HK is a little lost. They just quit their job as a police officer, broke up with their cowboy-partner, and made a vendetta with their brother-in-law. In Brian Dang’s absurd comedy, they find themselves caught in the throes of a family drama, noir, and romance. And worst of all, nobody will stop commenting on the fact that they are wearing a Hello Kitty™ mascot costume (but it’s slightly off because of copyright laws.)

The Last Five Years
Book, Music, Lyrics: Jason Robert Brown
Circle Theatre
August 14- September 6, 2025
Directed by Ashley White
Music Direction: Cody Dry
Scenic Design: L. Mazur
We round out the Summer with a contemporary classic, one of the most beloved musicals about a tumultuous heartbreak to ever have been written. Fresh off its first-ever Broadway Run, starring Adrienne Warren and Nick Jonas, Circle Theatre will be the first to bring The Last Five Years by Jason Robert Brown back to the area!
The Last Five Years captivates its audiences with its innovative storytelling and beloved score. A powerful piece that speaks to the universal experience of love and loss, this critically acclaimed musical delves into the five-year romance between Cathy and Jamie, two aspiring artists, through a unique narrative structure: Cathy’s story unfolds from the end of their relationship moving backward, while Jamie’s perspective moves forward from the start.
Memorable melodies soar throughout the piece, which leave audiences considering all that can go wrong when two people collide - and all that could have gone right, had they ever truly seen one another.

Mac Beth
By Erica Schmidt | Regional Premiere
Circle Theatre
October 9- November 1, 2025
Directed by Sasha Maya Ada
Scenic Design: L. Mazur
A regional premiere by Erica Schmidt, Adapted from William Shakespeare’s Macbeth
An exhilarating adaptation that revitalizes Shakespeare’s classic tragedy, Mac Beth infuses the tale of ambition and madness with a vibrant, contemporary energy. After school, seven teenage girls convene in an abandoned lot. They drop their backpacks, transform their uniforms, and dive into a DIY retelling of Macbeth. As the girls conjure kings, warriors, and witches, Shakespeare’s bloody tale seeps into their reality. Mac Beth recontextualizes a classic text to expose the ferocity of adolescence and the intoxicating power of collective fantasy.
Mac Beth’s setting amplifies the intensity and immediacy of the story, creating an immersive experience that brings new dimensions to the classic narrative. This thrilling adaptation, that critics have lauded as “vividly reimagined” and “boldly innovative,” blends timeless drama with a contemporary twist, and closes Circle’s 44th season with a captivating exploration of power, ambition, and identity.
