Join Raleigh Little Theatre and the Raleigh Symphony Orchestra for an outdoor concert-style performance of Jason Robert Brown’s Drama Desk award-winner The Last Five Years, presented in RLT’s Louise “Scottie” Stephenson Amphitheatre.

The Last Five Years is an intimate window into a couple’s doomed marriage. Cathy, a struggling actress, and Jamie, a budding novelist on the brink of wild success, are 20-somethings in New York who meet, fall in love, marry, and divorce over the span of five years. Cathy tells the story from the end of their marriage; Jamie begins from when they first meet. As the musical unfolds, Cathy moves backward in time to the beginning of the relationship as Jamie moves toward the end; they meet only once, in the middle, at their wedding.

This show will be performed in the style of a concert, supported by five musicians from the Raleigh Symphony Orchestra.

Attending a performance in the Amphitheatre

Since the amphitheatre is part of a City of Raleigh park, please adhere to the following rules:

• You are welcome to bring your own food and non-alcoholic beverages
• The theatre reserves the right to check coolers for outside alcohol
• No open flames or candles (including citronella candles)
• No glass bottles allowed
• Dogs are allowed but must be kept on a leash and be well-behaved

Bringing blankets or chairs makes seating more comfortable. Lawn chairs or folding chairs work well. There is grass between the concrete benches, and chairs fit well in that space.

Indoor restroom facilities, which are wheelchair accessible, are available at the Main Stage lobby entrance. Porta-johns, which are also wheelchair accessible, are located to the left of the stage near the ramp.

The RLT parking lot will only be open to vehicles with disability parking placards as well as limited parking in the front half of the lot for anyone. The RLT staff parking lot is only for drop off of patrons with wheelchairs or mobility issues – no parking. You may park on the street where signposted.
