The Last Five Years follows the story of Cathy, a struggling actress, and Jamie, a budding novelist on the brink of wild success, who meet, fall in love, marry, and divorce over the span of five years. As the musical unfolds, Cathy tells the story from the end of their marriage, moving backward in time to the beginning of the relationship, as Jamie moves forward from their first date to their last goodbye; they meet only once, in the middle, at their wedding. This poignant, funny, and devastatingly honest two-person musical has enraptured audiences around the world with its spellbinding and emotional score.
A Reading of BLUE COWBOY
A gay writer from New York travels to Ketchum, Idaho to work on a film script set in Sun Valley. His plans and life take a wildly unanticipated turn after he has a chance encounter with an elusive ranch hand at the town’s annual Trailing of the Sheep Festival.
A reading of IRONBOUND
At a bus stop in a run-down New Jersey town, Darja, a Polish immigrant cleaning lady, is done talking about feelings; it’s time to talk money. Over the course of 20 years, and three relationships, Darja negotiates for her future with men who can offer her love or security, but never both. Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Martyna Majok’s Ironbound is a darkly funny, heartbreaking portrait of a woman for whom love is a luxury—and a liability—as she fights to survive in America.
