The Last Five Years
Red Branch Theatre Company (RBTC) will open its sixth
main stage season with The Last Five Years
and john & jen in repertory
billed under the series title “The Love/Loss Cycle.” This is the first time
that Red Branch will produce two shows in repertory since its inception in
2008.
The Last Five Years chronicles a five-year relationship between
writer Jamie Wellerstein and actress Cathy Hiatt in a series of alternating
musical soliloquies. Cathy’s story is told in reverse chronological order from
the end of their relationship while Jamie’s perspective alternates in forward
motion from the beginning of their relationship.
Red Branch Theatre Company will partner with HopeWorks of Howard County (formerly the Domestic Violence Center of Howard
County) to promote healthy relationships over the course of the run of “The
Love/Loss Cycle.” HopeWorks will facilitate two post-show presentations entitled
“About Love: A Conversation on
Complicated Relationships” as an enhancement for Red Branch audiences. In
addition to providing services for individuals in crisis, HopeWorks facilitates
many free programs about love, loss and personal growth. HopeWorks’ talk back
will educate audiences and the community as to how the organization uses the creative
arts to make hearts sing in response to the themes presented in The Love/Loss
Cycle.
Red Branch Theatre Company is the professional theatre in
residence at Drama Learning Center. Producing four to five shows a season, Red
Branch’s mission is to foster a love of theatre in its audiences that is
life-long. Red Branch remains committed
to providing professional theatre to the Baltimore/Washington corridor at
