be too much. Jamie, an up-and-coming writer, struggles to balance his sudden success with his increasingly tumultuous love life, while Cathy, an aspiring actress, deals with the frustrations of her own stalled career while watching her husband from the sidelines.

The ingenious structure of the play has Jamie telling his side of the tale in chronological order, while Cathy relives the relationship backwards, with both stories intersecting in the middle, on their wedding day.  The show was named one of TIME Magazine's ten best shows of 2001, and as a testament to the show's longevity, The Last Five Years enjoyed an Off-Broadway revival at Second Stage in 2013. A film adaptation was released in 2014, starring Anna Kendrick and Jeremy Jordan.

This production is presented in collaboration by CCAC and Studio Theatre of Bath, and stars Kyle Blount and Becca Lewis. Co-directed by Marc Rodriguez and Thom Watson.
