A lot has happened in the last three years since Millennial Theatre Company last staged “The Last Five Years.”
The biggest change is a pandemic that has kept MTC and nearly every other local theater from performing for a live audience.
The group used Hopewell Theatre’s intimate performance space in Youngstown for its 2018 production of the two-character musical written by Jason Robert Brown.
“We only did one weekend, and the cast and I always joked about doing a revival at some point or a concert version or putting songs online at the very least,” director Joe Asente said. “Once we got through ‘Songs from the New World’ (an early musical by Brown that MTC presented online last fall) and realized how we could do it, the rights came available for ‘Last Five Years’ for remote performances.”

As Valentine’s Day arrives, candy aisles are flooded with heart-shaped chocolates and love songs permeate on the radio. There are countless romantic comedies and epic love stories for those who just want to indulge in the excitement of the day, but what about those who want to do anything but celebrate romance?
While action or horror is always a safe option, some movies more directly oppose the spirit of the romance-focused holiday, exploring the problems with love and relationships. Whether you’re seeking catharsis for a Valentine’s Day spent single or merely wish to offset the overwhelming atmosphere of the day, these ten movies are an ideal antithesis to the saccharine.
