The City of Sierra Madre warmly welcomes Ted Tegart as our new Community Services 
Supervisor.

Tegart comes to Sierra Madre after over a decade with the Los Angeles County Department 
of Parks and Recreation at the Los Angeles County Arboretum in Arcadia, Calif. Tegart is 
a native of western New York and moved to California in 1997 to study at California State 
University, Northridge. While at CSUN, Tegart began working for the City of Moorpark 
in their recreation department. He developed a passion for public programming and 
community service, which led him to Pasadena in the early 2000s.

He currently lives in Pasadena’s historic Bungalow Heaven with his wife and three 
elementary school-aged boys. In his free time, he leads Cub Scout Pack 1 in Altadena and 
is a coach on various sporting teams.

Sierra Madre Playhouse Presents:

Jason Robert Brown's 

THE LAST FIVE YEARS

MAY 17 - JUNE 16, 2024

Jason Robert Brown's acclaimed 
musical The Last Five Years, 
a captivating and emotionally 
charged musical journey, explores 
the complex dynamics of a 
relationship through the lens of 
time, with Cathy and Jamie's love 
story unfolding in an enthralling 
way. 

Set against a backdrop of soaring 
melodies and heartfelt lyrics, the play delves into the highs 
and lows of love, dreams, and the passage of time. Double 
cast due to the length of the run, the featured actors are 
Bryan Mittelstadt, Jayde Mitchell, Margaret Berkowitz, Jackie 
Bonsignore. 

Brown, hailed as “one of Broad-way’s smartest and most 
sophisticated songwriters since Stephen Sondheim” (Phil-
adelphia Inquirer), garnered three Tony Awards for his work 
on Parade and The Bridges of Madison County. 

The play is directed by Josh Shaw, the Founding Artistic 
Director of Pacific Opera Project who was named one of 
Musical America's Top 30 In-novators in Classical Music for 
his impressive track record of delivering groundbreak-ing and 
entertaining performances. 

A film version of The Last Five Years was released in 2015, 
starring Anna Kendrick and Jeremy Jordan.
