The Last Five Years

By Jason Robert Brown

Directed by Robby McGhee

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.

Produced by All In Productions at Next Act Theatre, 255 S. Water St., Milwaukee, WI

Auditions

Auditions will be held on the following days:

8/9/2014
8/10/2014

Auditions will be held inside the Grand Avenue Mall at the Underground Collaborative (161 W Wisconsin Ave., Milwaukee, Wisconsin) on Saturday, August 9th from 12pm – 3pm and Sunday, August 10th from 3pm - 5pm at the same location. Callbacks will start no earlier than 5PM on Sunday, and will begin once we have seen everyone who arrived before 5PM on that day.

Those desiring to audition must be 18 years of age or older. If you cannot make either date, email All In Productions to arrange an audition time.

Please come whenever it is convenient within the allotted times. There may be a slight wait depending on number of people attending auditions. Also, anyone who arrives after 3pm on Saturday or 5pm on Sunday may not be heard. Those who come to audition will be asked to bring a headshot/resume and to have an entire song prepared from Jason Robert Brown’s The Last Five Years. An accompanist will be provided.
We are looking for one man and one woman (both mid-twenties in appearance).

Callbacks will consist of singing sides from the show.

The rehearsal process is currently scheduled to begin in early November and will require actors to be available Monday and Tuesday evenings from 6-9pm. This will be negotiable as the actors do not always share the stage. Materials will be distributed after the cast is finalized and those who are cast will be required to come to the rehearsal process fully memorized. Performances are surrounding the holidays, please make certain you are available for every performance before you make the decision to audition.
