The Last Five Years is a fresh and contemporary musical from Tony-Award winning composer Jason Robert Brown. The Last Five Years presents a young couple's romance in a new and exciting way.

The Last Five Years opened at Off-Broadway's Minetta Lane Theatre on March 3rd, 2002 and will make its debut at San Pedro's Warner Grand Theatre on August 7, 2009.

Jason Robert Brown's storyline moves in opposite directions at the same time. Ray Buffer and Marla McClure essay the roles of Jamie Wellerstein and Cathy Hyatt, a couple who meet, fall in love, get married, and then divorce, all in a short period of five years. However, Jamie's story progresses in a forward order from the time of the couple's first meeting to their painful breakup, while Cathy's memories are presented backward, moving from the end of their relationship to its first hopeful moments. Funny and uplifting, the show captures some of the most heartbreaking and universally felt moments of modern romance.

The Relevant Stage Theatre Company at Warner Grand Theater will present The Last Five Years for three weekends in August, 2009


The Relevant Stage is...

The Relevant Stage is a bold, new company in residence at the beautifully restored Warner Grand Theatre in the charming, downtown San Pedro arts district located amid wonderful art galleries, a variety of "A" rated eateries, and uncluttered area parking.

Productions are conveniently scheduled to allow plenty of time for brunch or an early bird meal before our 1:00 PM matinées, and dinner and coffee before and after our 7:00 PM evening curtains, conveniently located steps away from the theatre, in the Port Town of Los Angeles.

The Relevant Stage produces works that are great, stimulating stories which have contemporary relevance to social issues. Entertainment is just the beginning. The Relevant Stage will challenge hearts and engage minds.

Located at 478 WEST 6th St in San Pedro, CA 90731, The Warner Grand Theatre is a lavish, art-deco theater opened to the public on January 20, 1931 during the magical decades for films in the 1920s and 1930s. Jack Warner called it "The Castle of Your Dreams."

Designed by architect B. Marcus Priteca and interior designer A.T. Heinsbergen. Mr. Priteca designed three lavish art-deco palaces which were located in San Pedro, Beverly Hills, and Huntington Park. Priteca later designed Hollywood's famous Pantages Theater. The Warner Grand is the last of the three original theaters left intact.
