Encore Musical Theatre Presents . . .Encore on the Edge Series

Mark your calendar!  The Encore will be continuing its Encore on the Edge series with a show that might be new to our audience, but has quickly developed a huge following in many theatre circles, and you won't want to miss it!

The Last Five Years is an emotionally powerful and intimate musical about two New Yorkers in their twenties who fall in and out of love over the course of five years. The show's unconventional structure consists of Cathy, the woman (played by Thalia Schramm), telling her story backwards while Jamie, the man (played by Steve DeBruyne), tells his story chronologically; the two characters only meet once, at their wedding in the middle of the show.

Composer of The Last Five Years, Jason Robert Brown, won Drama Desk Awards for the music and the lyrics after the Off-Broadway premiere in 2002. The show has since been produced at almost every major regional theater in the US, and has been seen in Korea, Japan, the Philippines, Germany, Italy, Canada, and Spain.

The Encore's production of The Last Five Years will run for 8 performances only, May 26 through June 5. Tickets are on sale now by visiting our website at http://theencoretheatre.org or by calling our box office at (734) 268-6200.
