AUDITION INFO

The production will feature the two leads (double cast) as well as a small (acting only) ensemble. The lead roles require very experienced and dynamic singers with healthy technique and strong stamina as well as a versatile acting range. These roles are true character studies and call for actors with mature emotional awareness and willingness to do the work of building complex characters and relationships.

Once your audition form is submitted, the director will send audition materials via email.

There will be some flexible rehearsing in December (with time off for the holidays), and more intensive rehearsal will begin after the first of the year.  The show runs March 7-17.

ABOUT THE SHOW


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, telling her story backwards while Jamie, the man, tells his story chronologically; the two characters only meet once, at their wedding in the middle of the show.

A Drama Desk winner, The Last Five Years, has been translated into a handful of languages and was named one of TIME Magazine's ten best shows of 2001. A testament to the show's longevity, and spurred by the show's regional popularity, The Last Five Years enjoyed an Off-Broadway revival at Second Stage in 2013.

This show contains content and language which may not be suitable for all ages.

ABOUT THE SHOW

Brooke Wyeth returns home to Palm Springs after a six-year absence to celebrate Christmas with her parents, her brother, and her aunt. Brooke announces that she is about to publish a memoir dredging up a pivotal and tragic event in the family’s history—a wound they don’t want reopened. In effect, she draws a line in the sand and dares them all to cross it. “Astutely drawn…juicy and surprising.” —NY Daily News. “Power, passion, and superbly crafted palaver stippled with blow darts of wit—this is what Baitz does best.” —NY Magazine.
