Best Bets for Jan. 25-27 | The Bainbridge Blab
Published 10:00 am Friday, January 25, 2019
Two main events are on tap this weekend for fun-seekers on Bainbridge.
First, inD Theatre’s production of “The Last Five Years” continues at Rolling Bay Hall.
Written and composed by Tony Award-winner Jason Robert Brown, the show has been praised by Rolling Stone, Variety and Time (which called it one of the best 10 shows of 2001) and it racked up a bunch of Drama Desk Awards and one Outer Critics Circle Award nomination, too.
It tells the story of one couple’s five-year relationship, from the thrills of new love to the painful separation. However, Jamie tells the story from beginning to end, while Catherine relates it in reverse, and the characters’ emotional timelines converge only once — at their wedding in the middle of the show.
A new inD Theatre revival of the show, directed by Shannon Dowling and starring Rachel Noll James and Jesse Smith, will take the stage at Rolling Bay Hall at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Jan. 18 and Saturday, Jan. 19, Friday, Jan. 25 through Sunday, Jan. 27 and Friday, Feb. 1 through Sunday, Feb. 3.
It is recommended for audiences 13 and older, and the running time is approximately 90 minutes with no intermission.
Admission is free (donations are accepted), and reservations (highly recommended) can be made at www.indtheatre.org.
Second, on Saturday, fans of Robert Burns will again take over the Treehouse Café.
Much praise has been heaped upon the memory of Robert Burns since his death at the tender age of 37 in 1796.
And the so-called Ploughman Poet, the National Poet of Scotland and the brain behind “Auld Lang Syne,” probably the most famous song almost nobody knows all the words to, will once again have his birthday marked at the Treehouse Café Saturday, Jan. 26 with a night of pipes, haggis and toasting.
The Bainbridge Blab is your one-stop spot to get the 411 on all things 98110.
