The Last Five Years is a contemporary musical that ingeniously chronicles the five year life of a marriage, from meeting to break-up... or from break-up to meeting, depending on how you look at it. The Last Five Years is an intensely personal look at the relationship between an up-and-coming writer and a struggling actress told from both points of view. Variety called the show "nearly perfect."

The production features two separate casts during the run of the production. Artistic Director Cathy Street explains, “What is fascinating to me is how different a show can be based on the actors involved. In a two person show that deals with a complicated relationship, this is easier to explore than ever. The goal is to see how under the same director’s vision, different actors’ interpretations will create a different experience for the audience member. Our hope is that audiences will want to see both casts and see how the show might make them feel differently based on the actors’ choices.”

The two casts feature professional artists in the Nashville community. Weekends one and two will feature Kacie Phillips and Ryan Greenawalt, and in another interesting twist, real-life married couple Cori Laemmel and Tyson Laemmel will perform weekends three and four.

Tickets are $16 for adults and $14 for students and seniors. STC is offering a special, “Two cast-two shows for $22”. Once tickets have been purchased for a performance in the first two weekends, patrons will receive a coupon for the second two weekends to see the show with the second cast at a discount.

As part of its 2012 “Street Corner Show” series, featuring shows that are returning by popular demand, STC is excited to bring back the two-woman comedic tour de force that is Parallel Lives. Parallel Lives is based on the stand-up comedy of Obie Award winners, Kathy Najimy (Sister Act) and Mo Gaffney (That 70’s Show, Mad About You). Throughout the course of the evening, two actresses - Holly Allen and Cathy Sanborn Street - embody nearly thirty different characters from Jersey teenagers to country western bar flies to celestial beings postulating whether the man or woman should be lucky enough to give birth.

Of the Nashville production, one reviewer wrote: “Only the permanently humor-impaired would be unable to find a whole lot to laugh about - even cheer about - in this warmly produced and acted show. Allen and Street are both so likable and so completely fearless onstage that it lifts both the production and the audience to unexpected heights.”

Parallel Lives runs Tuesday nights, May 22 through July 3, with tickets $18 for adults and $16 for students and seniors.
