Synopsis:

From MTI: 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.

Character Breakdowns:

*Both roles are open and SCP encourages actors of all race, ethnicities, identities, and body types to audition

Catherine Hiatt: Female-identifying; Age 25-35. Character arcs from an ambitious, fresh-faced girl in a new relationship to a woman stunned by a betrayal and a divorce that she is only beginning to understand.

Jamie Wellerstein: Male-identifying; Age 25-35. Character arcs from an ambitious guy on a promising first date with a dazzling career to someone who is blinded by success and ego. He is very lovable, yet makes unintentional choices that sabotage his own happiness.

SCP is no longer requiring proof of vaccination but this is subject to change for future productions at our discretion.
